Welcome everyone!
I am leaving for Colorado on July 14 - please feel free to email or call me if you have any questions. This page will be updated each week to help you prepare and plan for your trip.
Good news! There has been a stage 2 and 3 fire ban most of the summer - this closed the National Forest in early July. There have been brief showers every afternoon and the fire ban has been lifted. This means we will resume our evening devotionals and hang time by the fire pit each evening with S’mores and coffee/hot chocolate.
I have attached the MASTER SCHEDULE with the menu and activities for the week. Please take a look - there are still a few items we may move around. We have numerous rehearsals so depending on how efficient we are, we may opt for more master classes, sessions and hang time. More to come.
What to bring:
Climate and what to wear:
We will be at 9,400 feet so it will be pleasant and cool in the evenings
Bring a rain jacket or poncho for a possible day hike
We provide day packs for day hikes
Shorts and t-shirts during the day and jeans at night
Concert Dress:
Wednesday Community United Methodist Church - Mountain Light Polo (provided) and khaki or dress slacks, dress shoes
Thursday Cade Mountain Performance at the Lodge - Mountain Light T-shirt (provided) and nice jeans and athletic shoes
Friday Finale Concert at the PLPOA Club House - Mountain Light Polo (provided) and khaki or dress slacks, dress shoes

Brass Choir Part Assignments click here
Brass Choir Part Assingments Sheets file (mobile)
Part of our mission/vision involves outreach to the community of Pagosa Springs. There will be a quintet from the Pagosa Springs Instrumental Music Society joining us on one large brass choir piece Wednesday night. Possibly the Haddad or Merreman. The PSIMS will perform a short pre-concert on Wednesday at 6:30 PM before our downbeat at 7:00 PM.
Concert Rep
Each concert will feature a combination of brass choir, quintet and trombone quartet music. Sol brass will be performing a larger set on Wednesday and Thursday. Baylor Brass will perform a larger set on Friday evening with the rest of the concert being brass choir.
There will be a short run-out/teaser concert on the San Juan river in downtown Pagosa with Sol Brass, Baylor Brass and the Mountain Light Brass Choir each playing one short work. This will help us promote the Friday night concert.
This is the third year of the festival and folks are looking forward to your visit! There will be a large banner downtown, radio spots, large feature front page article in the Pagosa Sun and numerous sponsors selling tickets. We have expanded to three concerts. The Thursday evening concert at the Mountain Light Lodge is a special invitation concert for friends, family and sponsors. We will be asking these sponsors and important Pagosa community leaders to help underwrite the festival for next year.
Lastly, I am honored that you will be joining me and the other Baylor faculty on this trip. The festival is growing in popularity and scope. I am still anticipating funding support from several of you and hope that you will do all you can to reach this important financial goal. If you have questions or concerns about support, please call me. Our budget has been carefully crafted with your support levels in place.
Begin thinking about how you would like this week to lead to restoration and spiritual renewal. Our music and our hearts are connected and it is my goal for us to take time this week to replenish and cultivate both. Consider writing down a few thoughts about your music, practice, study and include fears, hopes and dreams. While the schedule is somewhat active, I want you to find time early or late to get alone with God and seek his face, feel his presence and trust his love.
Sincerely,
Brent Phillips
