I play in one of the premier military bands in Washington, D.C. With my rank and time in service, I will make a little more than $50,000 this year. It's not bad, but D.C. is a high cost-of-living area. Military health, education, commissary and exchange benefits help a great deal, but most of us try to work outside the military to supplement our income.

I got here by way of BM and MM degrees in performance at the University of North Texas, followed by a university position at Stephen F. Austin State Universtiy, and the Shreveport Symphony.

Hard work, dedication and tenacity payed off for me (note the lack of any talent!)

Hope this helps,

Karl Hovey
