Its been along time that I havent played the trumpet. Right knw i play in a band. My cousin formed a band. We have two guitarist, one bassist, and one drummer. Me and my cousin play guitar and the other two guys play the other isnstruments, th drum and the bass. Right now we are a just a garage band. Have no where play, and get kicked out of every place we practice at. We are hoping that we become famouse one of those days. We play pretty good. We just need to show that to every oneelse.
