Olympic Fanfare and Theme - HWMC Brass Dectet

[scottieTbone]

Who has your bass trombonist played for? Helps if percussion section watches doesn't it! even more so if they onlt had the one rehearsal!

[Snookbone]

I know, it was slightly annoying to have had the percussion section out of time.

As far as I know, Phil (BassBone) plays for a local youth orchestra and concert band in High Wycombe and Bucks County. He may do more, but I've moved away since this performance, so I won't know.

@scottieTbone

Hi?

[draggyx]

snare drummer was not in time at all, sounded not so good, but ok

[Snookbone]

Yeah, the percussion section as a whole only had one rehearsal with us for this, and somehow I knew they were going to out before this. Real shame, as the brass worked so hard for this.

[edward0728]

wat! no french horns?

[Snookbone]

We have one French Horn. A brass dectet is made up of 4 trumpets (or 3 and flugelhorn) French horn, 3 trombones, bass trombone and tuba. Our horn player is just behind the conductor in this vid.

[edward0728]

oh.. but i can't really hear him with the fermatas at the beginning

[Snookbone]

That's because only the trumpets and trombones have the fermatas at the beginning.

Oh, and our horn player's a girl. Glad she hasn't seen this, she'll take offence ;-)

[edward0728]

lol

[soph3112]

small point, your horn player has seen this ;)

yeah, the horn part comes in bar 5.

[Snookbone]

Erm.... hehe... er, had you seen it before I posted that comment? Please don't tell me I'm 100% wrong...

[soph3112]

No. It just amused me. 100% wrong on what? I don't play at the beginning, and I'm of the female variety ...

[Snookbone]

Yeah, what I meant was had you seen this before I posted that comment, because if you had, then I am 100% wrong, and if you hadn't, I was right at the time.

The "conductor" is there for purely ornamental purposes, folks.

[hatepaki]

nothing better than the percussion of 2005-06

[Jedderea]

sweet, but damn the percussion are out! not pleased i miss this. Ignoring the percussion, you guys sounds awesome!

[petebp89]

yes but not very much. probably due to the riverb. they're playing in a church and that's always difficult for musicians. congratulations!
