At both Highschools here, the band teachers allow euphonium players to be in jazz band playing trombone parts. Maybe look into playing in a jazz combo instead. Angelika by Frank Mantooth is the only...

About a month ago, I noticed the website does not work with the Brave Browser. Its works fine with Firefox.
I believe it was either 1993 or 1994 at The International Music Camp, there was 8 euphoniums in the concert band in the 6th session. I was 4th chair (1st Chair North American). The 1st 3 were from...
My Besson uses the euro shank. I tend to agree with Bowman on this one. The euro shanks seems to have a sweeter sound. The trade off is its harder to find mouthpieces that have an euro shank.

I forget when it was when I studied at Minot State University, Thornton switched to using a Brian Bowman BB1 mouthpiece.
I will be at IMC this summer playing in the brass band and singing either in the Mens Babershop (if they have it this year) or in the mix choir. So I will meet you.
I will try to reword this though I do this automatically without thinking about it.
Reading a piano part or a vocal part, written middle C first ledger line below the treble clef is the same...
I do it a fair bit. I just pretend that I am singing and it takes care of itself playing wise. For reading an alto line (or if the lead sheet is a song which is clearly an alto), one can get away...
Is the 274 really better then the 374? I know Algirdas Matoniz of the River City Brass plays on the 274 not the 374.
My mouthpiece just arrived. It took a week and a bit to get here, maybe thanks to where I live and Canada Post is slow in general. Initial thoughts after a quick practice of 40 minutes. I have to use...
The Wessex BBb 6/4 Compensated Tuba ‘Leviathan’ has a rotary 4th valve located by the 1st valve slide. I wonder if something like this be practical for euphonium and baritone. I still don't like in...
My Besson takes the medium shank. Thanks for letting me know. I ordered the Solo 51M on Monday from the UK. It worked out $230 or so Canadian. I should have the mouthpiece late next week.
Not sure where how far you are from Grand Forks but contact Dr. Joel Pugh from University of North Dakota. Real great guy and euphonium and trombone player. Not sure if he does online lessons.
I just looked at the prices. I am from Canada. Factoring in the exchange rate, it would be a fair bit cheaper for me to get it through the UK site versus the US it minus possibly shipping costs. Is...
When I went to Minot State University in Minot, ND, I played with the Brass Band of Minot. After 1.5 seasons playing baritone, I left the brass band partially because I absolutely hated the...
I played The Last Post a few times at my church up on the balcony for their Remembrance Day portion of the service. I used my trombone and played into the stand. I chose to play it on trombone as the...
I never got around to responding. Your idea of using 3rd valve for the lower D and 1-2 for the upper works perfectly. I had a concert lastnight which we played Cathedral Grove. The local cable...
My Community Band recently returned to play. I'm one of two community adult members who 'returned to play'. The rest of the band is made up of highschool students, music teachers playing secondary...
My Silent Brass mute for my euphonium is over 20 years old. Its bit hard playing in the lower register. Other then that, it works. fine. I live in an apartment and had my property management in my...
Have you considered going to University of North Dakota? Dr. Joel Pugh is a really great euphonium and trombone player. A plan B like ecological and biological field would be a good fit and keep...
In Highschool and my 1st year of university, I used a Yahama 354V to play in jazz band. It was a fairly good valve bone. At some point, you will have to learn to play the slide trombone. Since you...
Its hard to say if my Community Band will be rehearsing for both students and the Community (adult) members this Fall. We're at the mercy of what the school division and the province public health...
Thanks. I went to The International Music Camp from Grade 8 to Grade 12 and go there almost every year for their 4 day Adult Camp they have at the last weekend of July. I heard some stories about...
What was the date of the recording? I am wondering if this was an outdoor concert or possibly when The International Music Camp was doing performing tours. The Masonic Auditorium was built 1981. The...
About a week and a half ago, I had to get my bottom right molar which had a root canal done to it extracted as I cracked the tooth in half thanks to a bacon bit which I had with a salad. Though I...
