One of the most exciting projects I worked on this year was developing a sample 4-year applied curriculum to help adjuncts and community colleges improve the ability of their students to successfully transfer to a traditional 4-year trombone program.

We are excited to announce composer Noel Freeman's first original trombone octet, "Launchpad" has been named the 3rd place winner in the 2024 International Trombone Association Composition Contest. "Launchpad" is a fantastic adventure inspired by the marvel of space flight. It takes the listener on a journey that begins with sunrise over the cape, and out of this sunrise excitement builds as our craft makes its steady march to the pad. Just as we get a moment to hold our breath in anticipation, the power and awe of the launch take over as the craft soars toward the stars and enters orbit. Finally, we experience the triumphant return of the craft to Earth and celebrate a glorious mission accomplished. Get your copy today!
