Soon to be Plainwell MIddle School 8th grader, Joshua Pembrook, recently had the opportunity to attend the annual International Trombone Festival in Utah from July 12-15, an event typically reserved for trombone professionals and college students.
The International Trombone Festival is the most important event of the year for trombonists worldwide. It attracts about 1,000 participants from multiple countries and includes premiere trombone artists from around the world, as well as a Youth Workshop. This year's event was held at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City and Joshua was one of the Youth Workshop participants where for four days he and other students were able to work with renowned trombonists in master classes, warm up sessions, large trombone ensembles, warm up sessions and clinics. They were also able to meet and take photos of some of their trombone "heros" who were attending the Festival.
