Our musician of the at-least-a-week-or-until-we-get-around-to-changing-it is Mr. Mike Copeland.
Mike shares lead trumpet duties with Conrad Wilson, his band room with Stardust, and his thoughts with anyone who will listen. An avid hunter who favors a Uranus Hug & Kiss, Mike has been known to stun a deer with a Super C. He is a prolific contest judge, and has also been known to be jury and even executioner. Mr. C also participates yearly in a reenactment of World War III where he usually joins forces with Lord Vader in Das Buzzard--red, purple and yellow blood everywhere.
We congratulate you Mike, on this ignominious award.

From the traditional swing of Count Basie to the modern stylings of today's concert masters, the Stardust Big Band has an extraordinary repertoire that will thrill any big band fan. Come see and hear for yourself.


The Stardust Music List gives you the names of all of the musical numbers that you would care to listen to. Just write the names of one of these pieces on the back of a $20 bill and hand it to a trombonist.

The Stardust Pics Page has other pictures of the boys & girl in the band. Check out these dashing but coyly contemplative artists.
