CONGRATULATIONS to Alicia Baker, a freshman in music education, who recently competed in the National V-Roland Accordian festival in Los Angeles, and will represent the U.S. this month at the International V-Roland Accordiaon Festival in Rome, Italy. Baker will compete for the U.S. against individuals representing 20 other countries. She began playing accordion at the age of six, and has
since taken multiple first places, as well as the championship at the international accordion competition in Kimberley, Canada (KIOTAC). She has also placed first in
multiple divisions at the Leavenworth International Accordion Competition. Music is clearly her main passion,
but she has plenty of other activities she loves to do -- including playing
soccer, tennis, and dance, as well as baking and performing in musical theater. Alicia says she can't wait to see where the future takes her!

The OSU music department welcomes Russ Christensen! Russ Christensen, who just completed his 16th and final year as the choral director at Sprague High School in Salem, is the new director of the OSU Meistersingers, following Hal Eastburn's retirement this Spring. This is a very exciting development for the OSU music department as we continue to enhance our strong choral program and our focus on choral music education.
