From left: Jim Caneen, principal (Miraphone 186), Adam Peck (Rudy Meinl, only CC in the section), Chuck Niedhardt (Miraphone 1291), Mark Kerestes (King 1241), Conrad Mailleue (Cerveny CBB-681, also played String Bass on some pieces), John Rapp (Jupiter 584) and me (Alexander, of course).

And @bloke - that's one of the new Blokebergs in the Alex. First concert I've played with a Blokeberg. I really like these mouthpieces.

Photo credit- Donna Caneen. The stage lights had a lot of red in them for some reason, so we did the best we could.
