SCHOLARSHIP FUND

Although our fees to participate in SOGO are reasonable, they are still a barrier for many families. We believe young musicians benefit from participating in SOGO’s programs and should not be prohibitive because of economic circumstances. For that reason, SOGO is reaching out to begin building the Future Music Makers Scholarship Fund.

Children interested in joining SOGO have their family member complete a simple

application form. Based on their interest and demonstrated financial need, up to half the tuition fees can be awarded. All information is kept confidential.

The Future Music Makers Scholarship Fund is supported by committed community members to prevent financial circumstances from becoming an obstacle to any young musician’s participation in SOGO’s orchestras. A robust fund will ensure that all young musicians will have equal opportunity to experience the highquality programming SOGO offers the South Sound area.

CONDUCTORS

CAMERON MAY

Cameron May is Music Director of the Student Orchestras of Greater Olympia and the SPSCC Symphony Orchestra at South Puget Sound Community College in Olympia, Washington, and the Portland Festival Symphony in Portland, Oregon. During his tenure at SPSCC, in addition to conducting the orchestra, Mr. May has taught courses in college and career success, ear training, music fundamentals, and music theory, served as interim director of the SPSCC Jazz Band, and helped to build and launch the Associate in Music direct transfer degree. A strong advocate of collaboration in the musical arts, Mr. May has conducted performances or premieres of works by several contemporary American composers, as well as in ballet, musical theater, and opera settings.

Mr. May received a Bachelor of Music Education degree from the University of Colorado Boulder and a Master of Music degree in Orchestral Conducting from the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign. He continues to maintain his violin playing through his position as Principal Second Violin with the Lake Chelan Bach Fest Orchestra each July.

When not conducting, teaching, or playing violin, Mr. May can be found reading on his back porch, walking in the woods, or going out of his way to chase after Amtrak trains.

GREG ALLISON

Artistic Director, Brass Choir Conductor, and Philharmonic Orchestra Conductor

Greg Allison received his B.A. and M.A. in Music Education from Western Washington University where he studied trumpet with the late William D. Cole. Mr. Allison had taught instrumental music in the Olympia School District for 40 years. His bands were selected to perform at the State and Northwest Music Educators’ Conferences and the Western International Band Clinic.

Mr. Allison has performed in the Northwest Wind Symphony, the 22nd Ave Dixieland Band, the Tacoma Concert Band, and the Evergreen Brass Quintet. He has been a guest adjudicator, clinician, and guest conductor for state and regional festivals and conventions including the Mid-West Band and Orchestra Clinic in Chicago.

He has served on the Washington Music Educator’s board of directors, managed WMEA High School and Junior All-State, and was a recipient of the WMEA Teacher of the Year for middle level education. In 2014, he was inducted into the WMEA Hall of Fame.

SOGO is a proud member of League of American Orchestras and Washington State Federation of Music Clubs.

DAN CRAIG Academy Conductor

Dan Craig is the Director of Bands for the Napavine School District. He received his BA in both Music Education and Tuba Performance from Central Washington University and earned his MS in Curriculum and Instruction.

Mr. Craig is an award-winning tuba player, performing regularly throughout the region. He is a member of the Evergreen Brass Quintet, the Northwest Wind Symphony, and the SPSCC Symphony Orchestra at South Puget Sound Community College. Mr. Craig studied Tuba with Marty Erickson at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee where he won the Peck School of the Arts Concerto Competition as a freshman. Mr. Craig was the principal tuba for both the Wind Ensemble under Larry Gookin and the Symphony Orchestra under Dr. Nikolas Caoile while at CWU and has performed at many Low Brass Clinics and Symposiums throughout the country. He was the Drum Major for the CWU Marching Band and student director of the CWU Tuba and Euphonium choir.

LINDA PYLE Debut Orchestra Conductor

Linda Pyle conducts the Debut orchestra and teaches general music, choir, drama, and orchestra for North Thurston Public schools. She holds degrees in music education and classroom management from Pacific Lutheran University and American College of Education. Her orchestras have made appearances at state music teacher conventions and several guest appearances at Disneyland.

CONDUCTORS

Mrs. Pyle’s musical interests are varied: she plays violin with the Olympia Symphony Orchestra, fiddles with a local bluegrass group and plays bass guitar, cello, keyboards, and electric violin with her worship team.

When not making music, Mrs. Pyle enjoys teaching yoga, Pilates, and Sunday school, but most of all, cheering on her two children’s athletic and academic endeavors along with her husband.

ELIZABETH WARD Brass Choir Assistant Conductor

Elizabeth Ward received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Washington and a Master of Musical Arts degree from Yale School of Music. Ms. Ward is a former member of the New Haven Symphony, Pennsylvania Ballet Orchestra, Pennsylvania Orchestra, Philadelphia Opera Orchestra and Young Audiences Inc., of Philadelphia.
