Travis was mentioned often in the episode with Jeff Luke, which I highly recommend you listen to as well, and so it was a tremendous honor to have Travis on the show as well.Here's a little bit of what you'll hear in this episode:-Learning the fundamentals in drum corps...-Life in the Utah Symphony...-That's one happy orchestra!...-What it would take for the Utah Symphony to be an industry leader on par with Chicago, New York, etc...-How a new concertmaster brought in a new sound and energy to the entire ensemble...-What it's like to be regarded as a pseudo-celebrity when Travis visits home...-And much more!Episode sponsors:The Utah Symphony Audition CommitteeThe State of Utah Department of Tourism and General Happiness
