Welcome to TrumpetBoards!

Never late for a good party!

I'd like to give credit to LaTrompeta for introducing TrumpetBoards on anoTHer website. I didn't see it until just now.
-
I'm here
-
I'm here...arthritis and all...

I was hoping it wouldn't be gone long enough that I'd need to worry, but I've joined here just in case TM never comes back! (hopefully it won't end the way of the Trombone Forum...) Like J. Jericho, I saw this via LaTrompeta's post on TH!
Hope I enjoy it here! I'll be on here some, at least, considering I'm a college student and have classes and practice and such. -
What is this "practice" you speak of?
-
Okay, I'm in.

Great to see we have most of our moderators from TM here... and rumor has it that Rowuk is circulating the site and laying low (as if Rowuk could actually fly under the radar so to speak) as he decides whether or not to add to the cause.

I've been digging this new board lately - some really good stuff on here, and it's cool to see the same screen names and avatars. I don't know who created this board in light of TM's demise, but I see this as sort of the new and improved TM. Let's hope that it becomes a place that newcomers to the world of the online trumpet forum can find and easily learn to navigate.

Agreed Patrick and somehow we have to convince our friend TrumpetMD to join. I have tried but he has yet taken the bait. Maybe if you too do a little nudging!

@trickg I really enjoy what I see going on here as well. I was not a heavy participant in TM but I was a regular at TH and recognize many from both. Either way, this board is a breath of fresh air from my point of view. Looking forward to a long, happy association!

I finally took the plunge and joined up. It's going to take some getting used to, but so far so good. Looking forward to what is to come!

Welcome Matt! I've enjoyed your point of view often on TH!
Mike
Thank you, Mike! I've literally grown up on TH -- I was just in high school when I started posting, through college, and now getting close to wrapping up my 13th year as a middle & high school band director. I hope I can make a positive contribution here as well!

Matt, you will make positive contributions for sure. I worked with a middle school band director for 8 years as an assistant volunteer through the middle schools "mentor-ship program". I would come in early morning to assist the band director and run sectionals two days a week before I would drive off to work to start may regular day gig. What an amazing impact that band director had on those young minds, not only musically but taught them a world etiquette (from the perspective of music performance) that they will take with them into the rest of their years. I personally missed doing this for the past 5 years when I moved out of that school district.
Of interest, I was at a big band concert last week and a woman come up to me out of the audience, gushing with praise for me for helping teach her son on trumpet when he was in middle school with that school system. She then told me he is now in college getting an arts degree and how much of an inspiration I had been to him. So yes Matt, you are making positive contributions and making a difference in young people's lives!

Glad to see a lot of familiar names. Thanks to Tobylou8 for posting the link on the oTHer site.
