I love the french horn! Its my main instrument. I play trumpet, french horn, valve trombone, and I just got a viola as a present. I miss playing the french horn...I was the only one in high school to play it. I have been told that I have a great tone, and I actualy held my own up against other great horn players in a solo competition. I have been playing for 2 years, and that astonished the judge. He told me that if my tuning valve wasnt stuck, I would have gone to state.

It's a meanish song that my sisters and I made up to the tune of 76 Trombones.
*to the tune of 76 Trombones*
1/76 of a trombone played out of tune,
while 110 french horns killed the band,
and the piccilo player went off with the rest of the band,
and the tenor sax was never found again.
That's all I have so far.
What do you guys think?

I'm not considered the 'Traitor'. I still play horn, but I went to Baritone. Or, the Obese Mellophone, or Annorexic Tuba. Lol.
I'm hated. they made me a shirt...
and when i go by they say, "EW! Ex Mello Baritone! Go away! We don't like you!"

I'm sorry. It's mean, but it's funny and sort of true. But why did you leave the beautiful French horn?

And I named them Larry(mellophone) and Hakkai(French Horn). I don't think it's the sexiest part of every band. The sax is considered 'teh sexy' at my school. But I must agree, the french horn rocks. I got a double horn that I had to borrow from the school. It's all not shiny and has a bunch of little dents in it. And I rant too, though usually I go ranting about my stupid parents and the fact they won't buy me a french horn, or rent me, a nice one.

Our enitire Horn section (finally reached 4 people now) plays on double Horns. On my first year of Horn last year, I managed to make it to 2nd chair out of 3. The first chair went to State solo competition, so 1st is out of the question.....for now. The 1st chair's mom says that I may pose a threat if I practice over the summer. *laughs evily*
Back to the subject: Our Horns are in okay shape, but my case's hinges are broken. sweatdrop Our third chair's Horn has really slow valves, and there were a lot of runs in one of our songs during the year. I had to borrow her Horn for rehearsal once while she was in choir. I switched Horns almost immediately.
I'm really talkative today. Not really talkative though...typeative?

I switched Horns almost immediately. if the valves are sticking, try having ti cleaned. oiling's all well and good, but oil gatheres dust and case lint and so on, and it gets sticky, and then playing different notes sucks xp that happened to me last year - my trigger was gummy, and ti kept getting stuck halfway on the way back up, and my notes sounded funky cry

My band director had to show me how to do all this stuff in class when I got my french horn- oiling the valves, for instance. But when I first got it, my band director had to show me how to hold it, it just sat in my lap for about three minutes because I was trying to figure out how to hold it before she came over. Then she showed the whole class how to properly hold a french horn. xp
Eh heh.... sorry, flashback. I haven't oiled my baby in a long time because I don't have the right kind of valve oil thingy... I just have the plain old trumpet squirt bottle... so my baby's valves are being annoying.
Oh! Right!! Gotta practice my baby today... I have a band camp next week, and I don't want my lips to hurt. Gotta get back in shape!!

I'm not a Frenh horn player, I play trumprt, but I'm one of the Mellaphone(sp?*) section leaders this year.
Anyways I made the sign for our section in our band hall and I wrote Franch Horns in the middle of it, and put all ther horn players on it, including the people that swithched to percussion/gaurd for marching season.
When I finished my sign that took me like 2 hours to paint, our third band director came in and told me that it was the mellaphone section, not the french Horn. So I told him, ok, but I put all the french horn players on there, including the ones that aren't marching. He then procceded to tell me that If that was true than I should not have put FRENCH horn on my sign, but only HORN. We argued about for an hour. I saidI understand it's really called just the Horn but we're in Highschool! (I'm only a sophmore). If you went up to one of our horn players and asked them what they played, they'd say French Horn! He even called his girlfriend and had her explain to me why it's just called Horn (he's a baritone player!) but I still just wanted to put French Horn on my sign! I was so frustrated, I told him I'd make a new sign! But when I went to get the paper, he told me my sign was fine, he was just trying to tick me off....anyways I thought it was a funny story!
Oh yeah...since I'm one of the Mellaphone section leaders, I have to march a mellaphone spot...but still play trumpet. Have any of you guys ever heard of somthing like that or seen it in your band?
