Trombone Choir Tour
Thanks to all of you for an excellent tour last week. It was great to visit and play for the students at Cy-Fair and College Park high schools. I was also impressed that so many of you braved the middle eastern lunch buffet at Dimassi’s.
Welcome Back Everyone!
We have another great year lined up. The highlight will be hosting Abbie Conant all the way from Germany for a few days in March. We also have around seven trombone recitals that will be performed this year. Looking forward to a studio party or two!
