Members jonathan_matos5 Posted October 18, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 18, 2007 What do you think they invented booze for? Just relax and you'll be fine. Good luck man. if i drink booze then i'll start to swing the 8th notes not a good idea on a latin piece or any classical chart for that point. it takes all of me sober to not take liberties on the melody lines because of my high school's focus on jazz band over every other type of music. im still learning to fallow the conductor with his baton :cop:i had a backwards training and im having to break a lot of bad habits to keep up in the college band.

Members sunburstbasser Posted October 18, 2007 Members Share Posted October 18, 2007 Sometimes I take a good, solid dump before a gig. Helps a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sunburstbasser Posted October 19, 2007 Members Share Posted October 19, 2007 You'll be fine. Even pros crack notes sometimes; you can hear a trumpet player crack a note on "The Chicken" from Jaco's The Birthday Concert. I still stand by my poop.

Members jonathan_matos5 Posted October 20, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 20, 2007 i cracked the high g in the end of Washington Post March. other than that the show was great well that and the suck performed by the show choir as we got our stuff ready to go on stage. they were covering Beatles songs but i swear that John and George were rolling in their graves; and that Paul, and Ringo were getting ready to go postal (well they would if they were there). how the F do you botch Beatles tunes?

Members slight-return Posted October 20, 2007 Members Share Posted October 20, 2007 I still stand by my poop. That doesn't sound very hygenic, not to mention it can be awkward socially "Hi! very nice to meet you. I'm sunburst and this, to my left, is my poop. Say "hello" poop! Hey, where you goin'!?!"

Members Sax4Life Posted November 4, 2007 Members Share Posted November 4, 2007 Tulsa CC? *jaw drops* Yup, yup... I'm in that very band. I play the bassoon (not the saxophone. ) Yeah my main problem there was I still haven't got ahold of making my bassoon soft enough so half of God Of Our Fathers I didn't play at all because I didn't want to stick out. -_- Other than that I wasn't nervous at all. It wasn't my first time in six years, but it was my first concert playing on the bassoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
