My view of Mr. Trautwein was from the woodwind pit rather than the risers. And yet 25 years after graduating I find I can recall every word and note of so much of his repertoire mentioned here. It was the diction that made it so memorable! Looking back on that time and the outrageous dedication he and Gary Cialfi had for pushing high school students to perform like professionals, I'm sure I didn't appreciate how lucky we were.
