He's since started playing with several groups, including We're Here for the Beer, a German Polka band, the high school and college pep bands, the Cloud Peak Symphony, The Salvation Army Band, his family brass ensemble, and numerous other events. Dale grew interested in the alphorn after a family trip to Germany and has been playing since January 2013.
