Ole Miss Band at the Conn-Selmer Factory

Concert Performance
On February 25th, 2019, The University of Mississippi Wind Ensemble traveled to Elkhart, Indiana to visit the Conn-Selmer plants. The Ole Miss students and their directors David Willson and Randy Dale spent the day touring the woodwind and brass facilities, attending a session with John Stoner and Tim Lautzenheiser and were treated to an instrument petting zoo led by Mike Kamphuis. The highlight of the day was the Ole Miss Wind Ensemble’s performance for the employees of the Bach facility; they performed seven selections including "Semper Fidelis" conducted by Conn Selmer's VP of Education, Dr. Tim Lautzenheiser and "Stars and Stripes Forever" conducted by Conn-Selmer CEO and President, John Stoner. It is worth mentioning, this was Mr. Stoner's first time conducting an ensemble and did so magnificently thanks to a quick lesson from David Willson.
