Good Grief!
The president of Tarleton State U. started things off,
because some new donors were inducted into the
Tarleton Society, by his mispronunciation of
Mr. Yeo's instrument:
Said it was a
trombone.
Mr. Yeo's feature piece,
Proclamation by Gordon Langford, ended with a very long held note with a
decrescendo into perfect silence .....
Of course, a baby in the audience immediately began crying
and did so until the end.
My main complaint is that there was a contra-bass trombone
in the ensemble, even though it wasn't called for in any
of the music.
Just played tuba parts on all the selections.
What the ****
