Thank you for a great Flute Fair

A big thank you goes to all of you who helped make the flute fair in February 2006 a success. It was amazing to hear the changes in the performances of the masterclass participants. We also learned a bit about what life is like as a member of the President's own Marine Band as well as advice on how to prepare of auditions.
