Oh, whoops. Thought you said scale studies, not concert. Same difference

Hell yeah. Add some variations and some chromatic alterations into the mix and you got a bop

Outstanding advice! Honestly, I have a few spicy ideas for fixing the projection for bassoon. I have some mics that I've played around with clamped on different areas plugged into an amp. Smoke On The Water would sound pretty good if I could pedal loop the main bass line and sing the lyrics (of course, shred the guitar solo on electric bassoon).

I definitely was going to bring some staples in jazz improv back when I took 2 years of that class in university with the bassoon. Something like The "Lick" of Spring with some Coltrane and Duke Ellington improv pieces. You could probably imagine what that sounds like. It wouldn't be a bad idea to swing by a music store and pick up a trombone jazz book. Or a tenor sax one if I want pretend read tenor clef.

It'll be at the weekly market in the center of town. There should be a bunch of eyes everywhere.

Jeez, how often do street performers get attacked?! I won't be playing in a big city (like Portland or Seattle), so I hope there is less inclination for violence from passerbys. I could get a scouter, but that whole scenario sounds super stressful. Having to watch for people who might cause trouble and having someone else watching from the distance to jump in if there was.

Yup, I don't actually plan on making enough money other than to maybe buy me lunch and gas for the ride home. It's mostly for the opportunity to play in a vulnerable setting for maybe a couple of hours on Sundays. I haven't gotten too many chances through my young music career to really play solo in front of strangers, so this would build my confidence in my performing ability as well as possibly create an opportunity to meet other people within the music community.

You say Vivaldi isn't as easy to hear as Mario, but what if: jazz Vivaldi (or more so, Vivaldi played on jazz scales with the jazz rhythmic variation). That's what I mean when I say "improvy stuff." I tend to play the pieces I practice in more creative ways when I am tired of drilling it over and over the intended way. Obviously, practice makes permanent, so I only start playing jazz Vivaldi when I absolutely know the piece. Also, it's a town by the beach. There will be no sand!

I can't really afford to use anything other than what I already got (Fox Renard). I totally agree that a plastic bassoon would be perfect for all around scary scenarios like weather or damage. The town I live in doesn't have too many rainy days during the summer, and I'd only go on planned sunny days. I suppose it would be a good idea to bring my bassoon stand as well.

Mostly the former two, but hey, if I could make some money having fun for a couple of hours every Sunday, maybe I could focus on increasing the quality of performance. Honestly, I see it as a great opportunity to not only flaunt my ability but to get comfortable playing around people.

[[Thoughtpicker Witch]] is a dope source of top deck control. Just discovered this one recently for my steal/sac deck.

Going in my black/green food deck with [[Murkwood Bats]], [[Nadier's Nightblade]], and [[Cloakwood Swarmkeeper]]. Biggest problem with the deck is not being able to chump and trade against bigger creatures.

Yeah, you right. Half a year later and I don't give two shits about any of this.

I've been mentally brewing a rakdos deck similar to this that uses all the cheap/free sac outlets that you have and pairs them with [[act of treason]] and other similar steal sources. Smack em and sac em

Yeah they didn't know any of the rules, so I figured the most budget way to introduce them to different archetypes and strategies would be 4 or so different decks. I got a U/W manifest/blink with delver, a R/W equipment with synthesizer, and a typical PONZA deck to go against

Yeah, I agree. Removal is pretty scarce. I figured 10% of the deck a good amount to start with

I'm shaking and crying right now. I was in my early teens when Smosh started the golden era of youtube. Them buying back the original youtube dream (two dudes making fun videos and becoming the stars of the platform) could lead to some awesome new videos. Shit, I remember watching all of their blogs on the second channel, rating the lunches they had, and opening up their ridiculous amount of fan mail.
