RE: Something that ticks me off...

Hello all!

I also went to bass in 8th grade...I was one of the better players in middle school and had a little more lung power. I stayed with it for 2 years and after I made first chair they wouldn't let me back..and haven't been back since. I still long for the foundation parts...that's why I like it so much. So, I'm trying to get into my college jazz band on bari sax...maybe that'll satisfy my desire for low sounds! I agree with Ted though, with very few exceptions, the weaker players get placed on the bottom so they won't stick out so much..it's a sad thing that should be remedied because without a good low brass/woodwind section the band lacks 'bottom,' which I think is integral to any piece.

I also think what David said was great advice too...that's a great idea I hadn't thought of..Bravo!:)

Good luck!
Heidi
