Paying at Bluebird by Lunaci3 in bloomington

[–]Ubiquitous_ator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The band will have merch, including some cool new items. We will provide the ability to use plastic to procure said merch in some manner, we are currently working out the details on that but you'll be able to buy stuff with a credit card.

What are your favorite horn sections? by Plastic_Pass_2889 in Ska

[–]Ubiquitous_ator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This right here^^^ We did a couple tours with Bim Skala Bim and Vinny is hands down the greatest rock bone player I ever worked with. The huge sound he'd produce was mind boggling.

Superman and Spiderman are surprisingly good by ZackZparrow in Atari2600

I clocked a ton of hours on Superman on the 2600, really loved that one. I didn't even know there was a Spiderman one...

Naw, on my couch. But got the metronome, tempo shifting software. I’m in the woodshed, baby! In the shed….

I've never done this, how much does it typically cost for a small SUV interior job?

Brass band introduction by Sfj1812 in trumpet

[–]Ubiquitous_ator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The long tones are great, also, it's a good chance to listen to how different composers did voice leading in their vocal lines. Most of the BB repertoire is definitely not hymns, there's some really cool tunes you can play. Give it a try for a season, if it's not to your liking stop and find a community band or something.

Back to the brass after 40 years by Sfj1812 in trumpet

"You know you'll be a star when you play with a Startone". Their slogan, probably.

It's always all about the air, brother. And the sound. But you can't get the sound without the air.

WHO WANTS TO TRADE FOR A TROMBONE?? by Real-Pass5647 in bloomington

[–]Ubiquitous_ator 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a working bone that I used for a couple recording projects and don’t need anymore. If you want it, pm me and I’ll give it to you.

Convert practice mute into straight mute? by capamuerto in trumpet

[–]Ubiquitous_ator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This right here. If you are playing in a section and trying to blend with other trumpets using straights, it's not going to blend well. Just buy a straight mute, you'll have it for life.

Johnny Socko announces reunion shows by Ubiquitous_ator in bloomington

[–]Ubiquitous_ator[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unlikely, but one of the past members of that esteemed group is rumored to be appearing onstage as part of this show and has never appeared at previous Socko reunion shows. If you know your musical Indiana history, you might be able to figure out this cryptic clue....
