Talent runs deep in DK Feltham’s many bands. Can anyone tell me if John Hoffman is the internationally renowned trumpeter or is this just a coincidence?

Just what’s on the site. There’s a couple of recordings of the fan for trumpets on the various albums that are stored in there. Go to the front page, and use the search bar for the word fanfare. You’ll probably find something pop up that way.

Enjoy the day!

I have great memories playing the fanfares with you, Jeff and many others (’72-’75). That was a special group. Sorry I missed the Queen

The group of now eleven played “Fanfare for Heroes” to open the show. Those same eleven are pictured on the back of the album “Old Comrades” and they play that fanfare. The eleven from left to right in the picture are John Hoffman, Jake Conrad, Chris Burton, Dave Detwiler, Bill Hoyer, Jim May, Craig Randall, Bill Daggett, Bob Scannapieco, Ben Hackman, and Dave Llewellyn. Some fine musicians in that group.
