[TPIN] Patrick Henry Hughes

[Steve B]

Charles,

I was going to ask here if anyone knew what horn was
presented to him during that part of the program.

I think it was very nice of EHM to do that additional
work for the school and specifically for the band. 
Talk about going the extra mile and supporting music.

Congratulations to Patrick Henry, to the show's
producers and to Kanstul.
