I've heard them and they sounded great. Young people should never be underestimated.

Re: Post Your Group and Section Photos Here
Looks can be deceiving. Three of the four non-elephants in the photo have DMAs and are university professors. Only one is still in his twenties, and he has his MM from Yale.
This is one of the best trombone sections I have worked with. Very solid section.

@tubatodd That reminds me of the Canadian Brass in recent years... Sometimes it looks like Chuck and his grandkids. But hoo boy can those grandkids play!

Re: Post Your Group and Section Photos Here
A gig this past weekend at a tree lighting event—was a bit chilly but fun.
Josh Omaits on Oval Baritone, Pete Norton on euphonium, myself on F tuba, and one of my mentors, Tim Olt on CC tuba. I learn so much and improve my playing every time I play with these fellows.

Re: Post Your Group and Section Photos Here
My “worldly folk music group” Sombati at a Ren Faire in Frisco Texas last weekend. We played a mix of 14th to 17th century Italian, French, Irish, & Scottish music, some traditional Moroccan, Turkish, & Bulgarian music, and a couple of newish things that seemed to fit. Fun show.

Sousa season is in full swing. Good weekend $1,700 raised for a local food bank.
As amateur as they come...I know just enough to be dangerous.
