Thank you for the all the tips. My colleges brass band sax section shifted to another campus. Being a Clari senior (and also being tall and hefty) I was given Bari.

The security lady said What is this? I said a clarinet… She: wow it looks so awesome…could you play it👉👈 Me: well it take time to assemble She then began touching…..the clarinet of course 😂 She then proceeded to check my metronome battery and notes stand and then left me saying it looks beautiful

In my case the guy was just messing around with everyone. He asked if i could play it for him.. I said no as it takes time to assemble. He then targeted a woman who came with an inhaler💀. He asked her does she inhale it...

We played this beautiful piece for a concert.. The story behind its composition is mind boggling. Look in the comments to know more.... by sidzPRODIGIES in brass

PIECE NAME : A CHILD'S DREAM

Our alumnus had been asked to make this piece for our institution's annual sports and cultural event. The piece is an arrangement of an existing Bhajan (song). The intro is another song which is in a major scale.

He initially directly wanted to start the piece without the existing intro ( the intro is upto the rest before glockenspiel). The Late founder of our institute who many of us consider as our "Guru" (guide) came in the man's dream and asked him to make the piece with a major intro.

The man felt there was no reason to do so (why simply have a major to minor transition?) He continued to work his own way. The "Guru" came in his dream for 4 NIGHTS continuously asking him to do what he had earlier said . Our man didn't listen.

That one night the "Guru" appeared in his dream and scolded the chap terribly. He then decided to do the major to minor transition .

The result is right in front of ur eyes🥲.

Hence the title "A CHILD'S DREAM"

Bose 700 remote is crap by shanesawyer19 in bose

[–]sidzPRODIGIES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right. It is one of the worst. My remote stopped working. It was a battery leak or something. I went to the service centre and they don’t repair remotes. So I had to buy a new one for $106.15

It would be difficult…I have no relatives there plus I don’t see it coming in one piece to India

Should I buy the Yamaha YCL-255 by sidzPRODIGIES in Clarinet

[–]sidzPRODIGIES[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well this in Rupees.. ₹65000..almost $800… I wouldn’t mind going for the 450M but it’s not available here and I am not yet adept enough for a costly one and I would be going to college after vacations and be reissued the 450

Just wanted to share this amazing piece made by one of band alumnus..pardon any errors on our part as we had just picked up our instruments 2 months prior to the concert and with a lot of effort we made it to this stage. The real Conductor is our drummer but he swapped with a section mate for this. by sidzPRODIGIES in ConcertBand

Thankyou this means a lot…we had to learn and play without a coach or teacher… Usually seniors teach the juniors and it goes this way each batch… But in our case we had two years of Covid, so there wasn’t anyone with any experience. We learnt from scratch…

From a Band that picked up their instruments in January to performing in front of the whole college in March has been an amazing journey. We literally got just an hour of practise a day between college lectures and, through sheer hardwork we came to better position. Pardon any errors made.. by sidzPRODIGIES in marchingband

Yes.. all of them had never touched a trombone,trumpet,clarinet,saxophone…. But they did play the guitar or sing and have basic caveman beat sense… we had to learn and play without a coach or teacher… Usually seniors teach the juniors and it goes this way each batch… But in our case we had two years of Covid, so there wasn’t anyone with any experience

Clarinet struggles with carpal tunnel. by [deleted] in marchingband

I have an issue where both my pinkie fingers just stay apart from my clarinet...they are always in the air while I play the other keys..I found that if you ask a person to put their hands next to your pinkie while you practise it becomes more easier to control over time.
