February 2012 And yes, I'm the current cover model of the ITA Journal. The
article contains excerpts from a book called, Bonanza by Julie Gendrich -- a wonderful writer and good friend. It came
as quite a surprise but it's an honour to be on the cover. January 2012 Congratulations to the UIUC Jazz Trombone Ensemble for winning
the Eastern Trombone Workshop's National Jazz Trombone Ensemble Competition! Congratulations
also goes to Josh Torrey for making it as a finalist in the ETW's National Solo Jazz Competition. Look for
us at the 2012 ETW in Fort Myer, VA, March 21-24!! Fall 2011 Sorry
to those who are awaiting PT Project II -- I know I promised a September release date, but we are still waiting on artwork.
The release date has now been pushed back to TBA. Sorry! UIUC: Are you interested
in the jazz trombone studio at the UofI? There are lots of playing opportunities at the school such as the Jazz Trombone Ensemble, the Concert Jazz Band, several
jazz combos, Latin Bands and even gigging at local clubs! If you're in the Champaign-Urbana area or even the Chicago area (we're a 2 1/2 hour drive south or a 30 minute plane
ride!!), don't hesitate to drop by Smith Hall to say hi, wander the halls, talk to other students, check out a rehearsal or
a concert! Have a great fall semester!! JP
