Boring music...

It could be a question of team work. You may not enjoy lifting a piano, but if the team needs it moved you will man you end or die trying.
It would be nice if the other members of the group went all out to make you look good during your solo. It makes sense that you play your best for them so they may shine.
If selecting the music is not your responsibility, all you have to do is your professional best on what you must play.

Especially when he does two songs every concert (along with some of the other "adults" in the community band). This guy is a percussionist and I cannot follow his arm for the life of me. Everything is a big fast swing, his arm moves so much up and down (distance) that we can't follow him and he chews us out. I think at least once during a rehearsal I just air-played cause he is almost un-followable. Sleigh Ride was just hell.

And the same feller writes some of the stuff that we play, usually in a purposefully-odd time signature. At least there's some blastissimo stuff in it

The blastissimo stuff is what I hate most, if it is in held notes (half note or longer), and the stuff above it is supposed to sound like random note stuff *cough, cough, the piece this thread is a complaint about, cough, cough*

Well, I don't want to appear unsophisticated, but I did listen to Steve Reich's Violin Phase once.
...
Once.

And we should do all we can to keep this thread going.

How does everyone feel about boring postings?

And can we really call Pink Floyds' Careful with that Axe, Eugene boring? Sure, it never achieved the popularity of Maxwell's Silver Hammer. But, the message and the spiritual content are so ... oh ... so ... indescribable, that we should stop and medidate before rushing to judgement about this ever so maligned work of art.

Boring? I think not!!

(whisper) Careful with that Axe, Eugene
(pause)
AAAAUUUUUGGGHHHH!

I think it's time to start posting food pictures:

LT. Did you get the memo? No food pictures. This, by order of the management. Now there is no rule prohibiting talking about food....

Even if you type them with a firm stroke and keep a solid rythym?
