In recent years the choir has performed at: the 2001 International Trombone Association Festival in Nashville Tennessee, the 2004, 2006 and 2007 OMEA Conferences in Columbus and Cleveland OH, the 2007 IMEA Indiana Conference in Indianapolis IN, Ohio University, Ithaca College, Michigan State University, Bowling Green State University, and with such guest artists as Phil Wilson, John Fedchock, Ken Thompkins, Mark Hartman, and composer Eric Ewazen of the Julliard School.
