During the 11 years since Mike has been out of the Navy, his career has been a trumpeter's dream; he played with the Maynard Ferguson band before taking his current position with Tower of Power.
Mike's career will take another turn next week in San Diego. He'll walk on stage for his last performance as Mike Bogart, Tower of Power trumpeter, and walk off as MU1 Mike Bogart, USN.
During the show, Lt. Mark Corbliss, Officer in Charge of Navy Band Southwest, will administer the oath of enlistment. Petty Officer Bogart will soon report to Annapolis for duty with The Electric Brigade.
Clearly, for a musician of Mike Bogart's caliber, there's nowhere to go but up.
Full story with photos at San Diego's official Navy newspaper, Navy Compass.

Went to see TOP this past June on Father's Day. Still a great band. I knew something was up when "Iron Mike" came out on stage all clean cut and such. I found out later that he was going back in the music program. Mic Gillette the original trumpet player is going back in TOP.
