I study Music Industry: Technology and hope to work for the film industry. I am a brother of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia Fraternity of America and Kappa Kappa Psi National Honorary Band Fraternity. I am involved in several ensembles including the University Wind Ensemble, Concert Choir, and the five piece Clarinet Consort. The Concert Choir just got back from a European tour to Austria, Slovenia, and Italy. We visited Vienna and competed in the World Choir Games in Graz, Austria. We placed second in the Mixed Youth Choir category and placed first in both the
Gospel/Spiritual and Jazz acapella category. We visited Ljubljana, Slovenia and Venice, Italy. This trip made me think about SOA a lot and I am now trying to re-connect with memebers of SOA 2004 that I have lost touch with. If you were a member of the 2004 tour, contact me. My Aim is I2622 and if you have facebook look me up." hobbsm@mounties.mansfield.edu
