Cotter sophomore, Gabe Welch, is not satisfied with only being an All-State Tuba player.

Welch recently took up learning the slide trombone, and plays the 3rd trombone part with the Cotter Jazz Band.

Learning the trombone took “lots of practice”, but Welch “wanted more of a challenge”.

If you would like to hear Welch play, he will be playing at the Cotter Pops Concert on Thursday, playing trombone for the Jazz Band, and tuba with the Concert Band.
