Shiloh Phoenix Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 sousaphone=tradition(fat lazy parade tubas, you know) Contras=Hardcore(anyone that can take a season with one of those is a real man. you ever tried playing one for a few hours? It's murder!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borchnork Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 I love the way contras play so much better than a sousaphone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavinrh Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 I love the way four valve sousaphones play better than three valves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossman Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 I will take any contra over a sousaphone!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bossman Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Contras supply you with free "guns" after marching with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClarinetGlissandoInBlue Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 only on one arm though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borchnork Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 well, it's possible. Â I had a friend who worked at an ice cream parlor... Their arm that they used to scoop the ice cream got HUGE, but the other was just... there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClarinetGlissandoInBlue Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 lol nice. maybe you could march with a contra on each side. balance it out a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossman Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 ill admit that my right arm is alot bigger but i dont regret it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowdownrotation08 Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 No doubt, contras are pretty sweet. But they are horrible in terms of being evenly balanced on your body, and they do take a little more work to handle than a sousa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitewing09 Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 yesterday i saw a band that marched with both sousas and contras it was alittle akward for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
