Flag of Stars — Air National Guard Bands of California
Arguably the high-water mark of my musical career. As a trumpet player in the 562nd Air Force Band / Air National Guard Band of the Southwest for 20+ years, we recorded this album around 2010. A few highlights:
Eagle Squadron
Mostly 2nd cornet/trumpet on the album; 1st on this march — including the high C at about 1:13.
Norman Rockwell Suite
Movement timings are on the YouTube description/chapters.
Huckleberry Finn Suite
Trumpet soloist: Jerry Lockwood
Flag of Stars
Particularly challenging; soloist Jerry Lockwood again.
A chip off the ol’ block
Back in Time — soloist Kevin Larochelle
My youngest son on flugelhorn with the Del Norte High School Jazz Band, Poway Jazz Festival, 4/27/24. Proud papa.
