ETW = Eastern Trombone Workshop
I like this. Maybe there should be a similar system in the "Elephant Room" at Tuba Conferences...

Speaking of trills on Die Meistersinger, what notes are you supposed to trill to? I have to perform the piece in the AllState orchestra in a week or so, and I know nothing of Wagnerian mechanics.

I once heard that a seamstress tucks up the frills, and a horn player ****s up the trills.

Unfortunately, I believe time is a factor. We only have an hour on stage, and they always have three pieces, so the super-long Lohengrin probably wasn't an option. buuUUUUuut...I like die meistersinger pretty well. It'll suffice.
