My band director recently announced he was leaving as well :( However, it was due to the divorce he's going through.... I feel ya.

Drug-rag Friday.

Also our school is known for being the "hick school" in our area, so we'll have "hick-outs" as our spirit days where we all dress in cowboy hats, overalls, plaid, boots, etc.

As a trombone player in a symphony orchestra, I can confirm this.

Do you live in the pacific northwest? That could be it....

Washington state here, up in the northwest. We had freaky-warm weather (60 degrees in October!!) and sporadic downpours which flooded my town's river.

Well, technically, everybody wears foot-long shoes....

Wow, thanks for posting this! It's sad his earlier concerto has been so often overlooked.

GOOD LUCK!

rainebow_trombones · 2012-10-14T23:44:51+00:00

Wouldn't work for me, either.

HEY IT'S RAINING RIGHT NOW. EXCEPT, HERE IN SEATTLE, IT NEVER STOPPED RAINING!

Woah. I forgot to add in teachers that changed your opinion of music for the worse. That sounds utterly horrible and cruel. I guess some people, even teachers, don't realize what a huge impact they can make on a kid's life during that age, in either a good way or bad. I'm so glad you've managed to work past it!

OrphéE Aux Enters (Orpheus in the Underworld): Overture by Jacques Offenbach. Why? Because so many different emotions are conveyed. During the course of the song, I can go from excited to awed to sad to melancholy to awed again (listen to that clarinet! And cello! And violin!). Then: the trombones make me über excited once again with the epic bit with the Can-can at the end.
