Bell Position When Soloing
I think reiterating most folk......
I stand in front of the band by the priciple cornet and soprano (traditional band set up) to the conductors left & aim my bell out towards the center of the audience / largest upward space. So I'm 45 degrees between the audience and the conductor so I can keep an eye on him!
