Entry of the Gladiators

By popular demand, here is a link to the 1993 CMSA convention playing Entry of the Gladiators. Notice the small group. CMSA convention En Masse orchestras now have well over 100 players. Those of you who have been to a convention will recognize the animated and talented Mike Schroeder (sp?) in the first chair. Jim Bates is a great conductor to work under - almost as good as our own Lon Hendricks!

I was just about to paste that, Tedd - you beat me to it. While I'm on YouTube, I'll paste this Chris Thile (mandolin virtuoso) video:

I deleted the first comment because it didn't display as hyperlinked. Looks like this one isn't, either. I usually use a space bar after the link to "turn it blue" but it didn't work this time.

Oops. After reading this again it wasn't the En-Masse orchestra but rather the Louisville Mando Orch performing.
