Dean Glace – Trumpet

My father bought a used trumpet when I was 7 years old and he and I started learning the trumpet together. I played through middle and high school and college. I was a member of the orchestra, symphonic band, brass choir, brass band, 26-piece big band, and 250-piece marching band at NC State University. When the Summerville Community Orchestra came together in 2003, I was part of the original group of musicians. I enjoy playing all kinds of music and the orchestra is part of that outlet for me. I have enjoyed my 19 years so far and I am looking forward to my 20th season. I have played at different events around the Charleston area since I moved here 27 years ago and look forward to keeping up my playing. One of my hobbies is astrophotography. I have a remote telescope in Animas, New Mexico, and use it to image deep space galaxies, nebulas, and star clusters. I have been doing this for about 15 years. Recently, I traveled to New Mexico to explore the galaxy through the lens!
