Both my parents played in a marching band when I was born. My father was chairman of the board and as a gift he got free membership for me. Although I got this gift my parents always gave me the choice to start playing something. When I was 7 I said I wanted to try trumpet. And so the story began.

Now, 18 years later, I played trumpet almost all this time. I made a wrong turn trying tuba, but after a short while (3 months) I decided it wasn't for me. Also played Eb horn for about 2 years when I was 12. It was a nice instrument, but then I was asked to fill in for a trumpeter and got hooked again. Haven't done anything else since. My parents bought me my own trumpet when I was 16 or 17 years old. That was probably the best gift I ever recieved from them, as I still play it today. I went through so much with that horn I will probably play it till I die.

Well, that's my story :)
