Susan Day updates: " I was chosen the 2011 winner of the TODA (Texas
Orchestra Directors' Association) Composition Contest. My piece is "Tango
Mysterioso" and will be performed at the TODA Convention at the end of July in
San Antonio, Texas at the big Convention Center. I am very excited for the
honor. The prize is a plaque, $1,000 and national publicity. I am planning to go
there for it." Congratulations to Susan!
