Trombonophilia...yet no YouTube (dang)
OK, this looks interesting and way over my little head. Still, perhaps someone out there might want to know about it.
The group has a choreographer and yet I find no video on their website or on YouTube. I get the feeling it would be interesting.
Here's a link to their blog:
