Texas Bandmasters Hall of Fame
On behalf of the membership of
the Alpha Chapter of Phi Beta Mu,
I cordially invite you to attend this
year’s Texas Bandmasters Hall of
Fame ceremony. It will be held
on Tuesday, July 29, at 2:00 p.m.
at the Marriott Riverwalk Hotel,
Salon C.
This year’s inductees include
Jeff Doughten, James Hejl, David
Lambert, Ray Lichtenwalter,
Anthony “Ike” Michalsky,
David Riker, and Lee South.
Membership in the Hall of Fame
originates with nominations
received from a variety of sources.
There is a standing committee that
investigates potential candidates
that are received from the general
public, music educators and Phi
Beta Mu members. Candidates do
not have to be a member of Phi Beta
Mu to be eligible. Requirements
are that the candidate is at least
65 years of age (or deceased) and
retired, have taught a minimum
of 10 years in the state of Texas,
and have produced and maintained
a consistently outstanding band
program. You may acquire
nomination forms from the Hall
of Fame committee chairman,
Ben Gollehon at
bengollehon@att.
net
or contact me, Gary Wells, at
gwells2505@aol.com
and I will be
happy to send you one.
We feel this is one of the premier
events of the TBA Convention/
Clinic. It gives us a chance to
recognize the contributions of
music educators who have made a
difference in the bands of Texas. I
invite you to visit the Phi Beta Mu
web site (which can be accessed
on the TMEA web page) to view
the biographies of past inductees
—this is a wealth of band history.
These eminent men and women
made our band programs today
possible. You will be inspired by
their commitment to excellence and
their perseverance in overcoming
obstacles.
Phi Beta Mu will be sponsoring
two clinics at the TBA Convention/
Clinic:
• Monday, July 28, 4:00-5:00 p.m.
