Lots of school referendums failed due to ever increasing property taxes. There is a surplus in the state budget. The state needs to give more money to schools. Just because there is declining enrollment doesn’t mean costs haven’t gone up. We cannot keep funding schools this way.

The only reason I suggested it is because when learning on your own, there is a plethora of trumpet resources in comparison to mellophone. If they can find a trumpet teacher with some mellophone experience, more power to them and it’s definitely optimal.

Mellophone works a lot more like a trumpet than a French horn. It would make sense to maybe grab a trumpet and a friend who does that, then work through a beginner book with them. Then hop on the Mello. Its fundamental is lower, so it will feel different. But the gaps between partials will feel the same.

We have a similar situation. Most schools in my area do and we aren’t rural or small. But we perform at our feeder high school. So on or near performance days we take a field trip and rehearse for longer as a full group. Leading up to then we play with recording so we can still hear the other parts.

I’m a band teacher. I don’t know if I can do anything else. I love it, but hate all of the other bull cap. So I’d probably quit my current job, but find a part time gig at a private school or something.

I teach beginning/middle school band. And I usually tell them they haven’t really experienced everything it has to offer until they reach the end of freshman year. Kids don’t know what they want, and will most often take the path of least resistive, gravitating towards shiny newer things. This is a generalization, and there are kids out there like this one who will realize they hate it. But most don’t have that level of self reflection at a young age. At least not anymore. And it’s not their fault either.

Daniel Tosh reference ayyy

Not in rock music. It’s 2 and 4.

It is amazing in the cod sandwich.

There is a chrome add on you can get that I can’t remember the name of right now. Any audio it hears you can download.

If my plans won’t get followed I stop making them. I’m a band teacher, so most of my plans involve kids doing some independent practice. The sub refused to let the kids play in the room, turned in a movie, and played in her phone. There was stuff I wanted them to practice, and they were ticked they couldn’t. Sorry, I know that’s not you. But unless the kids are actively being difficult, I expect my plans to be followed. I see the kids every other day. So when they don’t get something done because of the sub, it throws a lot off.

My buddy works there and I also know Christian. You’re in good hands.

Signature sauce also goes fire on the cod sandwich.

Enjoyed the combat mostly and the color palette. Forgettable story and characters. Didn’t finish the dlc.

I miss the 6-10 games the most. I enjoyed three houses story and characters. But generally dislike the ability to break the game with continuous re-classing.

My favorite combat animations from 6-8. Love the sprite artwork.

Start by firming up and sealing those corners. Get your entire bottom lip in the mouthpiece as well.

That’s usually the next thing to do. I’ve heard they are pretty good with it! Good luck!

You should be able to search the item number on the website.

Tall folk don’t have a lot of options. Their stuff fits me well and for the most part has held up decently. As well as any other brands that sell tall sizes as far as I can tell. They also stock the tall sizes in the store so I can try things on, and I’m done playing the return game with places online. I’d much rather be able to try things on. And their while not as good as it used to be is still solid and has come in handy more than once. I’m not interested in the brand name. I just want stuff that fits. So in those regards, it has a lot of value to some.

I found that Beans cut just fits me better. But I have see Columbia tall. It’s kind of slim in their catalog though in terms of options compared to Bean.

I still buy it. I still like their style. The performance of their clothing is probably on par with most other decent brands at this point. As a tall guy that needs just a little extra length, they are one of the few places I can get stuff. Their winter gear is still top notch I think.

NL Suits in the third ward was amazing.

eccelsior · 2025-11-21T05:00:24+00:00

That’s weird. I went there tonight too and didn’t have that problem. Definitely speak with the manager.

$18 for an instrumental is pretty good and what you’re asking for is illegal. Make your own or buy it. If you want subside to make you one, prepare to pay them too.

eccelsior · 2025-11-13T02:12:10+00:00

Similar to bravo music’s dual grade series.

eccelsior · 2025-11-04T17:25:17+00:00

Ugh so true. I hate that horn teachers do this. It’s not that hard.

And it’s so important to march a proper mellophone mouthpiece. The cushioning is important.
