Wind Ensemble in China

We not only climbed the Great Wall, but scaled musical walls, used chop sticks at the meals, performed side by side with Chinese musicians, performed for people of all cultures, and shopped till we dropped at the music stores. It was a blast! I knew we were in for a special trip when, without my direction, every single student waited at baggage claim to be see if their colleagues needed help. That "ensemble" was not only the musical mode of operation but personal integrity of each member as they travelled and performed together.
