Back from NYC

We'll, we're back. We had a GREAT time, and I think we accomplished all of our goals.

Perhaps the (new) highlight of our trip happened just hours before we left, as we enjoyed the world-renowned MINGUS DYNASTY. Conrad Herwig (trombone), Vincent Herring (alto), Wayne Escoffrey (tenor), and Donald Edwards (drums) among others were SPECTACULAR. Most of our musicians agreed that the performance alone would have been worth the cost.

I personally want to thank all participants (and parents at home, without whom we wouldn't have had many students...) who made the trip such a success. We wouldn't continue to have these opportunities without the support, maturity, and continued progressive thinking of our members.
