I just finished a special week hanging with the most enthusiastic people. There was an amazing spirit of fraternity and mutual support at the International Trombone Festival. Bravo to all the fine performers, competitors, and their excellent teachers! Special props to Dr. Bradley Palmer for organizing a terrific show, and shout-out to Justin Cook who did an amazing job managing the exhibits.
