I like this version: How many trumpets/sopranos does it take to screw in a light bulb? 6; 1 to do the job, and five to stand on the side and talk about how much better they could do it. Quote

DCI Corps generally use large shank, 3 valve marching baritones that weigh about 12-18 lbs each try holding that up all day it's not that easy better yet find one and hold it up 15 minutes straight no playing just stand there and then you will have a true understanding Quote

HendricksonTBone Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 At Hendrickson we march baritones instead of Trombones, and our freshmen learn how to play baritones within the first 2 weeks of band camp pretty quickly, just harder for them to read dance team tunes and stuff, so we have about 22? 23? member baritone section for marching season. Its fun. Quote
Liquid Midget Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 Im learning how to play marching baritone just so i can try out for SCV in two years. its not that difficult. the big jump for a woodwind is you need to become adept at reading bass clef but besides that its not to hard. Quote
lyyiddd-2011 Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 I'm going to learn Trumpet for Phantom.. Quote
Liquid Midget Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 (edited) Trumpet takes some time. Even with third part in a corp you have to have some uber range. But good luck to you. Im doing euphonium for SCV. Edited November 11, 2007 by Liquid Midget Quote

I march Euph @ Hendrickson... Small Car is almost an Understatement ... I march a Dynasty Euph, and it doesn't like small cross through moves. (Plus, it has its own gravitational pull LOL!) BBUUUTTT... The one thing that i've seen with SOME Woodwind players switching over... The urge to keep their teeth together (Like they're still on a reed) Open ur teeth and i'll be happy Quote
radchad Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 Actually, the marching Euphonium emits a more pure/mellow sound. It's easier to be melodic on a Euphonium. It's almost as if you took a concert Euphonium and put it on your shoulder. Well, it really depends on which woodwind instrument you switch from. Flutes usually have an easier time with french horn and mello, while saxes have an easier time with lower brass instruments. Quote
WestCoastCorpsFan Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 Well, the corps I'm at marches Bari and Euph. And uh, the bari parts aren't easy.... So if a Dynasty Euph is a car , then I guess the Contra is the equivalent of holding a NASA Space Shuttle. Did anyone on here actually go try to learn a brass instrument... or anything for that matter? Im going to bet not. and if someone did, they didnt tryout. Quote

Flutes usually have an easier time with french horn and mello, while saxes have an easier time with lower brass instruments. corps never use shoulder euphoniums. real marching euphs are actually held like a marching baritone, except they have different tubing and are noticably bigger. look at the phantom regiment low brass, or any drum corps for that matter Quote
b_sax_agent Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 How many trumpets/sopranos does it take to screw in a light bulb? 13. the third trumpets will fall over, the seconds will drop the bulb, and the first will over shoot it. That takes out about 12. Then the last one will put it in, and probably do something stupid. Quote
bandnerd1230 Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 So exactly how hard would it be to go from flute to mello/trumpet? Like, could you even make a corp?? Quote
treblemaker Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 Take out the word "Like" and you would sound almost intelligent. I love you Arianne! Quote
bandnerd1230 Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 Lindsey I hate you. It was a comparison word retard Quote
TRUMPet Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Quote So exactly how hard would it be to go from flute to mello/trumpet? Like, could you even make a corp?? lets put it this way... ive played trumpet for 5 years now and i missed a spot in the last cut. if you HAVE to chose from mello/trumpet id still pick barri but mello tends to be eiser to make (at least thats where the trumpets go when their desparit for a spot) but all this still depends on what corps you wanna make.... a top six corps prob wont take a high brass player who hasnt played it a solid 4+ (min.) years but you could get lucky with crossmen (they seemed to have some trouble getting trumpets this year) Quote
