Try using a clip-on mic. Phantom power is recommended.Mark wrote:During rehearsal of the 1812 Overture, I shifted my lips and played really loud. The bass section vomitted en mass and the bass trombonist's ears started bleeding. Do you have any tips for how I can play louder?

Re: Update Update
A friend and I spent most of the day moving furniture from the parsonage to a house my wife and I purchased across town - .8 of a mile away. Now I am stiff and sore, chilling out drinking tea and listening to July Collins on YouTube. Mellowing out - you've been updated. 
Beginning again to be a tuba player.

According to Harold Camping.... The World is to end today, October 21st. I expect those of you on the East coast to give us out here in the Mid-West and farther a little notice.

Re: Update Update
Spurned the trombone choir. Sent my wife to bible study without me and caught the ASO with my daughter. Wonderful concert. Capriccio Espanol, Rach II concerto and Pictures. Michael played Bydlo on an old top action Conn???. Someone who knows his closet better than I might identify it. Eb???? Did a good job.
I am fortunate to have a great job that feeds my family well, but music feeds my soul.

It is nice for an update from greatk82. We have added a 4th motorcycle to our stable, and the garage is full. There is still room for another tuba, however...

I've expressed my fondness for Mike Judge animation on this site before, but I'd like to take this opportunity to say how thrilled I am that Beavis and Butthead is back.

UPDATE:
The other day, I was listening to a vinyl record on a turntable. Truly, I am a child of the times.
