Dear Wannee It is such a small world. First off, congrats on the first straight Superior performance in Frostproof history at district marching Music Performance Assessment for the F.B.A. ( I was the color guard judge that night) Your band director, Mr. Alia and I are pretty good friends as far as band directors from other counties go. There is at least one very fine horn teacher in your area. I am not sure of the name of this person, but I know of at least one student who studies with this person. I am judging Solo & Ensemble festival in your district again this year. If you do not contact me through email, please come see me at Solo & Ensemble festival. Mr. Alia will know how to find me. Do not be shy, you are not imposing on my time. Students like you are why I am in this profession. Even if you find a horn teacher, please stop by my room at Solo & Ensemble and say hello. It is always a pleasure to meet a fellow hornist and a fellow horn list member. It is my most sincere hope to hear from you. My email is [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you have any doubts, please show this email to Mr. Alia, he will know me. Happy Thoughts, Chris Bonner Asst.
