Over the weekend, I had pleasure of attending the Southwest Horn Conference. The event was expertly hosted by Rose French at the Center for Performing Arts at Paradise Valley Community College.
The weather in Phoenix was an average from the mid-40’s in the morning, upwards of 70 degrees during lunch.
I missed the first full day of events, and was not able to get there until the Friday evening concert. The parking lot looked more like this when I arrived.
The first thing I noticed was the merchandise table. The conference logo looks great on a variety of materials.
I attended the opening concert in the 250-seat capacity auditorium. The stage actually seems larger than the audience space.
I then pursued my one-track mission on playing as many horns as I could.
I had a great time playing horns and talking to new and old friends.
