Thomas, the Tolerant Trumpet Player
November 21, 2023 | | 1 Comment
Thomas Godtland is a trumpet player at the band here at Morningside University.
Gotdland used the word tolerant to describe himself because of what he has to put up with every day with his fellow trumpet players. Thomas said that the other two trumpet players are not up to standard. They are constantly off beat and missing notes, and it takes a lot to have to deal with this day in and day out.
Although he does not have anything against them personally, he wishes they were better trumpet players. Thomas said to me in our conversation, “Why are you even in college to do this”, referring to his fellow band mates.
His fellow trumpet players are both underclassmen, so he has hopes that they will improve their skills by the end of their time here at Morningside.

Having been the offbeat trumpet player
who missed notes, I would be Thomas’
nightmare. It’s likely they’re not
music majors. They’re doing it for fun.
This works, Charlie.
