HHSBaSsTrOmBoNe'09 Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 and then also my sister played the trombone and she went over for hey band and while she was gone her section filled her horn with water and when she got back she had to bring her horn up fast so she didnt notice the extra weight and when she tried to play water shot through her bell all over the people in front of her THAT SOUNDS FUN... note to self pull this on procrastinating section leader...

johnnypotatoes Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 I once dropped my slide on the field, and it happened to be my first football game. it was 2 years ago (my freshman year) and the brass and woodwinds were meshing together and pulling apart and a sax player hit the back of my trombone and knocked my slide off. it took about 2 pages to get it back on. it sucked. also, later that same year, i was running across the field to get to a set and pulled a superman. my horn went flying and it skidded about 15 yards. i myself went about 5 yards. it hurt, but only a screw came out from my trigger and there was some scratches on my bone. i also (that same year, what horrible luck) fused my horn together by accidentally slamming it against the ground.

Salesmonkey Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Last year someone broke his horn in half in the stands. No joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnypotatoes Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 in the stands? how? last year, someone tripped and broke his in half during practice, but in the stands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salesmonkey Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Not sure exactly how it hapenned. Was being introduced to the other band at the time. Came back and his horn was in two pieces. Cost him like $300 to fix it. On another note some lady ran over one our freshmen's case today. Now we have to put them at the front side line like all the other sections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinsonSax07 Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Our trompones are anything but slackers. The section leader is a 3 time All-State Trombone (will be 4 years after this year) and they play all the solos in the stands on friday nights. 6 of them even play exit music after our show this year. They are the only section to actually win section of the week this year as well. The best section in our band by far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salesmonkey Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 We are a combination of slackers and the most hardcore section. Lately its been more of the latter. We put all our cases and water on the opposite side of the field(well till today when one got ran over...) as a way to build up the unity of the section. And therefore have had to run the length of the field to the back sidelines for water breaks and still manage to be the first section back on the field most of the time.

CBHSThe_King Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Our section used to be the most badass section of the band, but then Foster took over, and we went downhill from there. Now we're just a bunch of slackers, despite my best efforts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And gave it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zackee Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Yeah... justa little strange. Dude, I tried playing on of the bass bone etudes on my friends bass bone, it was ccrazzzy. When I was waiting at region, I was talking to some bass bones, and one of them had a very acurate description of it. He said "It's like someone took a shotgun and shot a peice of paper, and then said Hey! Let's make it an etude out of this. I had to share that. I thought it was hilarious.

T-ratbowieband Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Ironicly thats what one of our Bass Bones said i personally thought a cat was playing with a cat nip ball on a piano and someone decided to make an etude out of it a lot of etudes sound like that. back again to the slide conversation. I never have to use a slide. we use baritones. That way we don't bang into people when we're two inches apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
