In the International Trombone Association Journal (October 2009, Volume 37, Number 4) there was a nice review of the concert that the class did in Aarhus Denmark at the last ITF.
Concert: CODARTS Trombone Ensemble
It was "Déjà vu all over again" as the Remington Trombone Choir competition winners took to the stage of the Royal Academy's Lille Sal. They had opened the New Orleans ITF 2005. It was the second time they had participated in the competition and their second win. The young trombonists and their teachers -- Jorgen van Rijen, Pierre Volders and Ben van Dijk are to be congratulated. Micha Davis' Fanfare was a stunning opener and they continued with the music of Bruckner (Os Justi), Hassler (Mein Liebmitmirkriegen). John Stevens' The Chief was a partcularly approprate selection for the Emory Remington Winners concert. Remington was know as "the Chief." Derek Bourgeois' powerful Scherzo Funebre closed the concer. We too were winners, for getting to hear this terrific trombone choir perfomance.
