Mail in Registration is over, but you can still register right at the door when you arrive!

The conference will have three guest artists:

Bob Platt is a former trumpet player with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, and is flying all the way over from Germany to be with us at this conference. This is a rare opportunity to be able to hear a trumpet player from a major European symphony play and give masterclasses in the United States.

Bill Adam during the course of his career at Indiana Univeristy, became one of the most well known trumpet instructors of the twentieth century. He has had an unprecedented number of students experience success in major orchestras, the recording industry, and jazz. Students include Bob Platt, John Head, Chris Botti, Charley Davis, Jerry Hey, Randy Brecker, and Pat Harbison to name a few.
