![]() ![]() The 897Z trombone is fairly new, I only got it maybe 3 years ago, and I got my 641 euphonium way back when in the mid 1980’s. Both have the combination of being easy to play and great flexibility of tone, coupled with Yamaha’s outstanding craftsmanship. ![]() The two horns that I use the most with Alpine Squeeze are the YSL 897Z trombone, and the YEP 641 euphonium. TOOLS OF THE TRADE: I currently play on 6 different trombones, bass trumpet, 2 euphoniums, and tuba, and all of them with the exception of the bass trumpet and one of the euphoniums were made by Yamaha. Oh, and lets not forget the shaker eggs… □ As far as rhythm percussion instruments, depending on the song, I use a half-moon tambourine, wood block, pair of rhythm sticks, maracas and a pair of Tycoon Percussion Supremo STB-B Bongos that were made in Thailand. No matter who is at the sound board, I can always fine tune my monitor with just a touch of my fingertips. The onboard 3-band EQ facilitates feedback suppression and is small and compact. Hearing yourself during a performance is critical so I choose the Mackie SRM150 Personal Monitor. Not only is it lightweight and durable, it gives me crystal clear sound and I’ve never had a problem with feedback. After trying many different vocal mics over the years, my microphone of choice is the Shure Beta 87A. TOOLS OF THE TRADE: Well of course as the only female vocalist in the band, the instrument I bring to each performance is my voice! I rehearse as much as I can, and Eric does a great job in helping with those tricky German lyrics. In addition to riveting vocals, Cherie blends percussion with rhythm and and adds excitement to the performances by getting audiences involved, resulting in pure fun. Cherie adds her talent in several tracks of “Tropical Squeeze,” Alpine Squeeze’s debut album released in 2007. Her love for music goes back to high school when she was the lead singer for “Wild Oats,” a local southern rock band in Westchester County, NY. As the managing director and leader of the band, Cherie sings her heart out with professionalism and creative style. ![]()
