| Who
are the Trumpets?
By: Kyle Apple
Blackhawk Brigade Junior Trumpet
Trumpets are often said to be the most
egotistical section of any band, but of course that does
not hold true here at Springs Valley. The fact is that we
are just the best section in the band.
All jokes aside, this year’s trumpet
section is loaded with talent. Said by some to be the best
trumpet line Springs Valley has seen in years, it is made
up of seven hard-working and intelligent people.
This year’s junior trumpet players
are Kyle Apple and Zeke Harger. They are in the midst of
their third and fourth years marching (respectively) and
are the current section leaders. They work hard each practice
to ensure that everyone else is performing at the highest
level possible.
Derek Galloway is the sole sophomore trumpet.
This is his fifth year as a marching member, making him
the most experienced member of the trumpet line. He has
a hard-working attitude and talent to match, and is regarded
as one of the band’s top individual marchers.
Freshman trumpet players include Amanda
Emmons (in her third year) and Kylyn Dixon (in her second
year). They are both excellent players and can be relied
upon to perform at a consistently high level. They work
hard in practice, and it shows on the field with constant
improvement week-to-week at competitions.
Rounding out the trumpet section are seventh-graders
Ben Downing and Brandon Deel. As the only “rookie”
marchers in the trumpet line this year, they naturally started
a bit behind the more experienced members. Now, though,
they sound and look good enough to make one think that they
have been marching for many years.
