Congrats to Brad! Well done! He was originally appointed 3rd/high horn in 2007 and at this movement he has been acting principal since 2020 when previous principal Joseph Anderer retired. He and Erik Ralske are making now a great principal couple!
What Horn do you use?
He plays a horn made by Jacob Medlin.
