I would hide my income from the IRS.....oh wait, another trumpeter already tried that....

Donate, pay off my debt, set up my friends/family, buy some trumpets, guns and some more trumpets and guns.

In this order:
1. Hire THE best financial advisor I can find.
2. Hire THE best lawyer I could find.
3. Pay off all bills.
4. Buy a new house, large enough for each kid to have his/her own room, with practice facilities for the whole family (we all play something).
5. Invest in 4 long term accounts for our children.
6. Share some with immediate family.
7. Get on the phone to Dave Monette and Leigh McKinney and order a full set of horns from each of them.

Call me the eternal pessimist, but as an educator I would not go to work. You alone w/students? 1 on 1 in an office giving a lesson? You teach members of the opposite gender?

I would take the first million or so and set myself up for my old age. I would then set my daughter up for life. I'd put a couple million in a fund for my wife.

Then I'd build a new school in my community. They are raising money for that now.

I'd pay off all debt of my church.

I'd pay off all the debt of all my family members.

I'd set-up a trust at the school shere I teach for the music department making certain we have great equipment and also a complete staff of teachers. We already have a nice building so we are well on the way to a great program.

to be continued later...

Clarence - that sounds an awesome idea

There would most definitely be a Clarence-esque party (I want to meet alll of you, especially those I haven't met before) - not just the players though - I would want everyone there - makers, players, performers, teachers and especially students.

If money was no object anymore, I would take music go the masses. I come across a vast number of students who have never heard live music. Introducing them to the amazing talent that is represented here on TM would be an amazing experience.
I would also like to get them playing. One of the worst parts of my teaching life is when you see potential in students and they are unable to realise that potential because of personal financial issues. If they could have free lessons and a free decent instrument (as opposed to the trumpet shaped objects that many of them acquire) then I know that they could do something special with their lives.

There would be all the personal stuff as well, but it would be nice to put a bunch of it into the community and bring quality brass music and teaching to those that can't afford it.

Quit my day job and dedicate my time to building the finest trumpets available anywhere. I would hire and colaborate with the greatest trumpet designers in the world to produce:

• Hand made, custom models with absolutely no construction limitations other than the laws of physics.
• Assembly line 'pro' models made with the latest in automated manufacturing so as to ensure extremely low defect rates and keep them affordable (well under $2000)
• Assembly line 'student' models made to highest standards possible while keeping the target price at $500

I would be happy to make a handful of trumpet building 'gurus' very wealthy. Why not, they are more important (to me at least) than any pro athelete.

Then, I would enjoy watching the 'cheapo Asian junk' companies and 'overblown American mega-companies' go under trying to compete with the millions I would put into research, development and advertising.

Oh, and throw a monster party once a year for my TM buddies in Hawaii!
