I've heard her play before, definitely impressive. It's a shame she has to waste all that talent on the trumpet, and didn't become a tuba player (kidding!).

As a side note, when groups go out of their way to make a big deal out of the fact that they are all-female (which I'm not saying this group does), I think it does more to hurt their cause than help it. Not to mention, if a group wants to preach fairness and call out their all-female-ness, then they should also be fully accepting of a group that specifically is (and promotes itself) as all-male.

Do you have an example of an all-female group that does not accept a group that specifically promotes itself as an all-male group?
