"It was an absolute pleasure to have the opportunity to make music with this marvelous band.
We were able to do a clinic together and show a wildly enthusiastic ensemble just how an ensemble and conductor gets to know each other and tries to find that special magic in music making.
This is a one-of-a-kind group and a gem in this community!"
