I received an email message with input related to the National Symphony Orchestra list. While the NSO did not have documentation for the 1931-1932 season, I have simply shown this listing for the1st NSO season:

1931-1932_________Probably Charles Yukl (No information available from NSO)

With this attached email message I am going to amend the list to show Charles Yukl as the Principal trumpet for the 1931-1932 season as well.

bugleboi,

I remember reading on TH that Tom Cupples won the position of 2nd trumpet with the National Symphony. I am assuming that he will begin with the orchestra for the 2005-2006 season and I will update the list at that time. I will leave the 2004-2005 season as it is since this is the way that the NSO has it on their web site.

Thanks.
