Eventually it dawned on John that the trumpet was superior as a money earner to composition and the economic imperative of supporting a family meant that John practised the trumpet alone in a darkened room for 9 hours a day until he got himself recognised as a contender for trumpet jobs.

And since 2020 John and The Wallace Collection have recorded (on nineteenth century period brass) the complete quintets (twelve) of Jean-François Bellon, the complete quintets and septets (also twelve) of Auguste Mimart, and twenty Haydn string quartets transcribed for brass quintet by Julien Tollot. In 1965 he toured Europe as soloist in the Haydn Trumpet Concerto.

Hood joined the Los Angeles Philharmonic in January 1982 and has appeared as a soloist with the Orchestra at the Hollywood Bowl; as a conductor, he has led Los Angeles Philharmonic Institute Orchestra brass musicians in several fanfares.

Since his retirement from the LA Philharmonic and USC, Boyde taught at the Eastman School of Music for one Semester, has resumed his compositional activities, and continues to teach privately from his home and on Zoom.
