Check out this link from the SFA Trombone Choir Fall Concert. “Hellfire” by Randy Stagich is a great piece! It was selected as one of the pieces for the International Trombone Festival’s Composers Workshop and was premiered by the Cramer Choir.

Welcome
The Fall 2021 semester is off to a great start for this large trombone studio in this large School of Music! There are so many ensemble opporutnites to choose from: three concert bands, the symphony orchestra, three jazz bands, the trombone choir, the marching band, the trombone octet, the SFA Trombone quartet, the Ladybones quartet, the junior quartet, and the freshmen quartet! Updated pictures and bios of everyone are coming soon!
What a Busy Semester!
The SFA Trombone Studio students were extremely busy this fall semester. The marching band did three full shows. The jazz bands had a guest trombone artist from the Marines, Gunnery Sergeant, Ken Ebo. We hosted Houston Grand Opera trombonist, Thomas Hulten, for a studio masterclass. The concert bands performed a major concert and also hosted famous composer, James Syler. The trombone choir held a concert and went to an elementary school to perform. The choir used trombones in their final Masterworks concert. The orchestra performed West Side Story and Romeo and Juliet. Several students recorded for competitions. The SFA Trombone Octet was featured at a major concert. The freshmen had a weekly techniques class. A big thank you to Kyle Manuel and Chris Cannon for all your contributions to the studio over the years! Congratulations on your graduation! And, now, over the break, students are planning to attend the Big 12 Trombone Conference.
Congratulations Kahlil!

Trombone Choir Tour
Our tour to Houston this year was such a success. Performing at several high schools and then a nice meal at Cheesecake Factory to top it off.
Trombone Studio Christmas Party
Lots of food, the white elephant gift exchange, and now a new tradition of burning a door made this party awesome.

SFA Wind Ensemble Performs at TMEA
Proud of these students who performed as part of the “best brass section SFA has ever taken to TMEA”. The concert was truly phenomenal, so much so, that one of the players fainted onto the floor and couldn’t get up.
