Why you should consider us
an interview with the Baylor Brass Quintet
MLMF Musician Info!!!
Please plan on arriving Sunday evening if at all possible. I will update this page in the coming weeks with added details. This is your one stop shopping for all MLMF info.
Changes for this year
The concerts will be shorter (no Pagosa Brass at all this year). Sol Brass should plan on 15 minutes max for Thursday and Friday - these can be completely different programs or some of the same. Wednesday is only Baylor Trio and small BBQ contingent.
We will have less in the way of clinics/classes but plan on meeting each evening outside around the fire for our fireside chats. You guys are welcome to practice or play for faculty or just do your own thing. I will have time for Sol and BBQ rehearsals in addition to brass choir. Remember to bring hats, sunscreen and shades for our morning meadow stage rehearsals.
We will do more hiking, hanging, disc golf and relaxing. I am building more free time into each day. The schedule will be posted here in the coming weeks.
