# Atlanta Trumpet Festival

The Atlanta Trumpet Festival is hosted by the Atlanta Trumpet Ensemble under the direction of Kay and David Fairchild. The festival started in conjunction with the creation of the "Atlanta Youth Trumpet Ensemble" in 2004 which has since been renamed the Atlanta Trumpet Ensemble. The festival occurs annually around mid-September and lasts a total of two days. Throughout the day trumpet players from around North America participate in rehearsals and clinics given by some of the finest trumpet instructors of the United States.
