🔥 Congratulations to our TENOR TROMBONE FINALISTS in the first ever Solo Competition at the Southwest Trombone Conference!

The level of playing for this competition was extremely high and we thank all of you who applied to the competition.

We can’t wait to hear these finalists play in the live final round in Albuquerque on August 8th!
