Intonation/Blend in Brass quintet

Haha, awesome name!

One of the brass quintets I'm in at school is called the "Horn Stars." I wasn't around when they came up with the name (I replaced the original tuba player), but I can only assume where it came from....

The other quintet I'm in has the wierdest train of thought where we came up with our name. I'm not even sure I remember most of it. I remember some numbers being tossed out, random arithmetic done on the numbers, we ended up with a -1 at some point, I took the square root of it and was like "BAM, IMAGINARY BRASS." And it stuck (so far).

Wow! I was bowled over by that.

This Swirl of support has worn me out. I'm pooped. Completely wiped out.

I hope we don't plunge into any bad puns.
