Cornet Band Personnel

  • Mike Shultz - Director/Trumpet

  • Matt Buckner - Trumpet

    Matt studied music at Marshall University during the mid 90's.  He performed with most of the ensembles they had to offer.

    After college he took a long break from the trumpet. In 2016 he picked the trumpet back up with the Hood College Symphonic Band.  Since then he has played with the Hood College Jazz Band,  Sunday Night Big Band,  Swinging Harmony Jazz Band and the Harmony Cornet Band.

    When not playing trumpet you can find him  mountain biking the rad trails in the Frederick Watershed.

  • Lynn Mitchell - Trombone

    Lynn has been playing trombone since the 5th grade. He was a business major at Madison College (now called JMU) and was an inaugural member of the Marching Royal Dukes, established in 1972. For the next 35 years he only played privately at home.  In the early 2010's, someone from the church started a small orchestra to play at church services. One of the orchestra members discovered a small community band located in Harmony, Maryland, which led to a few of the orchestra members joining the Harmony Cornet Band. In 2018 the Harmony Cornet Band, which played parades and concerts, expanded and added the Swingin' Harmony Big Band to its genres.

    Lynn currently plays in the Harmony Cornet Band, Swingin' Harmony Big Band, and the Brook Hill United Methodist orchestra.
