Happy Birthday to the amazing Debra Richtmeyer—trailblazer, saxophone superstar, and teaching legend! From making history as the first woman ever to teach a master class and perform as concerto soloist at the World Saxophone Congress, you've always hit all the right notes. Your students adore you almost as much as your trophy shelf does!With countless awards—including that prestigious University of Illinois Campus Award for Excellence in Graduate Teaching—you've inspired generations with humor, passion, and unmatched talent. May this birthday be filled with laughter (and cake!) worthy of someone who truly rocks every stage she graces. Cheers!
