I'm gonna Bump it with a Trumpet!

After nine long years of collecting dust in the corner, I finally took my beautiful Yamaha trumpet to St. John's Music to get it "tuned up". My husband bought me this trumpet years ago when I wanted to get back into playing the trumpet. I had played in high school but stopped playing once I went to university.

So I started taking lessons again when I was pregnant with my second daughter. This went along fine until my obstetrician said I needed to stop playing until after I had the baby!

Needless to say once I had a baby and a toddler I didn't do much trumpet playing!

Now the trumpet is all cleaned and polished and ready to go! So what do I play first? The opening strains of the GYPSY overture? The sassy horn section in "It's All About the Green" from THE WEDDING SINGER? Maybe I'll be in a John Doyle "sing/play" production of a Stephen Sondheim musical, like COMPANY or SWEENEY TODD...

Or maybe I'll just see if I can play an F scale. Now there's a gimmick!
