Here we are in the midst of the Spartan Marching Band Trumpet Section on Saturday at Michigan State. The kids played their new trumpets at the MSU vs. UM game for the first time. Ed and I donated the money for the trumpets so there was a photo op after the game.
After Ed's sudden bout with pneumonia this fall and the delay of the trumpets arriving from Japan, this photo is all about the coming together of a big dream that Band Director J. T. Madden had for this Big Ten marching band. We are honored to be a part of that dream.
I will write more about the story later. For now, here are happy trumpet players with new instruments.

ReplyDeleteWow! It's great to hear from you. Our hearts were warmed, no heated, by the many trumpet players and band supporters who stopped to say thanks on Saturday. We love hearing from you and wish only the best for SMB, the best band in the land!
