Here’s a sampling of images from the 2010 Chicago Bass Festival, which was held on February 7th at Ravinia’s Bennett-Gordon Hall in Highland Park, IL. More pics (and videos!) to follow shortly!

Check out how packed the lobby was! We had 130 participants, 30 clinicians, and another 40 or 50 vendors, siblings, and parents roaming the two levels of this facility:
