Jim Pastore is just as his photo shows. Always a smile and a pleasure to be around. He is the kind of person you just want to know. His humor during rehearsals and gigs keeps the band laughing and in good spirits.

He is also a very fine lead trumpet player. His is one of the most important positions in the band for the lead trumpet dictates to the rest of the band how to interpret an arrangement. Jimmy's playing is mature and solid.

Retired from teaching music in public school, Jimmy now teaches trumpet through out the North Shore area. He is so in demand that GBSO shares him with many other musical organizations.
