This session was done in a "talk show" or "chat show" format, with incoming WASBE President (and percussionist) Dr. Glenn Price as the host. Items discussed included the Schwantner Concerto which would be performed the following day — a video clip with Schwanter and Glennie was played (see picture at right). Also, questions from the audience were taken.
