The Kennesaw State University School of Music was well-represented at the 2018 Southeast Regional Tuba and Euphonium Conference (SERTEC) hosted by Florida State University in Tallahassee this May. The Kennesaw State Tuba/Euphonium quartet was invited to compete in SERTEC鈥檚 quartet competitions against students from Columbus State, Valdosta State, Southern Mississippi, Miami, Michigan, Florida, and Florida State Universities. Kennesaw State鈥檚 quartet won 3rd place overall, only placing behind the quartets from Miami and Florida State. The Kennesaw State Tuba/Euphonium Quartet features Andrew Berry (sophomore) and Mike Long (junior) on euphonium, and Nick Collins (freshman) and Kobe Greene (freshman) on tuba. In addition to the quartet鈥檚 success, Andrew Berry (sophomore) also won a finalist spot in the very competitive Euphonium Solo Artist Competition. Mr. Berry was one of six finalists in that category, which included graduate and undergraduate students from around the region.

Next, the members of the KSU Tuba/Euphonium studio will compete to earn performance and semi-finalist spots at the International Tuba and Euphonium Conference next May in Iowa City, Iowa.
