In
recognition of his contributions to the ITA and to the trombone
community at large, it is with great pleasure that I announce that Ben
Van Dijk is the recipient of the 2003 ITA Award. This award is the
ITA's most prestigious citation and it recognizes Ben's artistic
achievements and his tireless efforts in promoting and improving global
trombone performance standards, brass pedagogy, and instrument design.
On behalf of the officers and members of the ITA, I would like to extend to Ben a hearty thank you and congratulations.
