i can scream up to an F consistantly, but above that is more of a squeek.

 

i'm working on my upper range so i can scream a double G at the end of our show this year.

I can get a pretty consistent double c... i've gotten a few clear triples (i'll see if i can find a recording...)

 

I've stopped working on getting my range higher, and started working on getting lip trills on all the notes in the range...

 

If i were to scream out a double g in our show, i'd be in the Austin Morgue, and my director would be in the Austin Municipal Jail...

 

Anyone trying out for DCI?? i'm considering going to a camp: any suggestions?

 

Instrument: Bach strad 37 rounded tuning slide

Mouthpiece: Monette B3, stork studio master V4S, bach 2c (24 throat NY-7 BB)

Picc: benge colibri picc.

Yeah, I'd decided along time ago that I was going to do it and I've been preparing for it for a few months but now I'm not so sure. I think I'm just going to try out for X-men.

Hello, I'm a decent trumpet player. I really feel like I'm not that good when my section leader plays his high notes though. Just lookin' for more trumpet players though.

Well that was.... un-trumpet-like.

 

TRUMPETS FTW!

Never, EVER let a trumpet player that plays high notes make you feel like you aren't that good. I can play high, yeah...so what? Sound quality and technique matter a WHOLE lot more than being able to play high.

 

I admit, playing high is "cool," but it does not make you a better player. I know one too many guys that play high that REALLY REALLY suck because that is all they work on rather than the stuff that matters. Not to mention 90% of them use mouthpieces for screaming wimps.

 

 

By the way, I agree with the :Well that was.... un-trumpet-like" comment...HA HA HA....

ZOMG! I TRIED A 3C THIS WEEKEND! IT WAS FREAKIN AMAZING! I COULD HIT AN E ABOVE THE STAFF LIKE IT WAS NOTHING- WITHOUT EVEN WARMING UP! I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT!

 

I wonder how high I could play with a "cheater" mouthpiece.

No, I was saying that you had confused me into wondering whether hitting those notes without warmups is good or bad... Which I'm still left high and dry.

 

 

High notes without warm up = bad idea

 

It's like running sprints without stretching...sure you can do it, but why would you?

I was being sarcastic....playing high e's without warming up isn't going to get you very far
