🎼Do you play a musical instrument?🎶

Can I have her?? Right now, we have a like 6 yr old boston terrier and we might get a boston terrier puppy eventually!

She is mine!!

Plus, she is super picky. Not sure you would want her.

She would put up a fight before anyone stole her bun

I've never actually had a bunny before. JustBabyMargo/"The Twin"/My older sister used to have a rabbit but she died a long time ago.

I didn't used to like dogs until we got Daisy(our boston terrier) but now it's like whenever I see one, I just want to give it a hug.

Who is the other French horn player?!?!?!

We are by far the superior instrument. Lol The mellow butter that holds everything together. And that brassy thunder when a whole horn section is in tune, bells ringing…*shivers*

Trumpets not so much…

 

[ColtHandorf]

Brass in general is amazing though.

You have no idea how bad I wanted to do this though. I got an offer from a DCI group for color guard but I passed them up.

I think everyone thinks their section is the best.

Just like how I like strings and woodwinds. That's how it ran in my old band.

But, I do agree that bass is great. Especially in specific pieces. A band is not a band without them, that's for sure.

Strings and double reeds are lovely, but that’s orchestra, not band. Lol Alto saxophones are a bit like trumpets. Everyone plays them but like one in fifty players are actually good. Tenor and baritone sax is nice. Flutes are wonderful. Piccolos can be a bit shrill and breathy. Clarinets when well played are wonderful. Trombone and bass trombone are gorgeous in a melody. Baritones and tubas were necessary but not my favorite. And percussionists, well they are percussionists. Lol

My favorite experience musically was playing in a brass choir. We played some amazing stuff. And the horns carried the melody of course in place of woodwinds. We had some really daunting numbers and by the end of the very intense program, the horns specifically had to be augmented by a couple of professionals who came out and joined us. Our lips were just too shot by the end. I don’t even remember what all we played, but after the finale of the Firebird Suite, Feierlicher Einzug der Ritter des Johanniterordens, Nessun Dorma, and Appalachian Spring/Simple Gifts where, and I quote our director said she wanted people so excited they were throwing their babies into the air at the end, we couldn’t do a thing. Especially because two or three of those pieces required fff as the volume on notes above the staff. There were times in rehearsal where our lips would just give out and smear off the mouthpiece. One girl gave herself a bloody lip and the bass trombone player gave himself a hernia. Lol

I used to be in band and when I practiced at home all I used to hear was

"Stop you're making the dog nervous"



+1 for the baritone

 

[Isadora]

+1 for the baritone

"Do you know why I sing baritone?
I can hardly bear the tone!
Hahahahaha!"

-old man at my church when I was a kid. He probably told this joke 10 times to me over the course of several years
