I play euphonium. I have been noticing excessive pressure in my upper lip, so I have been experimenting w/ embouchure. I have a full lower lip & find it difficult to play the high range, so I roll in & angle the mouthpiece up, which kills me. My director is for blowing the air forward; he says th...

@danielsiskandfriends Thank you for the offer. However I am already very much at home.

I wonder why all of the drawings I've seen of Endermen are so freakish. I've personally always thought of them as being these skeletal, eerie-yet-beautiful things. That way it's scarier still in the fact that you look at them because you WANT to, not because you're terrified, and then it kills yo...

@resi45 Perhaps. I consider them to be a bit of a little instrument all their own, the same way Horns are. But each to their own. :)

"Greats in pop music."

Dude, what. He wrote folk/country music.

Sorry, that bugged me.

@hiptal67 I am a Christian. I hold no denomination.

Does this mean that, to you, I am not of the "real church?"

That makes no sense.

First comment?

Egg noodles.

That is all.

Incredible, full tone. Very good on the fingerings, you just need to work on your air. Good job, hon--and that's coming from a euphonium player who typically cringes at the sound of a flute. You're on the road to greatness! :D

I love how the first chicken's death noise was in perfect beat with the sugar cane song.

Anyone else get goosebumps from 0:00 to 27:11?

Bee vomit is delicious.

French Horn solo!! <3 Auto-love!!

Now where's the euphonium?

Beautiful, I love the bass/cello line. Minor keys are the win.

Those dart traps are all over my underground. Like ALL OVER.

And Toby just now runs into one.

...

FUUUUUUUUU-

Left-handedness, for the win.

Euphonium player and adoring this. :o

Sheet music, please. :o

#5 - our band played this. >:D

Music=annoying as hell.

House=awesome as hell.

This video makes me proud to play euphonium.

The "oh, no" in the beginning gives me chills.

Hey look, a female fantasy warrior with armor that covers herself!

I have hope for fantasy yet.

@Vosbraka I guess I'm just trying to get what you're nailing at here. I'm a girl, and yes, we realize we aren't all that. But what do you mean, "we like bad boys?" I for one despise them. "They need small amounts of attention just to be ignored?" What do you mean by that? "Never worth it to marry...

@cptToellner not if I become evil overlord first. ~maniacal laughter

That F. horn solo <3

@DavidSDoubleU I myself am a Christian-no specific denomination-and after looking into it a bit, I disagree. I believe that the Illuminati is a collective term for those in control of things. No specific religion is integrated into it; it merely is for telling others what to think and gaining pow...

Bassoon and oboes together.

The woodwind equivalent of a euphonium and French Horn together.

Pure beauty.

Our symphonic band is doing this to a choir group. I play the euphonium...it's hard to keep a good sound when close to tears. Such a beautiful, sobering piece. God bless Whitacre <3

@craiger711 since you "don't give a f" about religion and therefore apparently do not know or care about the ways-the real ways, not the one media blasts about-of those who strictly follow it.

So, I will put it in very simplified form:

Religion isn't a "private matter" to a lot of us. It's a wa...

Best when played loudly on headphones.

Only Michael could make me headbang.

Most beautiful eyes in the world...

So beautiful! God bless her...

My God, she's so adorable! Those eyes, so gorgeous.

I laughed when she started to whimper when he said "You're only four months." It's like she's thinking "WHAT? I thought you said I was big, why did you lie to me??"

@Habbitwilldevil What they said.

@xBeautifulMystery If you don't like it, shoo. Go on now.

@TheOperant You apathetic person.

@555deltawolf Exactly. I think that every nation is guilty of making the other look bad. It's sad but true. People make all Americans appear as fat, rude, lazy slobs; all English as ugly people with lisps and bad teeth; all Chinese as socially awkward and extremely intellectual people who talk f...

I don't like the harpsichord too much, but the way they use it in this song is amazing. <3
