Trumpeters perform in EPCOT's 'Candlelight Processional'

Trumpeters were involved in over 50 performances of the 2002 holiday season's Candlelight Processional at EPCOT in Orlando, Florida, as members of the Walt Disney World Orchestra and as fanfare trumpets.

A member of the public writing on a fan site comments, "The six trumpeters quietly appearing at the side 'stained glass windows' towards the end of the program was a great touch and they sounded magnificent."
