Great festival, great musicians and mentors! I had a blast playing in it for the past couple of years. Todd Cranson (tuba mentor) is a lot of fun and a excellent teacher, performer and mentor.

The orchestra plays a lot of the top rep, and is regularly featured on performance today.

Oh, and if you get in, it's FREE! You only have to pay for food while you're there and travel to and from the festival. Feel free to message me if you have any questions about it, I'd be happy to give more info.

Just wondering. Are there any music festivals for us older players? Everything seems to have an age maximum of 30 or so. I'm 57. Maybe too old ,eh?
