Becki Topper - Alto Horn
Becki is a graduate student at Drexel University working towards a MSI in Library and Information Science and a MSI in Digital Content Management. Prior to her graduate studies she received a BM in Music Performance (Horn) at Rowan University with magna cum laude honors. In her graduate work she utilizes her music background to develop research and projects based around music librarianship and information science.
As a musician she has played French horn with the Rowan University Concert Band, Wind Ensemble and Orchestra. As well as a season with the Philadelphia Youth Orchestra. Becki first became interested in E♭ Alto Horn when her high school marching band instructor introduced her to British brass bands. She has played the modern-day equivalent, the tenor horn, for almost 8 years. As a tenor hornist she has been solo horn for the Atlantic Youth Brass Band, Rowan University Brass Band, and Chesapeake Silver Cornet Brass Band. She has also performed as solo horn for the inaugural National Youth Brass Band of America, and as a substitute for the Atlantic Brass Band. Becki enjoys performing with Beck's Band because she just really likes brass bands and history. In her free time, she likes to buy more books than she’ll ever read, and complain about how expensive valve oil is.
