DAN ROHLFING — One of the
newest members of the Gateway City Big Band is trumpeter Dan Rohlfing. Dan
was born and reared in St. Louis and went to Lindbergh High School,
graduating in 1981. He played
trumpet most of his life through high school and college, playing in the
jazz band in college. To keep his chops up, Dan worked with German bands and
did lots of church and wedding gigs.
He also plays bugle with the military honors program, mainly at
Jefferson Barracks. He goes to
Cardinal games and is a member of the Greater St. Louis Area Council Camp
Staff Alumni of the Boy Scouts. He
works as Chief Information Officer at the Veterans Administration office in
St. Louis. He went to high school with Karen Sharp, our trombone
section leader and Recording Secretary.
She recruited him for the band and he has been on the band since January
of 2011. He said that it was stressful at first because he had not played
jazz in 25 years, but it was good to get back into playing this
music. Dan is
married to Laura Rohlfing and has a son and a
daughter. |
