First Trumpet
I was excited about the coming senior year. I did my dues in high school band. I was first a freshman trumpet player who thought he was hot shit but compared to the older students I was simply shitty and over the next three years I greatly improved so that I was indeed hot shit. Nathan would graduate this year so next school year I would take over first chair trumpet. Oh, there would be tryouts to compete for first chair but I was the best. The younger players were where I was a few years ago....
