When I’m 64 – Ms. Kluga’s brass quintet from undergrad at Ithaca College. They met at the freshman orientation Ice Cream Social (sound familiar?), decided to form a BQ and performed together throughout their years at IC. They called ourselves the “Barefoot Brass” because we performed without shoes (to show off our crazy socks).
