He recently completed research at the Conservatoire Superieur

Dr. Romero toured Austria, Germany and Czechoslovakia in January 2005 as a member of the

His professional career spans playing with the El Paso Symphony Orchestra and the

Dr. Romero is currently principal trumpet with the Las Cruces Symphony Orchestra,

John Harbaugh is Professor of trumpet at Central Washington University.
He has over 20 years of college teaching experience. As a jazz educator
bands under his direction have performed at the Montreux, North Sea and
Notre Dame Jazz festivals. . His trumpet students have consistently been in
the semi-final rounds of the National Trumpet Competition in both the
undergraduate and graduate divisions. In 2002 his trumpet ensemble placed
third at that event. In 2004 the CWU trumpet ensemble was invited to
perform at the International Trumpet Guild Convention in Denver. His
professional experience includes touring with Tom Jones, Paul Anka, and
Buddy Rich. He appears on three Grammy-nominated albums, and has
recorded as a jazz soloist with the London Symphony. He was featured jazz soloist at the 2004
Western International Band Clinic and again in 2005 as both a clinician and soloist. He is

Washington, and Alaska. He is currently a board member of the National Trumpet Competition
and continues to work as a soloist/clinician for C.G. Conn/Selmer Corporation and has appeared in
the U.S. Canada, and Taiwan.
Sergeant First Class Gil Hoffer plays the trumpet in The United States
Army Concert Band (Pershing’s own). Gil began playing the trumpet at
the age of nine, under the tutelage of his stepfather, Bob Day, a 33-year
veteran of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. In 1981, he went on to
study music at Indiana University, where he completed a bachelor’s degree.
In the fall of 1986, Gil joined the army and left in 1989 and returned to
Indiana University for further study. He completed a master’s degree in
1992, and began working toward a doctorate degree in brass pedagogy. In
1994, he returned to active duty as a member of the Army Ground Forces
Band in Atlanta and in 1998, he won a spot in Pershing’s Own as a member
of the Ceremonial Band, and the following year he won his current position in the Concert Band.
He is a regularly featured soloist on the band’s summer Capitol Concert Series, and
was a featured soloist with The Army Blues at the 2004 Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic in
Chicago. He is also active as a freelance musician in the Washington DC metropolitan area, and
plays principal trumpet in the Maryland Philharmonic Orchestra.
Through the years, Gil has studied trumpet playing and been influenced by many great
players and teachers. Included among them are Bill Adam, Charles Gorham, Bernard Adelstein,
John Rommel, Edmund Cord, John Harbaugh, James Thompson, and Steve Hendrickson. He
continues to benefit from those experiences daily in practice and performance, and is forever
grateful to those who have freely shared with him their knowledge and shown him patience along
the way.
