Saxophone players attended the Jeff Kaser Sax Clinic Workshop, February 20, 2010 (the same day our brass went to CSUSB Brass Day and Drumline went to their 1st competition in Bakersfield). Clarinetists are attended the Clarinet Day at Cal. State Fullerton the prior week on Saturday, February 13, 2010.
We mostly play in our community (home football games, parades, Viewfinders bike event) and host the April 24, 2010 SCSBOA Solo/Ensemble Festival (application here).
We're celebrating a lot of success!
