Steve, You should have stayed in NY a little longer. You could have played in Italian Feast Bands with me. Sometimes horn and sometimes cymbals. Joe

Coming from the H.S. of Performing Arts,where marches were played sitting ,either in a concert band or orchestra,I was in for a very uncomfortable time. I auditioned on horn ,they had no way of knowing of my drumming experience.I told them I never marched with a horn,and I did'nt want to have some trombone player smack me with his slide turning a corner .They said play horn or go to the stockade,then I told them of my drumming ,and after a short audition,I was in the drum line. A close call,although I'd rather be playing the long call of Wagner!. More power to ya ,if you can do that horn thing in a marching band. Ciao, Steve -- Support the Arts,Kiss a Musician!,& Hug a Drummer, cause he never gets a chance to dance! _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/joescarpelli%40earthlink.net _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
