ABOUT ALLEN MURDOCK
Allen was raised in the Fundamental Bible Baptist Church of Wellington, Texas. He started playing the trumpet in the fifth grade at the age of 11 and performed his first offertory at the age of 12. He was a member of That Skyrocket Band in high school and participated in Texas All-Region Bands, Solo and Ensemble Contests, and Future Farmers of America. He was a member of the 1978 All-American Band and toured Europe with that band before attending college. Allen was a music major for two years at Tarleton State University, where he played lead trumpet in several bands, and drum major of the marching band his sophomore year.
In the fall of 1980, Allen changed his career focus to accounting but continued to play the trumpet as a hobby with friends and church. He is currently a member of the orchestra at Country Acres Baptist Church. Allen is blessed to have a B Flat Trumpet, Piccolo trumpet, Herald Trumpet, Bass Trumpet, Flugelhorn, several Bugles, a Shofar, and Euphonium. Through his wife’s antique business, he obtains and donates instruments to beginner musicians at local school districts. He is currently experimenting with special effects through pedals and amplifiers used in brass instrument performance.
