26. What are some summer horn camps and festivals?
Although I can't remember whose idea this thread was, A. M. Lorraine Fader
collected all the replies, for which I thank her most greatfully.
Unfortunately, much of the information is anecdotal in nature, and there are
not a whole lot of names and addresses to go along with the camp names. If
you have more information about any of these, please email me with the
details.

27. What are some good books, et cetera, for beginning horn students?
[Thanks to Luke Zyla, pka00079@alpha.wvup.wvnet.edu, for providing the
inspiration for this section, as well as the initial information..]
The following etude books and the like are especially recommended for young
horn players:

29. Where can I get more information about the internet/usenet?
For more info about usenet news, you might want to subscribe to the news
group news.announce.newusers and news.newusers.questions. These are groups
devoted to people who are new to using usenet news.
Be aware that in some newsgroups, people are not very tolerant of "new user"
mistakes or questions. It's usually a good idea to ride along and just read
postings for a while, to get a feel for how the particular newsgroup works.
After you're familiar with what goes on, feel free to post. Also, if you use
America Online, the greater usenet community will be less likely to tolerate
mistakes you make just because of your address. Sad, but true.. There are
many good books on the Internet. Some recommendations:
The USENET Handbook: A Users Guide to NetNews, by Mark Harrison
O'Reilly & Assoc; ISBN 1-56592-101-1; US$24.95
The Whole Internet User's Guide & Catalog, by Ed Krol
O'Reilly & Assoc; ISBN 1-56592-063-5; US$24.95
Internet Starter Kit for Macintosh, by Adam C. Engst
Hayden Books; ISBN 1-56830-064-6; US$29.95, CDN$37.95
- Includes software to actually connect a Mac to the internet
as well as info on a Seattle-based service provider
- I think there's a Windoze version of the book out now.
Connecting to the Internet, by Susan Estrada
O'Reilly & Assoc; ISBN 1-56592-061-9; US$15.95
Yes, the FAQ maintainer is partial to O'Reilly books, but has no financial
interest in the company ;-)

30. Who the heck is Ron Boerger?
I am an amateur hornist active in community groups in the Austin, Texas, USA
area. I am good enough to get the very occasional paying gig but that's
about it. As to why I am the maintainer of the FAQ, well, nobody else seemed
to be doing it .. in real life, I am a senior systems administrator for
Tandem Computers, and am doing contract sysadmin work for VTEL Corporation.
I am also president of the Austin Symphonic Band. Guess how much free time I
have? ;-)
I now maintain the COMMUNITY-MUSIC mailing list, as well. This list is
devoted to community bands and orchestras. For more info, email me.
