Dear Friends of Conan,

One year ago, today, we were gathered together listening to amazing students making music thanks to Conan McLemore. Who could have imagined the sadness that we would be feeling a year later for our friend, teacher, and co-worker.

This is a space where we can all share memories, pictures, and stories. Please feel free to share fun stories, sad stories, silly stories, how you met Conan, your favorite memory of him, or anything that comes to mind.

Hello and thank you for your patience.

For various reasons, many of the planning committee are unable to move forward with Conan’s in-person memorial. We will set up a digital memorial on the PLCM page in early February in a way that people can share their stories, pictures, and memories of Conan.

In order to help Conan's family take care of his belongings, we are trying to locate the bus that Conan purchased. We believe that one of the parents may have been keeping it for him. Please let us know if you have any information on it's whereabouts. Thank you.

We've got an awesome recital coming up! All five of our bands are getting ready to play including a brand new group! Our student body president is planning her speech, and there are some awesome young performers getting ready to take the stage, some for the first time! And of course, we find out who won the House Cup this semester. Hope you can join our live stream on October 29th!

Listening Assignment:
So What? That's the name of the song for this week: So What by Miles Davis. It is the first track on his 1959 album, Kind of Blue, which is one of the great jazz albums of all time. Five extra points if you can tell me who the saxophonist is.
