Message from Mr. Baptist:

“I love speaking to the younger musicians and letting them know that a career in music is the greatest of all God’s gifts. My dream since I was 10 years old was to play my trumpet and encourage other trumpet players to strive to be the best all around player they can be.  Playing Schilke will help assist in that dream as it did for me.  Please remember to to always Live, Laugh and Love!”
