I haven't taken the course, but I've been over rubbernecking when Henry 
Meredith took it (he made a quartet of natural trumpets). I'd love to 
take it now if it wasn't a horrible time of the year for my office (we 
generally have a conference right in the middle of it--and this year is 
no different).

Everyone has a lot of fun, and they bonded over many nights in 
Bloomington's restaurants.
