In early July, I performed my one-hour trumpet show, “I Stand for the Flag,” at five different retirement communities in the Greater Seattle area. Naturally, they clustered around Independence Day, the Fourth of July. In order, they were:
- Merrill Gardens at the University, Seattle (1 July)
- Aljoya, Mercer Island (2 July)
- Fairwinds Brighton Court, Lynnwood (4 July)
- Emerald Heights, Redmond (7 July)
- Merrill Gardens at Burien (9 July)
This show consists of 25 patriotic marches, songs, and bugle calls. I wore my VFW Post 1040 uniform and played three instruments (my Getzen Eterna Severinsen trumpet, Super Olds cornet, and Jupiter pocket trumpet) and used three mouthpieces (Yamaha Vizutti, Bach 8C, and Denis Wick 4).
