oggywoggy222 Masquanade *ish happy seeing all the new guild banners being used- even the dorky one I made* Isn't yours the one with the pseudo-stick figures? I like that one the most.

Hrm... I think I'll post some instrument jokes in all the sectional threads...
~How many trumpet players does it take to change a lightbulb?
Five. One to handle the bulb and four to tell him how much better they could have done it.
~What's the difference between a Trumpet player and the rear end of a horse?
I don't know either.
~What's the difference between trumpet players and government bonds?
Government bonds eventually mature and earn money.
~How to trumpet players traditionally greet each other?
"Hi. I'm better than you."
How do you know when a trumpet player is at your door?
The doorbell shrieks!
~Why can't a gorilla play trumpet?
He's too sensitive.
~In an emergency a jazz trumpeter was hired to do some solos with a symphony orchestra. Everything went fine through the first movement, when she had some really hair-raising solos, but in the second movement she started going improvising madly when she wasn't supposed to play at all.
After the concert the conductor came round looking for an explanation. She said, "I looked in the score and it said `tacit'--so I took it!"

I prefer the bari-sax jokes. Our band's Bari-sax and I have a love/hate relationship, so those are always good to have. That first light bulb joke is a trumpet classic. It's so true it's hilarious.

Bleh... I'm wandering in to make a ranodm complaint about one of our pep band songs, and to try to get this thread back on-topic.
Now, this year our band goot all-new pep band music. Fun, yes? Yes! However, one of the songs is The Time Warp. More fun, and it sounds fantabulous, but the 1st tpt parts go from high-space E flat to double ledger line C. For the whole 50-odd measure song. My brain hurts from playing so many high notes...

*sighes* It's not so much vibrato, as the feeling of blood wanting to explode out of me forehead. neutral
In other news, we played concert band music today! domokun
Today's sightreading piece: Jupiter, from Gustav Holst's The Planets.

We played the Time Warp for this year's marching season and our highest note was a high A flat. Of course your version is probably for much more talented people. sweatdrop Anyway, our concert season starts next moday and I'm going to be playing first part. Does anyone have any tips for me? This is only my second year on trumpet and I'd really appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks.

And, uh, for concert season. Umm... practice. And watch the conductor. Also, to help with teh high notes, play low tones. Lots and lots of long, low tones (Low F# to low C)

Thanks. wow. i'm on my 6th year playing trumpet and the best i've ever hit is an A. sweatdrop I had trouble hitting even an F till this year. I've always played 3rd, but I really want a second. So my advice: try moving the mouthpeice till you find a spot that you can play the best in. I didnt know i had one till this year sweatdrop

Hey, have any of you guys played "South 21st Shuffle" during Marching Season? That song goes to the D over double ledger and just gives me a headache. Its fun though, and it sounds real nice. Also, the song "Hey Pachuco" goes to the same D at the end of the piece. I love my show xd
