Between my two degrees, by the time I left Rochester I had spent exactly a quarter of my life on Gibbs Street. I learned so many lessons on how to balance life, work, and musical progress, as well as gained endless inspiration from my teachers and my peers. I fully credit Eastman with molding me into the artist I am today. I\u2019m also thankful for the intensity of the workload Eastman regularly exposed me too; balancing practice, homework, part time jobs, and time with friends was great practice for balancing adult life in the professional world.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; box_shadow_on_row=&#8221;no&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<strong>How did you come to join the United States Army Field Band?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During my master\u2019s program at Eastman, I was very fortunate to land my position with the United States Army Field Band. By the time I won my spot, I\u2019d already taken around 10 auditions for professional ensembles over two years; I was so close to being burned out and temporarily calling it quits. The Field Band audition took place in January, and the next thing I knew life changed dramatically; I found myself preparing for a degree recital, final exams, graduation, and basic combat training! The rest of the semester was a blur filled with nostalgic moments with faculty and peers, as well as plenty of timed runs and endless pushups and pull-ups. At the end of it all, I essentially walked across the graduation stage and right on to a plane to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. I think I was so busy leading up to shipping out that I didn\u2019t even have time to be nervous! After my three-month stint in Missouri, I got on a plane to the Baltimore-DC area and immediately got back to work making music. I only had about a month to relearn how to play the bassoon well enough to embark on a five weeklong concert tour; it was all a bit intense.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the most rewarding part about your position? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The mission of the United States Army Field Band is to connect America to its army, and our mode of doing that is through nationwide concert tours. The Field Band travels for about 100 days a year, through so many diverse communities: from bustling cities to tiny one-stoplight towns. When we get to perform in a nice hall in a larger city, that\u2019s all well and great, but what I really love is when we play in some small backwoods community in a random high school gym. I grew up in a less privileged area of South Carolina, and there were very few opportunities to experience live symphonic music at such a high level.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; box_shadow_on_row=&#8221;no&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;]<blockquote class='blockquote_shortcode with_quote_icon with_background' style='width: 500px%;border-left-width: 10px; background-color: #f4f4f4;'><span style=\"color: #15234a;font-size: 32px; line-height: 32px;\" class=\"icon_quotations_holder\"><i class=\"mkd_icon_font_awesome fa fa-quote-left \" ><\/i><\/span><h6 class='blockquote_text' style=\"color: #15234a;\"><span>Every time we play one of these small shows, I feel like I\u2019m playing for my younger self; proving to any kids in the audience who love music that this kind of profession isn\u2019t beyond their reach.

The first one is very recent, with our 4th of July concert in New York City. The Field Band was asked by Macy\u2019s to perform for the big fireworks show along the East River; the camera crews, celebrities, and crowds of people made for a very memorable and fun night with my colleagues and was overall just a super cool gig. My second favorite memory comes from a smaller show we played just before the pandemic canceled our Spring 2020 tour. The band was performing in Richmond, Indiana, and a large portion of my extended family that lived in the area was able to attend the concert. We performed a transcription of Stravinsky\u2019s <em>Firebird Suite<\/em> that night, and when I performed the bassoon solo, the entire back half of the audience erupted into applause from my family. It was the first time any of them had gotten to hear me play live since I was a high schooler, and they were all so excited! The memory still makes me smile.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are you looking forward to next?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Field Band has some great new projects coming up soon. Aside from plans to get back on the road for official tours again (southwestern friends, be on the lookout for Spring 2022), we have several smaller projects in the works to round out 2021. I\u2019ll revisit one of my favorite parts of New York State when we go on a small run-out to perform at the Chautauqua Institution, and I\u2019ll get to finally experience Chicago for the first time when we travel there in December to perform for clinicians at the Midwest Clinic.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Randy Fultz \u201917E, \u201919E (MM) was preparing to graduate from his master\u2019s program at Eastman, he did not expect to be in basic combat training whilst studying for exams.
