WolfofMibu i need help naming my bass drum crying any suggestions? Well, a base drum doesn't really have a case, so I can understand your sadness there. 3nodding Um, anything your base drum likes to do? Like ours is on a stand tilted to the side so you could come up with a name for that. What color is it? Maybe you can name it based on that. Or what it sounds like. Does it have a peculiar sound? Or you can just name it something random (something I would do) like Bob or Fred. I like Bob. biggrin

I'm sorry your case is perverted. Most cases are not like that (hopefully). My case is leather and black and its special. It doesn't mind being tossed around a lot like a potato sack (though I would never treat my case that way!). I also have a sticker on it that's been there for four years. My case likes the decoration! wink Anyone else have a case story they would like to share? What is your case like? biggrin

His name is . . . Number 2." xp Or something like that, I don't really like Austin Powers. You'll only get this if you're a chemistry geek, but I have decided to name my old plastic clarinet Dalton, because like Dalton's Atomic Theory, it was good in its day, and it's still useful, but there are some problems with it.

Sorry, it just popped into my head cause in the Music Man, the main character was obsessed with big marching bands. I think Harold Hill was his name. smile I don't really remember. Anyway, I have no other ideas. Ask around your band. I'm sure you all can come up with something more creative than me. wink

Oh my god I know what you mean! My clarinet is too old. Cabaret is slowing ebbing away in tune. I think my band director might push me to get a new clarinet. Poor Cabaret! Ssh...no one tell him though. It would hurt his feelings...

That would probably be me. "The Wells Fargo Wagon!" biggrin That's really cool though. Our school did The Sound of Music last year and I was in the "pitt orchestra". It was so stuffy and hot but we got to eat and do nothing for an hour cause we didn't play during then. It was fun. But we ended up not able to do anything cause Mr. Rogers, the band teacher at the time, got mad at us for being too loud. I've always wanted to be a musical, like singing in a musical. I think it would be fun! *walks way humming "76 Trombones" also*

sydneyscivit My piccolo is named Kujo. He's gangsta. biggrin My friend would totally do that too! But she's playing trombone. Anyway, she always jokes around that she's a gangsta (but she is really not). And her name is Sydney! How weird. Anyway... Cabaret says hello!

But cool. The reasoning behind my picc's name: Has to be a guy name because I don't put my lips on chicks and my picc. is not a transvestite or a drag queen. biggrin Gotta be a real butch name because, like I said, he's a gangsta. Piccs are loud and obnoxious (thats exactly why I love them) and they can't be played by just anyone one. If they could bite, I'm sure they would attack anyone but their respective owners. I love my Kujo. He's a baby, but he's a tough s.o.b. domokun

I love my Kujo. He's a baby, but he's a tough s.o.b. domokun Totally know what you mean about instruments being the opposite gender as the player. I mean, if my instrument was a girl, it would be kinda wrong, so Cabaret is not a girl. If you called him a girl, he would tackle you and poke his shiny dangerous silver keys into your eyes and mouth. It would not be comfortable. Then I would have to take Cabaret and sooth him gently. Then punish him and pack him away to his case for the day. I know what you mean about piccs and how not everyone could play them. Once this really stupid and annoying girl was playing the flute (notice I said once she was playing the flute. Reasoning? She went from flute to trumpet to alto sax and back to trumpet. That's why she sucks at all of them...), and she was hella bad and she's all, "I should be able to play the picc in marching band cause I'm so good." I almost puked on the spot. Her? Picc? NO FREAKIN WAY. She sucked like hell. And guess what? She didn't even make it into marching band. What a loser. Anyway, the point of that ramble was that I totally agree with you about the piccs and how they should be able to bite. Or, for the more shy and gentle ones, they could at least stay silent no matter how hard the player blowed. biggrin That would be funny to watch.

Hmn...Well, I don't have a name for my flute, alto sax, or the borrowed tenor sax just yet. But my plume (on my hat. It's yellow), it's name is Big Bird. >>; And I will soon need a name for a bassoon, for I am going to learn bassoon.
