Washington Wind Symphony

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. A member recalls seeing a teacher play “Do You Hear What I Hear?” on trombone at a school concert. It was so cool with its deep, rich sound. I learned trombone and have played since. Music is so important to me. Most of my best friends are musicians.
