Thank you so much for the incredible resources you provided for the brass community and congratulations on your newborn! If you ever return, I would love to see more arrangements for the wide variety of instruments you own (loved your soprano trombone contrabass trombone duet haha). Sad to see you go, but wishing you all the best on your next chapter!

Hey I know this is off topic but im a tromboneist I love your stuff btw do you have any tips to making content on youtube with trombone?

ive been a longtime fan of trent hamilton and i was watching Trent when you started your youtube channel and ive been a longtime fan of both trombonetimo and Trent Hamilton. But anyways congratulations on your child, i'm honestly really sad that your leaving. but i have an idea, what if you were to like post once or twice maybe every year or half a year to keep us updated on how you're doing and maybe post a video every once if you get any cool instruments or anything.
