One of the great events of 2009 was the NSU Trumpet Festival.  This year's festival attracted more than 100 students to our campus and featured two wonderful players, Vince DiMartino and Nicholas Harvey.  I can't thank these two outstanding professionals enough for their wonderful contribution to this year's event.  The online ITG news story covering this event can be found here.
