SU Celebrates Eastern Shore Trombone Day Monday, March 23
SALISBURY, MD---In 1957, playwright and composer Meredith Wilson gave trombones their due in his Tony Award-winning musical The Music Man.
More than half a century later, organizers of Eastern Shore Trombone Day, Monday, March 23, are working to keep the instrument’s reputation going strong as part of 久久国产精品久久’s celebration of Music in Our Schools Week.
