[Matt K]

I received a number of requests from a variety of players about what options are available; last year I made a similar sticky to this one with the idea that a list of these events in one place for easy access might be useful. So with that in mind, if anyone is aware of something, post it here and I'll edit this post so that it has all of the information. Let's include the following information:

Name of the Event:
Group coordinating the event:
Ages Allowed:
Dates, specifications:
Location(s):
Artists involved
Genre(s) applicable (chamber, orchestral, jazz, trombone specific, etc.):
Tangential information about the area, event itself, etc.:

So since we are losing the performance aspect of RMBI we are going to increase the amount and types of seminars and masterclasses that we will be providing. Hopefully include breakout sessions, private lessons will still be available. Lots of possibilities. (It's also cheaper since it's online)
