I had the pleasure of running into some Thai students from Mahidol University. They currently study with my former graduate student – Ajarn Boonchai. It’s great to see your grand-students!

ITEC 2012 Performance – Linz, Austria
Had an incredible time soloing in Linz, Austria with the UT-Pan American Tuba-Euphonium Ensemble. The venue was gorgeous as you can see, and the crowd was great and extremely enthusiastic about the performance. There were many locals and tourists in addition to those attending the 2012 International Tuba-Euphonium Conference in the audience which made for a great experience.
Special thanks to Dr. Scott Roeder, Assistant Professor of Tuba-Euphonium at UT-Pan American. As a Rio Grande Valley native, it makes me very proud to see valley students participating in the conference and presenting a very polished and musical performance!
Now to enjoy the rest of the conference this week!
