I RECOMMEND ANY WHO LOVE MUSIC IN GENERAL TO TRY AND ATTEND AT LEAST ONE. BROOKLYN COLLEGE IS REALLY COOL TO ATTEND, BUT I’M PERSONALLY MORE INVOLVED WITH THE YORK COLLEGE BAND AND ITS FACULTY. I PLAYED UNDER TOM ZLABINGER, GEORGE GRAY, AND YOICHI UZEKI. THEY’RE AMAZING AND ITS BECAUSE OF THEM I GET THESE NOTIFICATIONS. I WILL KEEP YOU ALL UPDATED WITH RANDOM UPDATES LIKE THESE. THE JAZZ AT YORK IS SUPERB BECAUSE IT HAS FORUMS LIKE THESE (WITH PROFESSIONAL -AND AT TIMES FAMOUS-MUSICIANS WHO PLAY AND TAKE QUESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC)
