Not only will we have the ONE and ONLY, James Markey, but we are excited to provide a new performing outlet for participants. New this year - Performance Showcases for high school and collegiate trombone ensembles. All performers will receive written feedback from guest artists, the Blue Ridge Trombone Quartet.
