congratulations Axlwell done to Axl who has now made the dizzy heights of 2nd Piccolo.
If he keeps posting at this rate he'll make solo picc just in time for the stupidly fast and dizzily high solo in let's rock... Anne standby!! 
|
Axl
|
Let's rock? Let's have a gentle stroll in the park, followed by a small helping of blancmange more like! The Middy is what you want.
*note to everyone, the above is a lie. Anne, it's still all yours*

I still think the rankings on here are all wrong - why are the woodwind ones all at the bottom???
|
ZedHorn
|
I shan't answer that properly :-)
however I think it's supposed to be like a marching band - you liquorice lickers at the back, trombones and tubbies up front just behind the drum corps - quite exactly where a bass guitar fits in is a little beyond my blonde brain!

Yup, that's about the sum of it!
The bass guitar was a temporary measure to pad the band out. There is a thread here somewhere about forum ranks and your ideas. Someone suggest something and I'll make it so (a rank structure that is).

TubbiesI object to the phrase "tubbies" up front!!!!
Big Ted (Tubbie player)

Axl

I agree. It should be tubby, in the singular.

Be afraid......very afraid............I think i might hire a clown costume and attend band camp....at night.....!!

All you need is a special German- Gromit -double- hexy- expresso to make your pupils the size of dinner plates and you'll be off, like James Gallway on acid!

Think long and hard before saying that, then ask those on the bus who witnessed the aftermath. 
It was one of those "special" Koln moments!

anyone got a portable battery operated coffee machine for band camp??
|
Axl
|
Zed, as I've said before, we will have electricity. If you want to bring something electrical, feel free. (Battery powered appliances are optional.)
|
ZedHorn
|
yippee... this is like a posh band camp... I noticed the other day Tesco are doing good offers on Pot noodles at the mo so stock up now for Koln 09!

If you have make sure the buttons are in English (otherwise don't ask me to get you a mug of coffee from the machine unless you want to be a hyperactive-puppy for 4 hours).

Sorry to barge in on the axl's thread but I've made it to solo clarinet. So no more posts from me as I'd be in danger of becoming a brass instrument!! yuk

Enough about drummers - they have their uses
Are we going for the most number of drifts in one thread here?

If you think this one is drifting about a bit, you should see the three word story!

Aaaarrrrgghh! I've been "promoted" to cornet! How is that a step up?

It means the guy in front of you on parade has collapsed and you've had to fill his gap as you trample over him....

He hasn't been on a submarine since they invented the internet.........he's been to Cologne, walked the Cumbrian hills, visited Neptune, been to Brighton, attended band camp, marched at band fest, been up a tower in Gosport.................but to my knowledge never been on a submarine.............oh and told stories about a trout!!!

You mean people love drummers!!!!! .....................I'm touched!!!
|
Axl

SOME people love SOME drummers. It's a rare, yet wonderful thing, so I'm told.
|
Anne Picc
|
Rare, wonderful and highly educational - I can now do paradiddles (ish) and can tap out a fair combination of 1st and 2nd parts to Centenial (I probably can't spell it though). Last year, I even learnt some of the stick drill. Not bad for a 4 year apprenticeship
I'm still crap at cymbals though and Dolly can't get anywhere near eagle squadron on the picc - maybe that means he's a better teacher than me. Can't think what else it could mean 
|
ZedHorn
|
it means the picc part to eagle squadron is only playable by uberspesh people!!!

I have been known to bash a bass drum, and crash the odd cymball. Well, the even cymballs, as it tends to make more noise when there's two.
