THE CADETS ARE STILL LOOKING FOR MELLOPHONES AND CONTRA PLAYERS TO CONTRACT!!!
If you are at all interested, contact hopkins@yea.org or go to http://cadets.org. They are looking for anyone who can immediately jump right in to it. You will already be behind, but if you are dedicated enough, you can do it. Also ask about an 18% tuition discount (only if you need it).
They are looking for people who have either high level marching band experience or drum corps experience. Preferably in college (you don’t have to be a music major). They invite trumpet players to try out mellophone because a good trumpet player can easily switch over and be a good mellophone player.
Good luck! :)
A Beautiful Car Funeral…
A few years back, I had been out at dinner with musician friends and left a little early to get to a party. As I was driving through an intersection in my tiny little art car, a big SUV plowed into the drivers side front fender. My car was totaled.
As I was waiting with the police for a tow truck to get my poor car, my friends drove by, having just left from dinner. They saw my car and the group of people who had gathered around to watch and pulled over. One of my friends was a trumpet player who happened to have his trumpet in the trunk of his car… So as I watched my car being pulled up onto the tow truck, my friend played “Taps” for it. Definitely one of the best moments of my life.
