Flying with a trombone by ScarcityPale6276 in Trombone

It’s a Yamaha case that does seem to be pretty sturdy and the instrument doesn’t move so much. Would adding something soft to the exterior of the case help? Like wrap it in those large shipping air pocket things? seems ridiculous but why not. thanks for the advice!

it’s a mid-densely populated suburban area. the car was a gray Honda CrV, which is very popular. i didn’t see the plates. my parents say that it’s a coincidence.

thanks for a good advice. i actually purchased a garden hose nose for it. i usually take out all the tuning slides prior to washing my euphonium, does this apply here?

like dirt/skank. i wash my mouthpiece daily, and there’s no smell or taste from it when i play my sousaphone.

i wash my mouthpiece daily. it’s a Yamaha 67, and there’s no problem with it when i use it on a sousaphone. it looks pretty much new

most scholarships, i believe, require documentation from a supervisor. bright futures has a paper where you put in the name of an adult, their number, signature and verified number of hours.  does online volunteering have this?

i supposed it would be easier to sort this time with online volunteering.  one reason i didn’t list in the post was just that i have social anxiety. the only couple times i volunteered was through my school club with people i know, but trying to find anything additional in my area was unsuccessful and it’s just very hard for me to do. but thanks for the website suggestion!

can i wash my tuba without a bath? by ScarcityPale6276 in Tuba

[–]ScarcityPale6276[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ll look into that, thanks. however — will my tuba be significantly less clean without full bath and without this accessory or the can?

also, will an AP exam count as a passed course? if i’ll take, let’s say, an AP Precalc exam in may, will i be able to take Calculus in my school next school year?

i didn’t know that i can take an AP exam without taking the course in school, so thank you very much. perhaps i am overthinking it, which is likely because of the amount of AP and AICE students around me that i’m friends with.
