The Lord loves a good trumphet player. Congratulations, I look forward to turning on the radio or tv and thinking, seems like just yesterday we were reading about Mr Snyder on NEC.COM. Would love to hear JAVA and Flight of the Bumble Bee.

Congrats, Chris. i was a Tate band member under Joyce Sidorsky, now at Pensacola State.
I was a terrible trombone player. I bought my son, Jared, a 5 dollar trumpet, then with advise from Johnny Swoboda music, Omaha, we bought a 1500 dollar trumpet. Today, Jared is a good trumpet player,plays for police/fire dept funerals and is a member of the First Baptist Church, Hammond, Indiana orchestra. He also teaches trumpet, french horn. He graduated from Hyles-Anderson baptist College and married a violinist. Elizabeth teaches violin, plays in Chicago Orchestra,and FBC, Hammond Orchestre. They have 2- CDs out.
Keep the good job going, It will serve you well in the years to come. Play GOOD music and do not get caught up in the juncky worldly muisic of today.

Chris I wish you all the luck in the world. Knowing full well it wasn’t luck that got you there. May it be yours with my prayers for your success. Hope to hear you locally someday soon.
Much admiration.
