Trumpet 2009

Although a slow movement is nice as a breather, I don't think that a show would need one. However, it shows the judges that you are capable of playing softly, and adds contrast between fast and slow. It also depends on the show: if you have an empire theme such as The Rise and Fall of Rome, a slow movement might show how the empire, once established, is a beautiful and peaceful machine of bureaucracy.

Hello, I'm a decent trumpet player. I really feel like I'm not that good when my section leader plays his high notes though. Just lookin' for more trumpet players though.

Georgetown is going to dominate. This years show, Rome, is amazing. Even though we've changed it a few times, the freshman have kept up and are doing really well.
