Quote: "“There are two sides to a Trumpet's personality. There is one side that lives only to lay waste to flutes, clarinets, oboes, bassoons, horns, trombones, tubas, saxes, and percussion, leaving them lying blue and lifeless along the swath of destruction that is a trumpets fury.  Then there is the dark side.”"
Favorite Band Memory: "Dominating the Jumbo heroes during the 2004 and 2005 seasons."
