Nah.. they still got to do it later in the song. It's all good.. and even if that's the case, I wouldn't be offended if that were me.. lol.. I played flute and piccolo (briefly) for 7 years in school. I think that's the first time I've ever heard a tuba do a trill in my life.

@kimtyler1821 5 жыл бұрын

As a picc player, I would gladly let someone else play that solo for once. It's the "free bird" of picc solos and I'm over it. 😂

@sluttymctits4496 4 жыл бұрын

@@kimtyler1821 - That's a perfect analogy! I always hated playing that damn solo. I was a pretty shy kid and despised, for five years, having to stand up under a spotlight and trill my life away. At first it's nice to be able to play the solo cleanly, but it gets old fast. I don't care if you play the tuba, bassoon, accordian, or timpani -- you can have that solo to yourselves. It's been over a decade since my last S&SF, but I can still feel the clammy hands, racing heartbeat, and the always-dreaded sweaty lip.

Directors are happy if the clapping slows the tempo by fewer than 20 BPM. It's a military band, they're used to it, they just don't want the clapping to drop the tempo so much that the concert continues into tomorrow.

Hurrah for the flag of the free! May it wave as our standard forever, the gem of the land and the sea, the banner of the right.
