What They Said


"WOW! What a concert! We had our largest crowd ever (over 625!) for our longest concert ever (nearly two hours), and the unanimous reaction of the band members AND the audience was that this was our BEST concert ever!

"Virtuoso Scott Shelsta played marvelously, and left hundreds of mouths hanging open at his wonderful sound and at the amazing things he could do on his trombone. ...

"If you want to hear more about this concert, just talk to anyone who was there!"

"Scott Shelsta is a superb musician who is able to perform the most difficult solos with ease. He thrills an audience with his blazing technique and possesses an affable demeanor which endears him to his listeners. It is a joy and a pleasure to conduct him in concert. He truly ranks among the finest soloists of our time."

— Colonel Arnald D. Gabriel, USAF (Ret)

"You have developed a great niche to showcase your tremendous talents, and more people who appreciate great trombone playing should have the opportunity to witness your artistry."

— Colonel Verne Campbell, USA (Ret)
