- APB National Anthem - close to gone as the trumpet players have really been lacking the last few years

Not sure how many games you attended in person, but last year's trumpet soloist was outstanding.

I think the OP was referring to a major blunder in the playing of the National Anthem before last Saturday’s game. I heard it, too.  

That said, the soloist from the 2016-2017 era is an incredibly nice and generous dude that mentored my son over the course of six months last year for his 8th grade project on the physics of roller coasters. I don’t remember his trumpet playing, as it is not something that I track very closely before big games. But in general, I am now inclined to support all lead trumpet players from the band, just by association.
