Note to perform live-streamed concert at Nat'l Trumpet Competition

  • Published

Washington, D.C> --  On Friday, March 20, the Airmen of Note heads up to Messiah College in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, to perform at the National Trumpet Competition. This year marks the 23rd anniversary of the competition and, as in previous years, there is a blockbuster lineup of outstanding artists set to perform. For this year's event, the Note is excited to be sharing the stage with trumpet great, Scott Wendholt.

Wendholt is widely recognized for his gifted improvisatory skills in a multitude of large and small ensemble settings. He is featured member of The Vanguard Orchestra (formerly, the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Band), so he'll be right at home in front of our big band. We are looking forward to a great music set that will showcase many of the Note's great soloists along with a bevy of new charts for the occasion. And, just in case you can't make it to the show, you can check us out on a live stream available at: http://nationaltrumpetcompetition.org/live
