"a "dubba C?"

have you been visiting http://www.tasteebros.com/???"

I had forgotten about that site. I now remember why :shock:
I've met Scott E. (and Adolpho) and he's hysterical in person. He can be as sarcastic as that site would imply, but not in a rude way at all. He is actually an awesome trumpet player too, despite the clips on the site :lol: He and Adolpho both went to North Texas and played lead for Maynard.


"We have people in band that can do that now. Atleast one maybe two Every year we have kids who can get up to the G's with ease but we don't do it out of respect for you alumni."

Yes, I know, I sat next to one of them last year at the hockey game. I couldn't hear him in my left ear over a certain alumni to my right. OMG is Kevin loud! The tags on the fanfare are just me and him and if I dropped out, you wouldn't hear much of a difference in volume. Also, he doesn't play much at all during the year. He pretty much just picks it up and comes in playing like that. That can make you sick :P I played next to John Schipper at a Madison Scouts camp, and Kevin is stronger than him. That's saying alot.

Also, we were never allowed to doctor up anything while we were there. At least not during marching band. I think that's why we act so repressed now :wink:

That was probably me that you sat next to at the hockey game, since last year I was the only one that had the G's. I am the guy that marches (I'm assuming from your screenname) your old spot. Hopefully my chair step is at least as high as all you old people say yours was back in the ice age.

It will be Lozer! While some of the older ones will slack from the younger, they will still be higher than most everyone's in the FMB this year. Lets not use the ice age wording because there is 110 of them coming and 1 of you :D It'd be bad to lose you for the show after getting your butt kicked by alumni in funny orange coats!!!

I am suprised I've never seen that site! I love point 31 in how we play so dang high!

#31...Make it as easy as possible. There are no cheater mouthpieces.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Higher, louder, faster. The trumpet

Let's play Bugler's Holiday at about 120 and we'll see how impressive you are!

Repeat after me: Tah-kah-tah-kah-tah-kah

I'll be in the mellow section slurring my half notes. :P


Kevin is awesome. I ran into him at a Barnes and Noble here in the Cleveland area. I was getting coffee. He is very much a grand fellow.
