Attended a PTG chapter meeting as a guest yesterday. One room over - this would be 25 years since I sat in that very spot for my early morning music theory class. Same curtains! At least the old wooden chairs are gone haha!
While I was there, I had to take a walk around. Roughly 10 years ago, Fifth Octave, LLC started. The purpose: to give a facility make-over in the music department. We donated the acoustical fabric covering many of the bulletin boards. (Yes, they are also flame retardant.) We also created a rehearsal space with sound absorption.
Time flies but music always lives on. Decades, or even a score and 5!
Personal note: I think it's pretty cool that these boards still look decent after 10+ years of students, hallway traffic, and postings.
