[TPIN] Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra (Coming to San Francisco)

[Orion Development Corp - D. Arndt]

It will be worth it.  I spent a few years in one of the orchestras down 
there, and taught trumpet in the "juveniles" (youth schools).  These kids are 
full of energy - and really very talented.  I had kids working on legit 
repetoire, who could also scream notes like Sandoval... part of  the 
culture.  As a trumpet player, you can't help but admire the raw energy, 
talent and enthusiasm.  If you get a chance to see them, check it out...
