Cathy Ogram - Clarinet 

Cathy Ogram joined the US Army Field Band after graduating from Youngstown State University. She has been on over 54 national and international concert tours. Cathy has also been a soloist with the band and is a frequent performer on their  chamber music series. In addition, she has been in international competition 4 times, winning 2nd place in 1998. Ms. Ogram freelances in the Baltimore/Washington area, performs with the Columbia Orchestra and American Clarinet Choir, as well as teaches.

Here is what Cathy has to say:

"I can't say enough about the reeds.  I have been using them nearly three years.  I just began improving in leaps bounds because my time is all devoted to practicing now.  I travel all over the country on concert tour, and I have no stress any more when we go into the mountains, desert, whatever etc.  I always have something to play.  On several occasions I attempted to see if people could tell the difference between Légère and cane (if they couldn't see).  When I recorded back to back pieces on minidisc, in all cases people chose Légère as the better sound, and when I sent a competition tape in with a couple pieces on cane and the rest on Légère no comments came back from the judges on sound...other than positive comments."
