Does Anyone Have Some Valve Oil?

written by Bruce Chidester on January 8, 2017

Hold on to your spit valve campers! You choose the tempo and the circus will do the rest. I had the great honor of performing this march under the direction of Merle Evens many years ago when the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus came to Dallas, Texas for a week.

New Flow Studies Material- Part I

written by Bruce Chidester on July 21, 2016

To older trumpet players the title Flow Studies brings up fond memories of one of the great trumpet players of our time.
