This is what a real trumpet player sounds like. This is Wayne Burgeron playing with The River City Big Band. I went to see them on Saturday. It was depressing - they make it look so easy. But it sure isn't. Even Mr. Missal thought that he should hang up his trumpet after hearing Wayne Burgeron play. Mr. Burgeron has played on lots of different albums and for movies.

The struggle is real. The whole weekend went by and I didn't play once. Life sometimes gets in the way of learning something new. There were too many other responsibilities.

Play on Monday and Wednesday and possibly Friday at school for 1/2 hour. 2. Get some coaching to make sure that I am doing it right. 3. Learn at least 3 notes by the end of next Friday.
