OSU Trombone & Euphonium Studio Launches Facebook Page
We recently launched a Facebook fan page for our studio. Follow us to stay up to date on latest news and events.
Thank you for visiting the internet home of the Oklahoma State University trombone and euphonium studio. We hope you enjoy what you find here. This site exists for several reasons:
- To provide a convenient way for friends and family of OSU trombone and euphonium studio members to stay informed.
- To provide prospective students information about attending OSU. We are always looking to add new students to the studio, and we hope this site provides plenty of information on what we have to offer, and how to apply for study.
- To keep in contact with OSU trombone and euphonium studio alumni. We want to know what our graduates are doing, and we want them to keep informed about what is currently going on at OSU.
- To keep current OSU trombone and euphonium students updated on news and upcoming events.
- To promote the individual members of the studio.
- To promote ensembles involving members of the studio.
If there are any questions this site doesn’t answer, please feel free to contact Professor Paul Compton using the form at the right or by calling (405) 744-6249. Please check back regularly for updates.
