Musically educated as a trumpeter, Casey earned her Bachelor of Music from Indiana University Jacobs School of Music and her Master of Music from The University of Southern Mississippi. In May 2019 she completed her Doctorate of Musical Arts in Trumpet Performance from the University of North Texas where she served as a teaching fellow.

Goldman was born January 1, 1878, in Louisville, Kentucky, the son of David Henry and Selma Franko Goldman. The family moved to Evansville, Indiana in 1879 and, finally, to Terre Haute, Indiana. His father died in Terre Haute on December 18, 1886, when Goldman was only eight years old, and the following year, Selma and her four children, Edwin, Mayer, Irma and Alfred, moved to New York City. Before her marriage, Goldman's mother was a professional pianist and part of the famous Franko Family, which made its debut at Steinway Hall in New York on September 17, 1869.

At the age of nine, Goldman studied cornet with George Wiegand at the Hebrew Orphan Asylum in New York City. In 1892, after winning a scholarship, he attended the National Conservatory of Music, where he studied music theory and played trumpet in the Conservatory orchestra. He also studied under master cornetist Jules Levy.

Goldman founded the New York Military Band in 1911, later known as the famous Goldman Band. The band played in many summer band concerts throughout New York, especially The Green at Columbia University and then The Mall in Central Park. In the 1930s the band performed three nights a week at the bandstand in Brooklyn's Prospect Park. They were also heard on many radio broadcasts. A feature every concert was the encore, almost always Ravel's "Bolro" or Goldman's own march composition "On the Mall" accompanied by the audience singing the theme. From 1920 to 1926, Goldman moonlighted as the first professional "coach" of the bands at Columbia University, directing both the Columbia University Marching Band and the university's symphonic band.[3]

Goldman was known for his very congenial personality and dedication to music. He was very close to city officials and earned three honorary doctorates. Eventually in 1929, he founded the American Bandmasters Association and served as Second Honorary Life President after John Philip Sousa.

Edwin Franko Goldman died at Montefiore Hospital in New York on February 21, 1956, and his son Richard Franko Goldman succeeded him as conductor of the Goldman Band. For his contribution to the radio industry, Goldman has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6410 Hollywood Boulevard.[4] The Goldman Band Shell in Allentown, Pennsylvania's West Park is also named in his honor. For over 100 years, the band shell has been the home to the Allentown Band, of which Goldman was the first guest conductor in 1927.[1][5]

Come and learn the lore of the Big Red Trumpets. These are our stories as told by the Trumpets themselves. They highlight some of our greatest moments and achievements. If you are a Big Red Trumpet, past or present, and you have a story to tell, email the Webmaster and they will put it up...

In the fall of 2012 I was a freshman who had joined the BRMB after four years of membership in a really intense high school marching band. Our second away trip (and last one of the year) was to Columbia. Shortly before we went on the field for halftime, I was pulled aside by Schwegger '15. I was told that I had been chosen to carry out one of our newer trumpet traditions, the hijacking of the Columbia halftime show. I was instructed to march out onto the field with the Columbia Band in order to upstage their performance, something done previously by Frodo '12 in 2009 and 2010, and by Eli Doris '15 in 2011.

The BRMB took the field first and performed the Spy Show (with the addition of an unexpected helicopter flyover during the opening bars of Michaela Olson '16's trumpet solo in "Live and Let Die"). As our band exited the field I made my way along the sideline until I was close to the waiting Columbia Band, and I followed them back out onto the turf. For what transpired afterward, I called upon all of the precision and marching technique I had learned in high school and at Drum Major Academy (Can you tell I'm a little full of myself?). With such refined marching, it was an easy task to make the Columbia Band look terrible. Furthermore, the Columbia Band stood mostly still while playing since they're a scatter band. This meant that I was usually the only object in motion on the field, naturally drawing the crowd's attention to me. When the Columbia Band scrambled to their next positions between songs, I stopped in place; being the only non-moving object had a similar effect. Highlights included promptly reclaiming my hat after it was stolen by one of the Columbia bandsmen, performing a "step-and-wail" (a.k.a. a "park-and-bark", or "spreading your legs and having a good time"), and the now famous exaggerated version of the bionic spin. As a freshman, it was quite gratifying to hear the entire BRMB chanting my name from the sideline during the show. Out of respect, I marched off the field when the announcer began honoring the senior members of the Columbia Band.

Drum Major Jess Reno '13 told me after the fact that she'd been pissed when I initially marched out onto the field, but was laughing her ass off with the rest of the BRMB by the end of my performance. Other spectators included my family and some members of my extended family in the stands, who were pretty confused but still entertained.

Thanks to this cool thing called the internet, it was possible to track down a video of my 2012 performance recorded from the Columbia stands. Watch it on YouTube HERE. Note that during their third song, the Columbia Band just sat down and pulled out their laptops instead of attempting to play their instruments. Are they even a band? Since this appears to be the Columbia "Band's" official YouTube channel, you can find and view several other shows that were improved by members of the Big Red Trumpet Section.

I did the same thing again during Columbia's show in 2013 before passing the torch to Bethany Angeliu '18 in 2014. Hopefully this tradition continues for many more years. After all, somebody has to put the Columbia Band in their place.

It was the fall of '98, and the end of the Marching Band season was fast approaching. The inevitable talk of our annual "Hell Freezes Over" happy hour with the Bones had begun. This year, however, would not be just any regular old happy hour. It was decided that we would get two quarter-kegs: one for the Trumpets, and one for the Bones, and we would have a drinkoff. Bear in mind that these are Ithaca kegs, so a quarter-keg to us is a half-keg to everyone else. Drinking began at 10:00, and the first section to kick the keg would be the winner...

Now the drinkoff was to be held at 621 State St., which was the Bone place at the time. Consequently, the contest was rigged against us. While all the Bones had cups out of which to drink, the Trumpets were left without anything. Not to be outdone, we began drinking straight out of the tap! We all just lined up and took turns at it. Then we started lining up to do keg-stands. When our cups finally did arrive, our section leader, Wendy faithfully pumped away on the keg and kept the beer flowing nonstop. We figured if we never stopped pouring the beer for even a second, we were assured a victory. Sure enough, a few minutes and a few keg-stands later, the Trumpets were the first section to kick the keg. The only problem at this point, was that the party had just begun, and we had nothing to drink! If I remember correctly, we helped the Bones finish theirs, then got another half-keg to split among us...

There was a classic moment at Columbia once, where the press box is tough to get to, when Vic Seidel and Tom Baxter approached the first staircase and a guard would not let us go up. Soooo, they went to the next staircase and told the new guard that the first guy told them it was cool to go up, and lo and behold we went right to the top with no problem!!!

There was also the time at Harvard I think when we got a gun pulled on us by security to keep us from doing our commando raid. Unreal. When I started at CU, we ONLY raided at other stadiums. That was the whole point. In recent years, it seems you guys raid at home too.

Did ya know there were 2 different Mick Gilbert's in the trumpet section??? One graduated in 1987 or so and the other got out in 93. On Mike Gilbert's first day in band in 1989, we immediately christened him MICK in honor of the former Mick from the RANK 7 days!

And to answer a question you posed a while ago... The hip-stud trumpet was pretty much a one-shot deal. It all happened during a band trip to Hahvahd during Fall Break. Well, there was the Sherman, Noisy, and Study buses. Well, NOBODY was going to study, so the trumpets commandeered the Study bus and renamed it the Hip-Stud bus. Not really a tradition, more like trivia.

Once there was a trumpet named Dom Alcocer '00. One Tuesday night he decided to fly in the face of trumpet tradition and show up to Tuesday night rehearsal in pants. Upon arriving in the band room, the familiar stench of the floor reawakened his better judgment and his allegiance to the trumpets once again. He was now in a predicament as to how to solve the problem of wanting to wear shorts but not having any. As any good trumpet would do, he took off his pants. That night Dom wore boxers.
