Trombones Sliding their way back to the Dome
By: Tommy Lynch
Blackhawk Brigade Sophomore Trombone
The Springs Valley trombone section is
four members strong this year. This four-man group consists
of sophomore Tommy Lynch, freshman Ethan “Farva”
Emmons, eighth grader Landon Price, and rookie seventh grader
Chris Garrison. These guys have carried their load throughout
the year and are on their way to back to state finals.
Lynch is in his fourth year as a trombone.
His leadership has helped put the younger guys on the right
track. He is one of three opening soloists during the Brigade’s
beginning tune of their “Generations” show.
Farva, as we have all come to know him,
is in his third year with the Brigade. He has stepped up
this season and became a key leader in the group. Not only
has he helped lead the younger guys, but he has also improved
his appearance on the field. His sound has improved 100%
as well. Farva will be a key member of the Brigade in the
years to come.
Price is marching his second season with
the bones, coming off his rookie year appearance at the
RCA Dome last year. This young man has an amazing sound
that comes from his trombone, not to mention the fact that
he can march over a brick wall as well. The trombone section
wouldn’t be where they are now without Price on their
side.
This year’s rookie trombone player
is seventh grader Chris Garrison. It didn’t take him
long to figure out how to be one of the top marchers of
his class. On most occasions, Mr. Aylsworth and the band
forget that this is only his first year marching. He has
been a quick learner in all aspects of marching band, and
we expect him to only get better as the years go on.
The trombones have been working hard all
year, from that first day of band camp in the 100 degree
weather all the way up to the gold division they proudly
earned in Terre Haute last Saturday. They hope to have the
support of the whole town to follow them up to the RCA Dome
this Saturday. They would love to hear the chant of “Hawks”
as they take the field at 6:07 for domination.
