Kazoos are small, open tubes with a top hole covered by a membrane that gives a buzzing quality to tones hummed through the tube. Kazoos were invented in 1883 and zobos, which were made in the shapes of instruments found in bands, came along in 1896. After Foreman, Hunsberger will talk about the famed Eastman Wind Ensemble which he has conducted for about 30 years. The conference will wrap up with a performance by Millennium Brass. The conference opens at 9 a.m. and ends about 4 p.m. Friday in Weisiger Theatre at the Norton Center for the Arts.
Early registration is requested.
