Trumpet Player needed for one off gig! Classical style...

    Hi,

    For my end of year college Graduation Show, I need a trumpet player as my original trumpet player has pulled out for personal reasons.
    As such, I have need for a trumpet player to partake in a score which consists of a string trio, the trumpet player, a snare drum player and an electronic instrument player. The style of the piece is modern classical (i.e., film-music-ey).

    A score and a MIDI mock up of the piece will be provided to the player as soon as someone is on board. The player will also be needed for two 30 minute rehearsals within Trinity college over the coming weeks. I have no exact details as to when, but when I know myself I will let you know asap. It should be evening sometime if work is an issue.

    As a player you will get the chance to take part in something a bit different from the normal "ska-madness" genre that a lot of trumpet players seem to find themselves in in the mainstream music market. (Well, you hardly see trumpet players with death metal bands, now do ye?! ;) )
    Additionally, it will be a great opportunity to network yourself with other likeminded musicians and composers with possible future workings being provided. The show will "compose" of a class of composers (ba dum tchi......sorry!) so getting yourself known might mean more work in future!

    As for payment......well, currently I am a student myself with loans out my ears so I'm not exactly loaded or anything, but I will see if I can scrape a few quid myself for you for the rehearsals and the show, though I will warn you now, IF I can get the fund together, it wont be much (definitely < €100).

    So to cut the fat heres the above streamlined again to recap:

    Needed: Trumpet player.
    - Trumpet score is for Trumpet in Bb, but if you have a different trumpet type and can transpose then it should be fine. I might be able to reprint the score for your needs also to make it easier for you.

    When: Concert is on Saturday May 1st
    - I think....will 2x check and get back asap, and 2x 30 minute rehearsals the week before. Again, will let you know exactly when.

    Where: Trinity College Dublin. Concert in on in the Beckett Theater, and the rehearsal will take place in a room very close by. Tons of transport to the college.

    Why: Great Networking opportunity, chance to meet similarly minded players and composers. Chance to do/play something new!

    Money + Other: Hopefully will be able to throw you a few quid, but it wont be much. I am a student myself with a lotta loans, so look above for real incentive! Also, you wont need to wear anything specific for the performance so no additional cost of tux rental or any such s***e!


    I will proceed to head into DIT and the Academy tomorrow to see about sourcing someone, but I figured I might as well give the oul boards.ie a college try!
    Thanks for reading!
