Eb Soprano cornet - too loud, usually out of tune. Convinced she has the most difficult part in the band.
Principal cornet - conceited, uses too much vibrato.
Bumper Up - either thinks he would make a better principal, or hero worships the principal.
Third man down - loud brutal musical thug with lots of stamina and no finesse.
Fourth man down - like third man down, only louder and thicker!
Repiano cornet - waiting for a chance to play principal.
2nd cornet - hesitant, out of tune, but can play a bottom C
3rd cornets - loud, out of tune, but can play bottom G
Flugelhorn - plays flat. Can't decide whether to be a cornet or a horn
Solo horn: usually a girlie - irrespective of whether a male or female player
Tenor horns - can play a unison tone in tune if one of them is dead.
1st Baritone - useless player, out of tune all the time
2nd Baritone - even worse player. Only there to show what the first baritone could do if he tried
2 Euphoniums - show-off and trainee show-off
1st trombone - steam driven. Rasps most of the time
2nd trombone - sloppy player, but can rasp even at pianissimo
Bass trombone - chainsaw with vibrato
Eb basses - look like two drunken farts
Bb basses: -sound like two drunken farts
Percussion - Have lots of noisy toys which must be used in the most inappropriate way possible. Must be totally incapable of producing a swing rhythm.
Conductor - devoid of musical ability that he thinks the above shower sounds good

Always show up late for rehearsal. It lets the conductor know how much he needs you.
KirstyDavidsonx. 0 ReplysDon't practice too much ahead of time. You don't want to 'peak" too soon.
