Hi Tom,
I looked for your email on your website and didn't see it, if you could be so kind as to list it, I have a question for you re the EMF. I have a 14yo Tuba player, she's very talented. I saw the repertoire, she is playing Pines of Rome tomorrow at All County (nassau county ny) where she is 1st chair of 9 and the only Tuba playing that orchestral piece. She has also attended Interlochen and was the Presidential Scholar Award winner at Luzerne last summer. Anyway, I'm not sure if she is on the young side, or how many candidates you have but I'd like to talk further about it…thanks so much!

Here's my work email: mccaslint@ecu.edu" target="_blank

Look forward to chatting!

Tom

BUMP! Applications are due March 1st!!
