Kurt Thomson

Kurt Thompson started playing trumpet officially in 5th grade. However, by the end of 6th grade, he was last chair and the worst trumpet player in the band. Kurt enjoyed school sports more at that time. During the summer between 6th and 7th grade, Kurt got with a private instructor for the first time and his talent at trumpet became obvious when he actually made an effort. Kurt started 7th grade and by the Christmas concert was 1st chair. Kurt was first chair in almost every band from that point on. Kurt auditioned and made 1st chair and/or solo trumpet at Tennessee All-State Band. Kurt received a full music scholarship to Austin Peay State University where he became 1st chair in every music organization there
