Ann Arbor Concert Band at the Michigan Theater on Sunday, May 18!
As some of you may know, I play baritone saxophone in the Ann Arbor Concert Band. I'd like to invite you to our concert this Sunday, May 18. :) It promises to be very special - we're featuring the winner of our annual Young Artist Scholarship, Ashley Harris, an exceptionally talented flutist from my old high school.
