Oh, I played Baritone Horn. And our marching ones were built similar to trumpets from Dynasty.

The "stand at attention tests" were always lulzy to hear the trumpet players whine until we got to switch with them and then they're dying and the baritone guys are slinging the trumpets around so fast that parts of them are ready to fly off.

oh shit my bad, I just read passed that - derp.. Goddamn, that mouthpiece is huge as hell too.

have you noticed that the benefits of being a brass player?

- straightens out your teeth
- refined embouchure (for the ladies)
- brass players always have this significant respect among other instrumentalists haha

Also by not being a trumpet player we got to be degenerates with the drumline.

I forgot, you get nice & full lips too - as told to me by many ladies. haha

the term 'band geek' never applied, but I'm sure that was because I attended schools with deep music programs. if you were 1st anything, you were basically living the life.

funny story: I stopped all of that once I graduated. my rival since jhs/middle school, I saw him many years later. he was telling me how he was travelling the country playing & shit. he asked me about my playing/practicing - like he already had it concrete in his mind that I achieved so much & was still playing. I told him I stopped completely after high school & picked up on weed/skateboarding/ladies. dude, the looks he gave me - complete shock/disbelief to absolute disappointment, like I was wasted talent. he said he attributed a lot of his inspiration to get better because he was always trying 'outplay' me way back when.

there's a video my mom has recorded where we performed for Fox 5 NY's Good Day New York, & live on camera we were fighting over the sheet music & our band teacher was giving us the evil eye hahaha

I stopped after high school graduation too. There's no scholarships related to it and no money to be made doing it and so I moved on. My band instructor was not thrilled.

fellow sherbro @Loiosh continued on, a fellow brass player (trumpet). he's even travelled to Italy I believe, to play. I respect the hell out of that/him.
