The very same  big band sound that filled America's dance and concert halls over a half century ago is alive and swingin' right here baby!
             

 

Sal D'Acquisto - Trumpet

Sal is of Sicilian descent and is reluctant to say much about himself, engendering caution in us as well.  It is difficult to get a picture of him, especially with his children, as you can see from the picture above, taken with a very long lens at the hidden family compound on the Tahoe shores. 

Although 'running' was something the family didn't enjoy or want to do as a daily regimen, it turns out to have had some beneficial effects on Sal's son Domenic, who has turned into one of the state's finest young high school distance runners.  

We know that Sal teaches for Parsons Junior High School and turns out excellent musicians from his program there. Sal sets a high example for his students as the lead trumpet for our group.
