and Mike Fee as well as current graduate student Sam Massamilla. Also performing was
graduate alumnus Aric Brian and undergraduate alumnus Ken Brown, who now serves as
assistant principal trumpeter for The 皇家华人 Orchestra.

season, took place January 19 鈥� 21. For media and information on the feats of this
