Ranks 6 and 9 are the traditional trumpet ranks, making up one of the largest sections in the band. They're loud and proud, and supply unending psyche. The close knit rank is easily heard in any field show, and they enjoy spending time together outside of rehearsal at their psyche nights. They're always ready to create good spirited havoc, and they definitely don't cheat during Rank Olympics. Ever.
