And that "AHH" transition thing makes this the best thing ever played by anyone. Ever. lol

[BalickyBone]

love the hangover at 1:05 ish

[PhanRegSop]

Oh my gosh! This is my recording! I got my computer stolen so I'm so glad someone has it out there!!! Kick ass drum corps year, by the way. I marched the next season.

We are playing this in our high school band, and I talked my band director into screaming the AHH! transition (: Gonna be a hell of a year.

Win.

@mellosrock The resonant frequency has little to do with anything. Most instruments are designed to not resonate on any certain pitch, which is of course impossible due to physics, but largely effective, for example, my Bb bass trombone resonates at the F# below middle C, where the bell will vibrate a little more than normal.

@mellosrock

What I am referring to is the ease of hitting high notes, as was asked previously. A concert Bb, would be a C for trumpets, or an Eb above that for a soprano bugle. All these require the same tension in the inner and outer embochure, and the same vibration to produce sound. So when playing written notes, it is easier to hit a written high C on bugle than a C on trumpet.

[mellosrock]

Sorry ran out of posting room. For a better comparison google Peter Bond on G and Bb .

[mellosrock]

@proghousedj interesting, so in your reasoning, there are no resonance point on the brass instrument itself..which BTW defies logic, physics and design. I think what you are saying is that it's no harder..what I am saying is that physics tell a different reality. As for your french horn analogy, since I actually played in in DCI before mello, the French Horn in G starts in the second octave..and it's a beast to begin with.

@mellosrock

Tuning has nothing to do with the ease of hitting high notes. The lips buzz at the same frequency to produce the same pitch, regardless of how close the partials are together. By your reasoning, hitting a top of the line G on french horn is harder than hitting an F above a high C on trumpet, since the partials and tuning on horn are so different.

[mellosrock]

@proghousedj Actually that is incorrect. The higher you go on any brass instrument the partials get closer and closer. Playing the relative concert pitch on a Bb vs G the G is WAY harder to tune in the upper register.
