Sinfonia Wind Ensemble
We’re excited to announce that Dr. A.G. “Mack” McGrannahan III, Gamma Delta (Murray State) ’70, will be conducting the Sinfonia Winds at the 2012 National Convention. The Wind Ensemble represents one of four major ensembles at Convention. We’re pleased to add Brother McGrannahan to the list of distinguished 
conductors who have led this group, a list that includes notable Sinfonians such as the 2000 Convention’s Man of Music, Col. John R. Bourgeois, and 2009 National Honorary Frank Ticheli.
Dr. McGrannahan has served on the music faculty of the University of Nevada since 1975, and assumed the position of Director of Bands in 1979. During his tenure as Director of Bands at the University of Nevada, the band program has matured greatly in its level of musical excellence. The University of Nevada Wind Ensemble, under Dr. McGrannahan’s direction, has appeared at music conferences and conventions throughout the western states, and is a regular attraction at the Western/Northwestern Division Conference of the College Band Directors National Association.
In 2008, Dr. McGrannahan was elected to membership in the prestigious American Bandmasters Association. Active as an adjudicator and guest conductor throughout the United States, he is a past President of the Nevada Music Educators Association and the Western Division of the College Band Directors National Association.
In addition to his professional duties, Brother McGrannahan serves as both faculty advisor and province governor in Province 11.
The 2012 Convention offers an unprecedented opportunity for brothers to participate in and enjoy a variety of musical experiences. We hope to see you in Orlando in 2012, where we will all be witness to The Power of Music.
