Wind Band Excerpts for Trumpet and Cornet

Anthony Kirkland

A member of The United States Air Force Band's Ceremonial Brass in Washington, D.C. for 20 years, Dr. Kirkland brings a lifetime's extensive experience to the discussion of trumpet and cornet in wind ensemble performance and audition. Given all of the attention on trumpet orchestral auditions, Kirkland considers the band and wind ensemble literature of equal importance to the instrument. He brings a wealth of knowledge and insight to bear in discussing each of more than 25 important excerpts, those most likely to be requested in the audition process. Each excerpt is preceded by background information and performance tips. Kirkland even thoughtfully provides information on the audition process for military bands, along with contact information for a number of military bands and some of the most important bands in the world. For performers considering a move to the world of wind band performance, Kirkland's offering is indispensible.
