Sara Mayo is a native of the Pacific Northwest who now splits her time between the West and the East Coast, and therefore now mostly lives in the sky.

On the left side of the country, she is the principal trombonist of the Yakima Symphony, and has also previously performed with groups such as the Pacific Northwest Ballet, Symphony Tacoma, and the Spokane Symphony. On the right side of the country, she works as a freelancer in New York City. She is the tenor trombonist of Calliope Brass and regularly performs with other groups such as the Washington Heights Chamber Orchestra, the Chelsea Symphony, and anyone else who'll hire her.

She has appeared as a featured soloist with the Yakima Symphony and the Tacoma Community College Concert Band, and has also appeared as a musician extra in Mozart in the Jungle, though she has no idea in what capacity because she refuses to watch the show. If you do watch the show and you see her in the trombone section, please let her know which episodes so she can tell her long-suffering parents.

When not playing trombone, she doesn't really know what to do with herself, but can sometimes be spotted knitting, folding origami cranes, reading genre fiction, and having opinions about coffee.

Professor Sprinkles is a tenured professor of astrophysics and a patron of the arts. He is also a small stuffed unicorn who lives on the back of a trombone.

(his vacation home is on the back of an alto trombone)

His hobbies include tea, gardening, and trapping the souls of the unwary.
