Where: University of Western Illinois, Macomb IL
When: June 2009

This is absolutely the highest honor the Fox Valley Horn Choir can achieve as we have been asked to perform at the next International Horn Society convention in June 2009.  The details will have to be worked out yet, but this is the closest to Wisconsin the convention will probably be in the next 25 years or more.  Our highlight selection will be “Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves” again.  Other selections will be decided over the next months.  Pass the word to any and all serious hornists from the valley.  Music will be available from Don Krause after the Horns A Plenty performance in December.
