He played piano and sang in the church choir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe was a really good piano player,\u201d John said, \u201cand my whole life, I wanted to play music.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just not the piano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI wanted to play a loud instrument,\u201d he laughed. \u201cI wanted to play in a band.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, when joining the school band in the fourth grade, he selected the trumpet and never looked back. His ability to play the instrument seemed to come naturally, and he never needed his parents to hound him about practicing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Newark, New Jersey, native\u2019s musical journey with the trumpet became not only a lifelong passion but also a career. He played in bands as a kid, taught music as a band director, conducted orchestras, and played in the pits for live stage shows. The music major from Montclair State even majored in music theory and composition, writing his own music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He got his first paying gig at a New Jersey Italian Club, Buccinese\u2019s, when he was 13. \u201cIt was an old man\u2019s club, filled with cigar smoke,\u201d he recalled. \u201cWe made five bucks each. I remember playing the song, \u2018Tequila.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even the Army recognized his musical talents, and he performed with the Army Band from 1967 to 1973. John\u2019s trumpet was the only sound you would hear playing \u201cTaps\u201d at Fort Bragg in North Carolina. They performed so well together that, after being discharged, they played professionally for several years. \u201cWe played lots of Blood, Sweat and Tears, Herb Alpert, and Chicago,\u201d John noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">John became the band director at several New Jersey schools, including Rockaway Boro in Morris County, where he met his wife, Angela, who was teaching there. They initially settled in Denville, New Jersey, but spent the past 30 years in Sussex County before leaving the Garden State and relocating to On Top of the World in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His years as a band director allowed him to take the students all over the world to perform. \u201cI\u2019ve seen more of Europe than I have here in the States,\u201d he said, recalling performances in Austria, Germany, and China. \u201cWe even performed on the Great Wall of China.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1998, he began conducting the Sussex County Youth Orchestra. \u201cYou have to learn everything yourself,\u201d he said of the daunting task of conducting an orchestra. \u201cI\u2019ve always been interested in every instrument. I started writing music for small orchestras and then for large orchestras while in college.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When he finally had the chance to conduct his own piece, \u201cEvolutions,\u201d he felt it resonated with the audience, and they genuinely enjoyed it. \u201cIt\u2019s one thing to have the piece in your head,\u201d he explained, \u201cbut when you actually hear it performed, you\u2019re never happy with it. Now there are things you need to adjust to make it better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"912\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ontopoftheworldnews.com\/ocala\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/John-Sepe-and-Angela-with-Trumpet-912x1024.png\" alt=\"John Sepe.\" class=\"wp-image-6305\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ontopoftheworldnews.com\/ocala\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/John-Sepe-and-Angela-with-Trumpet-912x1024.png 912w, https:\/\/ontopoftheworldnews.com\/ocala\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/John-Sepe-and-Angela-with-Trumpet-267x300.png 267w, https:\/\/ontopoftheworldnews.com\/ocala\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/John-Sepe-and-Angela-with-Trumpet-178x200.png 178w, https:\/\/ontopoftheworldnews.com\/ocala\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/John-Sepe-and-Angela-with-Trumpet-767x862.png 767w, https:\/\/ontopoftheworldnews.com\/ocala\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/John-Sepe-and-Angela-with-Trumpet-750x842.png 750w, https:\/\/ontopoftheworldnews.com\/ocala\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/John-Sepe-and-Angela-with-Trumpet-1140x1280.png 1140w, https:\/\/ontopoftheworldnews.com\/ocala\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/John-Sepe-and-Angela-with-Trumpet.png 1183w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 912px) 100vw, 912px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Musicians listen to music differently than the average music lover. John still has plenty of music in his private collection, which mostly consists of classical music and what he calls the post-romantic period (1900-1950). \u201cThat era has a very wide emotional range, from sad to happy,\u201d he said. \u201cI played pop music all my life, but that\u2019s not real music to me. People listen to pop music for the lyrics, and that\u2019s okay. That\u2019s why it\u2019s popular. I want to be challenged when I listen to music.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though John has made a life as a musician, don\u2019t expect to see him on stage at the Town Commons on a Saturday evening, performing show tunes from \u201cFiddler on the Roof\u201d or \u201cLes Mis\u00e9rables.\u201d Instead, you\u2019ll find him piloting his radio-controlled airplane or spending time building sets in his garage for his model railroad, two hobbies he brought with him from New Jersey. His father even worked for Lionel Trains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ve been playing, performing, conducting, and teaching music my entire life,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m done practicing. Now I\u2019d rather smoke a cigar.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From performing onstage for the first time in a room full of cigar smoke to enjoying a Padron or two himself, John Sepe\u2019s musical journey has come full circle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"card-text\">By Paul DiSclafani John Sepe\u2019s father was a musician.
