Bones Apart is a women's quartet from the UK. Current members are Susan Cordiner, Arlene MacFarlane, Becky Smith and Lorna McDonald. The group was established in 1999 and all four of the women play the trombone. They play music from various genres, including classical, jazz, Latin, and contemporary.

McDonald says, "The name Bones Apart comes from bones, as in trombones, and apart comes from us being all girls and therefore sets us apart from the usual stereotype of male trombonists."
St. Mary's College of Maryland is ranked one of the best liberal arts colleges in the nation by U.S. News & World Report, The Princeton Review and Kiplinger's. With roots going back to 1840, SMCM is the state's only public honors college, offering the academic excellence of a top private college with the openness and affordability of public education.
