1. You can actually HEAR us in marching band
2. We don't make people's eardrums explode because we are playing high screechy notes like the piccolos do!
3. We don't squeak
4. LOW BRASS KICKS a**!!!
5. We're stronger, since we have to actually hold our horns up in marching band (note: this comment is not aimed at flutes, since your shoulders look like they're about to be ripped off during flat circle drills)
6. Only bad players sound like crap. The good ones (including myself) sound really good.
7. There is nothing more awesome than a kikckin jazz trumpet solo
8. We actually have spines, unlike the clarinets that complain that they can't hold their instruments up while marching
9. We don't have wussy little neckstraps
10. Our instruments are shinier
11. We don't have to completely re-tune every time we take our instrument out
12. You can actually hear us when we speak, since brass people tend to speak louder than woodwinds
13. You cheat and try to steal the french horns/mellophones
14. You're thieves and try to steal the french horns/mellophones
15. Trumpet players are the best kissers (sorry had to add this XD)
16. *joke* Wait, scratch that; french horns are the best kissers (but they sure do hold you funny XD)
17. We have a sense of humor
18. We can keep time
19. No dippy "deed-dle-lad-dle"s for us
20. Though woodwinds were the first wind instruments, brass were the first to be truly "perfected".
21. We can play in the rain without destroying our instruments
22. Brass is just awesome
2. Mmm, I have to disagree. Trumpets may not play high very often, but when they do (and they're not good) it sounds like a small animal may be being tortured. And I think the pic sounds cool. (I play sax, so I'm not biased on the whole pic thing.)
3. Actually a good point, but sometimes squeeking can add to the music. Some jazz saxes do intentional squeeks.
4. Another good point. Nothing can beat lows. Which includes
woodwinds.
5. I'd like to see you march with a tenor sax for a while. See how your right arm feels then.
6. Um, same for woodwinds.
7. Sax solos are just as good. And a good piano solo.
8. You can't base the entire woodwind section on clarinets. I'll admit, they're pretty lame at my school, too.
9. Again, tenor sax. And bari. Those things are HEAVY.
10. That is... I don't know how you came up with that.
11. At least we're in tune all the time, then.
17. Moot point. I know TONS of woodwind players that are way funnier than brass players.
20. Whatever. Our imperfection is what makes us better, because we can control our instruments to make them perfect.
21. So can we. I think the only section that has to worry about that is the percussion section.
I'm going for woodwinds. So much more potential.
