SJSU Trombone Choir Concert

Here's a message from Professor Tom Hornig, trombone instructor at San Jose State University:   We have another trombone event next Monday April 11 at 7:30. The SJSU Trombone Choir will have its spring concert then. I will be performing a solo on that program, and we will be featuring a trombone quartet from Amador High School in Pleasanton. This high school quartet is really special, and that they all are from one high school is remarkable. I believe their performance could prove to be very inspiring for young players. The concert is free. Instructors, be sure to let your students know about this performance. We'll talk about carpooling, etc. at rehearsal Thursday night.

SBTC to play St. Joseph's Cathedral

We have recently been invited to play Dec. 12 of this year at St. Joseph's Cathedral in downtown San Jose, a 45 - 55 minute concert to raise money for the homeless.  It will be part of a series of concerts there leading up to Christmas Eve and starting Dec. 11 with the Symphony Silicon Valley (the former San Jose Symphony).  This is a Monday evening but it will allow us to do the antiphonal works as they should be performed.  Please mark it on your calendar and join us Thursday nights as, hopefully,  we will be performing throughout the year.

Saturday's performance

We're looking at a huge storm Saturday night but we've been working so hard that we can decide if we want to perform at another venue at the same time.  We have available a small church sanctuary in south San Jose or possibly a convalescent hospital.  We can decide what we want to do tomorrow night, so keep practicing!
