2010 - Percussion Galore at Round Top
The Percussion Festival at Round Top, (Texas) is an annual music festival dedicated to the performance of contemporary works for percussion.
Each year the festival features works performed/composed by solo performers, chamber percussion groups, and composers. Recent participants include: So Percussion, Third Coast Percussion, Meehan/Perkins Duo, Thomas Burritt, Paul Lansky, and Dan Welcher.
We are being welcomed by the Alabama-Coushatta tribe at their wonderful campground near Livingston, TX. It is located off US-190E, about 70 miles (from downtown) north of Houston (via I-59). As always we will be occupying the Section D. Amenities include: public bathrooms and showers, Laundromat is within 3 minute drive, fire rings and charcoal grills, water, also volleyball field, covered pavilion and a playground next to the beautiful lake in the pine forest.
KSP-South is a group of enthusiastic people that organizes biannual gatherings called Slyots (literally translated as “fly-ins”) and helps unite all Russian-speaking people who enjoy the Russian style of camping.
KSP in translation stands for the Club of Amateur Song. These songs are usually written by average people about their ordinary lives, yet the simple human experience of each song is translated into a powerful message of wisdom and truth, about the value of friendship, family, and love.
Slyots of KSP-South are held twice a year, and organizers try very hard to make everyone feel welcome, even those whose song selection varies slightly from the traditional KSP style. By bringing together the Russian speaking community, KSP-South not only allows them to experience their culture, but also expose their spouses, children and friends to this beautiful Russian tradition.

A new priest has been appointed for Austin's Russian Orthodox mission (Protection of the Holy Theotokos Russian Orthodox Church). Fr. Hieromonk Aidan (Keller), (512) 803-6321, has been appointed to serve the church on behalf of its rector, Fr. Cassian Sibley of College Station, Texas.
The church is conveniently located off Burnet Road in north Austin. It is located in a mobile home off the parking lot behind Galina's European Skin Care Spa. The address is 5401-B Clay Avenue, Austin, TX 78756. Services are held 5:30 p.m. every Saturday (Great Vespers), and 9:30 p.m. every Sunday (Hours and Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom). The public is welcome. After Liturgy there is a trapeza (a light community meal with Russian tea, coffee, and refreshments which usually reflect the Russian kitchen). There are also feast-day services, as announced.
Services are half in Church Slavonic, half in English. The church is incorporated as a parish of the Diocese of Chicago and Mid-America of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (Russian Orthodox Church Abroad), which is in full communion with the Russian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate.
