Question: What is the definition of a professional trumpeter!?
The story of my trumpet playing career (minus school 6th-10th grade band class, jazz band, and other school associated bands) :

I was in a North Carolina shag-styled beach music band for about 4-5 months and we were getting very, very good!. But the glue to the band quit and we fell apart!.

I recently got paid $100 to play in an orchestra

Now I'm in another band and I kinda want to tell them I'm professional!. I think the definition is you have to get paid!. Is it!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
