I have had the picture of the trumpet as my computer wallpaper since the day you posted it.

I wonder how many of us did that? I know that I’ve been staring at an Eclipse trumpet each morning on my computer when I get to work. It’s so intriguing to me seeing the tuning slide in the back!
I know how excited you’re feeling with a boxed up horn in route to your house. I’ve been waiting for several months having repair work done on my C trumpet, and yesterday morning I got a call that my horn was finished, and it’s in a box headed to my house (it made it from Portland to Oakland yesterday!).
Looking forward to seeing pictures of you in your new Eclipse duds playing that beautiful new instrument.
Congratulations!
Leigh,
I also want to thank you for a really exciting several months. When I finished my story (I still can’t believe I wrote a short story at this point in my life), I shared it with my Sunday School class at Church (there’s a group of about 7 of us that get together each week). Then on Easter Sunday, we drove down to Tucson after several early services in Tempe and spent the rest of the day with friends and family. I read my story to everyone there (about 25 of us) and showed the pictures of my project. What an amazing feeling sharing this story with a large group. I would never have done that if it hadn’t been for this contest!
I told my boys about the announcement and they’re sad, but also excited that we may get to try again next year. I am too! My 7 year old already had the idea to build a trumpet out of fruit (we have 8 citrus trees in our backyard), so it could be another very interesting project!
Thanks again.
