T-ratbowieband Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 some people like sousas, some people like contras. i dunno. i myself play baritone, but whatever. People tell me contras are easier and vice versa. Opinions? Quote
smoke_dawg_08 Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 i wish i could play contra, to bad our school won't get or can't get any Quote
whitewing09 Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 i picked sousa just cuz ive never played a contra? idk they looked cool Quote
Shiloh Phoenix Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 sousaphone=tradition(fat lazy parade tubas, you know) Contras=Hardcore(anyone that can take a season with one of those is a real man. you ever tried playing one for a few hours? It's murder!) Quote
borchnork Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 I love the way contras play so much better than a sousaphone! Quote
gavinrh Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 I love the way four valve sousaphones play better than three valves! Quote
bossman Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 I will take any contra over a sousaphone!!! Quote
ClarinetGlissandoInBlue Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Contras look cooler....lol Quote
bossman Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Contras supply you with free "guns" after marching with them. Quote
ClarinetGlissandoInBlue Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 only on one arm though? Quote
borchnork Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 well, it's possible. I had a friend who worked at an ice cream parlor... Their arm that they used to scoop the ice cream got HUGE, but the other was just... there. Quote
ClarinetGlissandoInBlue Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 lol nice. maybe you could march with a contra on each side. balance it out a bit. Quote
bossman Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 ill admit that my right arm is alot bigger but i dont regret it Quote
slowdownrotation08 Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 No doubt, contras are pretty sweet. But they are horrible in terms of being evenly balanced on your body, and they do take a little more work to handle than a sousa. Quote
whitewing09 Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 yesterday i saw a band that marched with both sousas and contras it was alittle akward for me Quote
gavinrh Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 i've always wanted to march a contra... except i play trumpet haha Quote
