    VMI euphs

    Alright, I have had the 3171 for about two weeks now. First the good news. I love the sound I get out of this horn--it's big, rich, dark, wonderful. The valves move well. My high range already feels...

    An update-

    IMSLP has got to be one of the best resources out there for any musician. I was really depressed when it shut down, but now that it is back I fully intend to take advantage of its wonderful...

    VMI euphs

    Thanks for your insight, Dave. I am planning in the very near future to play-test both a King 2280 and a VMI. I have played a 321 before but would like to take a shot at some large-shank horns. I...

    Florentiner March

    My high school band director was/is a big fan of European-style marches. We did this one once, it was a blast. The trombonists next to me were big fans too.vbmodified

    Best band music for euphonium

    Hmm...so many to choose from! I do like both Holst suites; I have only played the first, but I enjoy hearing both of them.

    Now, the Hunsberger transcription of Shostakovich's "Festive Overture" is...
  9. Poll: What instrument did you start your musical career on?

    I started out playing music for real on the euph, in 6th grade. (Prior to that I had numerous bad experiences involving recorders and one ill-fated attempt to teach me ukekele.) I played a...

    VMI euphs

    I am about to enter college, not majoring in music, but still want to keep playing and want to take a step up from the beat-up old horn I've been using the past five years. With that said, I'm...
  11. Other than Euphonium or Tuba recordings, I like to listen to...

    I'd say my tastes are fairly wide-ranging. I listen the most to 60s-70s rock, esp. psychedelic and blues-rock. I'm a big Grateful Dead fan, but there aren't a lot of other jam bands I care for. I...

    The Band

    Several tracks from The Band's 1968 classic album "Music From Big Pink" contain parts listed as a "high school horn". This is none other than an old-school "American baritone horn" that was common in...
  13. Stars and Stripes Forever and First Suite in E-flat

    I have never played Stars and Stripes except for a terrible watered-down arrangement in middle school. However, the 1st suite is a true masterpiece of the band repertoire, all three movements. I...

    Aguero

    I played this piece my sophomore year in high school. It's by a guy named Jose Franco and is actually a paso-doble, rather than a straight march. The euph part is often in unison with the clarinets...

    Yeah, Festive Overture gave me fits the time my band played it. (I loved it anyway--great piece!)
