International Trombone Week performances
In 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012,2013, 2014, and 2015 the Bones of Cincinnatus
joined with the
Lakota Trombone
ensemble for a 40+ trombone concert. Several performances
included piano, bass, and drums, a stirring addition for the
group. During International Trombone Week the ensemble performs at churches,
retirement centers, community meeting venues. You will see pictures of
several such events below. Bob Coil has organized other performances over the years for numerous
other occasions, but few pictures or recordings preserve memories that can
be shared.
Bob Coil is a member of the International Trombone Association and is
leader of the
Bones of Cincinnatus. He may be contacted
about performances by a trombone ensemble or with questions and
comments about this web site.

Look for details about the next ITF on
International Trombone Association website.
If you are not a member of ITA, I can highly recommend it to you. The quarterly magazine is worth the annual dues alone, and if you can get to a Festival, it will change you.
ITF 2019 will be at the Ball State University, July 10-13, 2019.

Schedules dictated that we have two trombone picnics in 2013, one in
July and one in August. The weather cooperated for two beautiful
days. We had 13 trombonists one day and 9 the next, plus some
family members.
Unforeseeable conflicts come up to prevent another 6 or 7 from
attending each time. We read a lot of great music and everyone
played their fill of high and low parts.
Dave Marlar helped to organize the trombone quartet performance at the
Luthern church in Florence, KY June 2, 2013.
Mark Doan, Bob Coil, Dave Marlar, Frank Schmitt
.
For the finale, trombonists from the audience joined in to play 76
trombones. During the concert, Tim Anderson was featured soloist
for Bayrisch Polka.
