Brooklyn sounded a bit off, but Low Rider sounded friggin sweet. :)

[WarFact]

@MrMertakhai Yeah, I screwed up Brooklyn. This was at the end of the night, and my lips were shot haha

and if you claim to have taken this from the ASU bones or whatever, give it another watch for the 3rd part.

B flat

B flat ->F

B flat, B flat, F, A flat, A flat, B flat, A flat, B flat

Rinse and repeat

A) It sounding like "ass" is your opinion and you're entitled to it, but it doesn't make what we played wrong. The band loves it so we play it.

B) We didn't take the whole thing from ASU. The only thing we did was attempt to emulate the high part's style and sort of played it in the same form. We had been playing this already before hearing ASU.

C) Who cares about how the bass bone plays it. He can play how he feels comfortable playing. It's a freaking football game not carnegie hall.

2nd and 3rd parts on low rider are wrong

[WarFact]

There's no right way to play it. This is the way our trombone section plays it as well as a lot of other schools.

HELLA YEAH

[bobebobebob]

i wish there were more than 3 bones (including me) in my marching band who could play this. not that they are bad, just a lot of them are switch overs so they arent great

[MrMertakhai]

@WarFact Yeah man, I know what it's like, lol. Pretty tough solo to play even with fresh chops.

[rpk9217]

omg......that was horrible. i know that stand tunes are supposed to be fun and loud. but that just sucked, get the right notes at least.

[bassbone1785]

I use my f trigger and play low F, all the time, it just requires more air and a lot practice of making a clean sound. Its even harder on bass trombone because you are playing on a much larger instrument to begin with. Oh and remembering to tune it. Now that I own a bass trombone, I have two attachments and its even more important to tune them. It really surprises me how many people who use them never tune them or worse yet didn't know they could tune them (yes I have seen this happen...).

[badoc10]

Yea, the low F in trigger 1st sounds like crap if you don't put the right amount of air.

[trombonechicca]

If any of yall had ever played in the marching band.... silly fun things like this are not meant to be played well. You are supposed to blast and be loud and sound terrible because you are just up there in the stands to have fun. Stop criticizing their music ability. I'm sure their show sounded better on the field, and they have a whole different sound in concert season, because that's where the serious stuff is.

[kane0187]

and lastly and probably most importantly, who advised that 3rd bone to play low F in trigger 1st? That's like, remedial trigger trombone knowledge 101.

For crying out loud my brother in middle school knows not to do that
