  1. Fortification
  2. I've got calc; after a few years, it's all the same. You'd think that after a while we'd start specializing for our future careers,
  3. Confederacy
  4. Spanish I do not know, so for me that would be quite difficile. Napoleon Dynamite is on TV yet again,
  5. Christopher Reeve
  6. Everything that FrontierVP said.
  7. Touchy-feely
  8. Same, my vote goes to Phantom. I've seen it live, and while a live performance is (IMHO) better, I still think the movie is done very well. But I have to admit, it irks me that they changed the reason for the face deformation.
  9. Tooth decay
  10. The 6 1/2 AL is probably the best mouthpiece to start off on, and usually, the mouthpieces are interchangable between trombones and baritones/euphoniums. If you have both instruments available, take a mouthpiece and try it on one, then the other. TMEA anyone? You'll probably be able to find more than enough mouthpieces there, with instruments to match. Just make sure you know whether you want a small-bore or large-bore mouthpiece. On another note, switch. Trumpets are horrible. Euphs rock. Trust me, I've done it.
  11. For pushups, I have one word that kills it: Hazing. A few districts have had incidents within the last five years where a student was hazed, and as a result they fell harsh upon enforcing hazing policies. Pushups and laps that are required for discipline are often viewed upon as hazing, because they can endanger the health of someone if that person is pushed too far. Yeah, I know, ten pushups isn't going to give a permanent injury to someone, nor is running a couple of laps. But when a mom steps in and yells about her baby being treated "harshly", the school and district can't do much more than side with the mom, mainly due to public pressure. I know, it's stupid, but every now and then a kid might have an asthma attack from running laps, and then the directors have a serious situation on their hands. The schools simply can't take the chance. The many who have posted about having pushups and laps, though, I suppose haven't had any incidents recently. Be thankful.
  12. Horrendous
  13. That I absolutely must deny. Since the beginning, I would have to go with Peter,
