This weekend was my region's honor band. It was a lot of fun, way better than my high school bamd. We learned 4 new songs in 2 days and had a concert the 2nd...
That sounded like fun. I don't think there are honor band stuff around here. I don't know anyone who tries out. People just try out for MMEA Southeastern Jr. &...
Oh yeah, besides MMEA District & SEMSBA, there is also MMEA All- State. A senior trumpet player made it to All State again this year (he did it last year too)....

I'll agree with Procession of the Nobles. I played it in orchestra though. Buglar's Holiday (feat. trumpet trio) arr. Edwards is good too. Played it in...
"Sherpard's Hey" (Grainger) IS a lot of fun. Percy Grainger arranged a whole stack of English folk songs, so if you're into that stuff, he's a good resource....

I also love Robert W. Smith stuff. We played a song each year from the Divine Comedy for concert band except my sophomore year, so we missed out on Paradiso...
Speaking of special effects, isn't it cool what the percussion section can do? lol. For Winds of Poseidon (Smith), we used a thunder sheet, and several people...

Just go with the flow. Chances are each time you play your improv solo, it's different. I know that was the case for the soloists that were lead soloists for 3...
