Jacob Flint! Sure are proud of you son!
The ASU Trumpet Ensemble, under the guidance of Dr. John Irish, has been selected to compete in the semi-final round at the 48th Annual International Trumpet Guild (ITG) Conference to be held in Anaheim, California, May 28-June 1, 2024. The ITG has sponsored the Ryan Anthony Memorial Trumpet Competition at their annual conference for many years in Solo, Jazz, Ensemble, and Youth categories. Students from around the world submitted recordings in hopes of being selected to compete. The ASU Trumpet Ensemble submitted a recording in the Ensemble category and was selected among students from the top music schools and conservatoires across the United States. Also selected to compete are students from national academies of Denmark, China, S. Korea, France, Germany, Estonia, Portugal, Singapore, Croatia, Canada, and Taiwan.
The ITG is an organization dedicated to promoting communications among trumpet players around the world and improving the artistic level of performance, teaching and literature associated with the trumpet. It is comprised of over 3,500 members in 56 countries.
The long hours of practice, diligent, innumerable rehearsals, and commitment to achieve this goal is now a reality. Congratulations to the ASU Trumpets who will be representing Angelo State on the international stage!
