If you don’t know who this is then you must be new to these parts. In fact, it’s almost impossible to stay out of their way, but why would you want to? My favorite accidental meeting was election night 2008, heading for my car and bumping into the manic parade. Then there was that time downstairs at Trinity Brewhouse — goodbye ear cells. At any rate, they have had a personnel turnover and are actively recruiting brass.
If you or someone you know plays trumpet, trombone or baritone, write to us at whatcheerbrigade@gmail.com.
You don’t need to show up the most perfect trumpet player, just be willing to practice and bring yourself up to speed, learn our songs, come to practice (2 nights a week during the regular season) and shows (a few a month, including tour! yes you’ll tour with us), and be excited to be part of our band.
Tons of fun and travel, great times, new skills, new experiences, amazing band mates, being part of a unique and wild group who delivers some unique and wild tunes. We are so lucky to get to do this!

I once told Paul I wanted them to play at my funeral, to which he replied “Oh yeah, we do funerals” without taking one moment to contemplate a world without me in it. The man has a cash register for a heart. Learn more about the band at What Cheer? Brigade.
