> VA-HIST’s resident music historian, Randy Cabell (aka the Trumpeter of

> changes, musical interludes and examples, quotations from a wide variety
> of historical documents, and humorous asides not soon to be forgotten.

> Following his presentation, Randy was joined by Kevin Carter,
> president-elect of the Rotary Club of Warrenton, who jointly presented an
> autographed copy of his march composition, The Trumpeter of Jamestowne, to
> Andrew Paul, the director of the Fauquier High School Band. Mr. Paul also
