In addition to maintaining a busy performance schedule as a quintet, the individual members sustain a full-time teaching schedule in the Florida State University School of Music and are involved in numerous other musical activities, including principal positions in the Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra. Members of the quintet are Bryan Goff and Scott Beckett (trumpet), Michelle Stebleton (horn), John Drew (trombone), and Paul Ebbers (tuba).
