The concerts consist primarily of -- music written for trombone choir and trombone quartet -- transcriptions of classical music. All students enrolled in applied lessons participate in the Trombone Choir as well as several students who are music minors or who major on another instrument. In the past ten years the Trombone Choir has premiered the following works written by alumni, faculty, undergraduate and graduate students: "The Third Day" by Richard Erdmann "Morrie", Hindsight", and "Walking Music" by Jeffrey Arwady "Carmen Suite No. 1" (Bizet) arranged by Robert Lindahl "Concerto in Bb Major" (Handel) arranged by Dr. Dennis Horton "Three Pieces for 4 Trombones and 3 Percussion" by Michael Hunter "John 19:41" (Webber) arranged by James Gagne. In addition to the full 16-24 member Trombone Choir there are several trombone quartets within the studio. These quartets often play in the public schools and for community events as well as University service events.
