Capital’s trumpet studio gave an excellent performance today at the Eastman School of Music for the International Trumpet Guild Conference, marking the halfway point of our trip! We’re learning so much, exploring new things, and making incredible memories along the way!! 💜🎺

The trumpet studio has arrived in Rochester for ITG!!! We are ready for an incredible week of trumpeting!! 🎶🎺

Going to miss having these two around! Congratulations Lydia and Patrick! Keep making music and stay in touch! 🎺 🎶 🎵

Today, our Wind Symphony and Symphonic Winds trumpet sections had incredible performances featuring works by Ticheli, Bocook, and a premier from William Trachsel!! Incredible work, everyone!! #🎶🎺

Our orchestra trumpet section had a fantastic performance of Raven Chacon’s Voiceless Mass and Gershwin’s American in Paris! Incredible solo work and section playing last evening!! 🎶🎺

Last week, the Symphonic Winds trumpet section traveled to Mason, OH to participate in the NAfME Regional Music for All Festival! It was such a privilege to perform for potential music students. Looking forward to what our next adventures will bring!! 🎶🎺

The trumpet studio is celebrating an incredible performance by our very own Dr. Lance Witty tonight!! Awesome work, Dr. Witty! 🎶🎺

The Capital University Trumpet Choir has been selected as a featured Prelude Ensemble at the International Trumpet Guild Conference at the Eastman School of Music in May 2026.

This is a great accomplishment for the ensemble and I am proud of their work! Looking forward to traveling to Rochester with them in May.

Happy Valentine’s Day from the Capital University trumpet studio! Our members participated in the band’s “For the Love of New Music” concert this afternoon! Great playing, everyone!!

It has been a busy month for the Capital University trumpets!! Our Music Ed students had the opportunity to attend OMEA PDC in Columbus to expand their teaching skills, and had a blast! In addition, the Big Band had the honor of performing at PDC. Also, the Big Band hosted another successful Big Band ball! We are extremely grateful for these opportunities and are excited to see what the Big Band gets up to in the future!
