MUSIC - JULY 2009

 

IHS Report

The 2009 International Horn Symposium was a terrific success. Everyone around here was walking around with a big smile for the whole week. We even saw Randall Faust smiling most of the time and he was the one who put the whole symposium together. It really did run like clock work and those hornist just know how to have fun, learn, make connections, try instruments, and apparently find their way to Buffalo Wild Wings all on their own. Here's a photo gallery to bring back the memories.
