aah another hornist… whats the brand name of your horn and the model of it… also what mouth piece do you use.
Played a lot at the start of college. Went to record an album, had a small contract in the works with a small indie startup. In the end we all went in different directions and decided against it. It was cool for a while but pursuing it as a realistic career wasn’t as much fun as I thought it would be.
Security of a “regular” career has been more fun for me. And with what I do for a living now I positively impact more people than I can really even comprehend. And then I get to go home, crank the volume, throw yoyos and do whatever I want! Woohoo life is fun!
Selma double f horn as for mouth price size I use a pretty standard size I’m not sure of the model exactly I’ve owned the horn for almost seven years and used the same mouth piece for every one of them but it is a pretty decent sized mouth piece
BUMP!
I play the bagpipes. And a little guitar. Player the trombone and tuba/ sousaphone in high school
Got asked yesterday if I wanted to be part of a project choir, doing a huge project. Turns out I’m singing bass in The Veil of the Temple by Sir John Tavener. I wasn’t aware of it yesterday, but this piece of work lasts over seven hours, luckily they’ve got several big choirs working on this, so I’ll only be singing the last three cycles (out of 8 total). It’s supposed to be an “all-night vigil”, starting at about 10 PM, and ending at dawn. Even though most of the bass parts are incredibly boring (like holding the same note for 50 bars), being part of something this huge, in an amazing cathedral will be great and I’m super stoked! Now I just have to learn all this stuff.
That sounds so cool! Lol, I too wouldn’t want to hold a note for 50 bars :o Good luck! 
Well I gotta breathe every now and then. It can get boring, several songs (prayers) are just an open fifth as a drone in the bass voices, with a lot of shifting diatonic clusters in the other voices on top of that. Sounded good at rehearsal, but I can’t wait to experience it with the cathedral acoustics.
Got the bass clarinet from school for the summer, I’ll be using it for band practice as well. Super happy, according to my band teacher I was really lucky an got the good one it’s the buffet one. ^.^ (just for a reference the bass clarinet I have costs 10 grand you have permission to spit your food out)
nice! Already gotten mine my high school marching band is working on some phantom of the opera stuff.
Who is playing for the Forth of July?
cool!
:o Is that gonna be your field show? Because that would be realllly cool!
yeah my school is already getting ready for the football games In September.
Coolio
How many shows do you guys do each football season?
Well, my band does all the home games and homecoming, so we are doing 5 games this year.
I hate to say, “well in my day” but, that is why I asked about how many shows you do. All the schools where I grew up had a completely new show with new music for each and every home game.
yeah my band doesn’t do that, we have predetermined sets for the football games, with sometimes the same music as something is earlier.
My band basically does its same field show for every performance they play meaning football games, festivals, competitions, etc. Btw! Our next year’s show consists of Bohemian Rhapsody, a bit of Sam Smith, and classical music because it is about the Evolution of Music
