Guy Kammerer
Trumpet

 

  Guy Kammerer has been in love with the big band sound since he was a boy and got to hear some of the great bands of the time. Maynard, Buddy, Stan and the Count were all still swinging (or rocking) and going strong.  Later , he really got excited by Bill Chase, Chicago, Blood Sweat and Tears and many other artists.

  Originally from McHenry, Illinois he is currently Director of Bands at Waukesha South High School in Waukesha, Wisconsin.  Previous to this new appointment he was Director of Bands at Whitnall High School in Greenfield, Wisconsin for three years.  Before that he taught for thirteen years at Marion High School in Southern Illinois where his ensembles earned consistent recognition as being among the finest musical groups in the State of Illinois.
  Guy earned his Bachelor of Music Education and Master of Music in Trumpet Performance at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale.  There he studied with Dr. Robert Allison.   He is past President of the Illinois Music Educators Association District VI and served on the IMEA State Board of Directors for three years.  He also served as District VI Jazz Chairman for five years and has been involved in a variety of committees dealing with music education issues and activities.
  He is in demand as a frequent adjudicator of marching band, concert band and jazz band events.  He has extensive experience conducting clinics and workshops at Marching Band Camps, Jazz Festivals and at Summer Concert Band Camps.  He has guest conducted at Concert and Jazz Band Festivals at Murray State University in Murray, Kentucky, Southern Illinois University in Carbondale and in Edwardsville, Illinois.  He has appeared as featured soloist at high school and college jazz festivals and is former principal trumpet with the highly regarded Knightwind Ensemble in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
  He has been active as a professional performer as band leader and lead trumpet of the GK Orchestra, Heartland Big Band, The Heartland Swing Band, and a variety of small groups and ensembles that performed regularly throughout the Southern Illinois area.  His performance credits include appearances with notables such as Donald O’Connor, Mickey Rooney, Ray Sullinger, Don Glasser, Debbie Reynolds, Ron Carter, Mark Colby, Roseanne Vitro, Dick Contino, The Four Aces, Jamie Aebersold, Gene Stiman and Buddy Rogers.
