A self introduction:
-
Hello to all, I recently joined this site years after being a frequent reader of TrumpetMaster. I recognize some of the names here and send regards to everyone.
I got a late start on trumpet at 51 years old. I took lessons for years and played for my enjoyment only. A few years ago my playing was interrupted by issues with glaucoma that have since been resolved. Now I’m back to playing and have joined two bands in the New Horizons Music Program offered through some universities in the U.S.
It’s very nice to be playing again and a member of my first bands: concert band and jazz band. I’m learning things not learned unless in a band very fast. Even more, I’m happy to be a part of this forum and I look forward to participating.

Looking forward to coming out to hear you at one of your performances.
FYI, the Eddie Brookshire Big Band celebration of women in jazz is on March 31, starts at 7:30, at the University of Dayton Kennedy Union Boll Theater.

Welcome in the Club!

@barliman2001 Thank you!

Welcome! Glad to know you're getting back into playing again.

@J-Jericho Thanks! I missed playing a lot and it’s great to be back. Now I just need to regain my embouchure and playing stamina.

Welcome! Our local concert band sponsors a New Horizons program, and a few folks have already “graduated” to the concert band. Glad to hear you’re playing again and hope you have fun with it.

@Dale-Proctor Thanks very much! Although my tenure with the NHMP is relatively brief, the value of the program is very clear!
