Trumpet

Often loud and brash, but sometimes smooth and seductive, a Trumpet is usually the most noticeable instrument in the band. Whether trying to be the lead, or gathering alongside fellow players, a Trumpet is always the first to jump into a jam. Overconfident, easy to hear, and impressive at repeating others’ past riffs, they sometimes suffer from being unable (or otherwise unwilling) to harmonize with others.

Thinking they are *pets* of the conductor (or director, etc.), they are actually more often just pup*pets*, easily manipulated by strings.

“Wow, we were all having an intelligent political conversation until that Trumpet showed up.”

“Three Trumpets walked on the train today and basically played everyone off on the next stop.”

“Did you hear about what happened this morning?”
“Unfortunately. Just another Trumpet blasting off in a crowd.”
“Betty White.”
