OkMEA Convention

Pender’s Music will be bringing a wide selection of music to our booth at OkMEA, including choir, band, jazz, and orchestra music, as well as instrumental and vocal solos and ensembles. We will have a great selection of our TAKT conducting batons, and stock and perusal scores to the new OSSAA music. John, David, and DeLee are looking forward to helping our customers at OkMEA and we are planning to have a wonderful exhibit of music. We hope you will stop by and shop at the convention.

We are excited to announce we will be hosting Scott Rush at our booth following his OkMEA sessions on Thursday, January 16^th starting at 10:15am. Band director Scott Rush and leadership legend Tim Lautzenheiser join forces to create Pathway to Success, a dynamic and engaging resource that fosters the leadership qualities of every student, not just the chosen few. We expect this book will be a big hit, so make plans to get a signed copy at Pender’s!
