The Wright State University Saxophone Quartet has been selected to perform at

Ohio. Over 160 CDs were submitted representing outstanding groups from all areas
and levels. Groups were selected through "blind" audition. In 2006
alone the quartet won a competitive audition among several quartets across the
nation to perform at the United States Navy Band International Saxophone Symposium
in Fairfax, Virginia, in January 2006, and at the National Music Educators Conference
held in Salt Lake City, Utah, in April 2006. Most recently, a recording of the
WSU Saxophone Quartet won the members a 2006 Summer Fellowship to attend the
