haha, well its just a running joke with my corp to be called to attention and parade rest in ways that other corps at retreat wouldn't expect to hear. So what would be the closest translation to those kind of commands?

i was wondering if anyone could help me translate some commands into different languages. Just the commands for going to attention, going to parade rest, horns up, and horns down, i don't really want the others. I want translations for Spanish, German, and Japanese...(but others are cool too). If you're really cool you can put a pronunciation key too! B) Thanks -Kyle

Well if you ever have to play "Scherzo" by Anthony Plog then at least you'd have the whisper mute, I had to get a couple mutes just for that piece I wouldn't really want to practice on a whisper mute though, just try finding a park or some open space. -Kyle Impulse Soprano 01' 02

Opening chords of Blue Knights 03' show, kaval sviri on the field was freakin awesome. What awesome arrangements of music! i think Andy Smart arranged that one, and it was sweet. -Kyle Impulse Sop 01' 02'

Thank YOU!!!!!!

Thanks for the report, i've got a good friend in the trumpet section that's marching this year. Good to know that things are going well for them. It would be nice to hear more reviews like this one, cause believe it or not tour isn't all about the performances. I've got friends in Cascades guard too, anyone want to review one of their rehearsals? Anyway thanks, we appreciate the news. -Kyle Spraker Impulse Soprano '01-'02 '04? B)

i'll make sure to ask him! seeing that i marched impulse> thanks for reminding me that he goes to Long Beach.

I've got auditions for Long Beach in a month, so i need some info. What is it like? i know that i must play some technical material, and some melodic works but what else? are sight reading, or scales usually included (it depends on the college of course)? Just to let you know i've chosen the Arutunian Trumpet Concerto for my main piece, but i need more i think (like etudes). Also, what kind of way should i present myself, i know that first impressions are important. I guess i just don't want to walk in and ruin all my hard work in the first couple notes that i play, i mean i'm not a very nervous person but you never know. -Krazy Kyle with a K

Thanks everyone for the advice, this a great site for help! anyway i will certainly try some of your ideas for cleaning and as for the reverse leadpipe i have purchased a Bach Strad with a the reverse constructed leadpipe (which i got an awesome deal through a friend so i couldn't pass) as my first professional horn. My instructor, Andy Smart, said it would be a great horn for my college years. I hope none of those Stad haters attack me, i understand that there are lots of great horns out there that may be better, but i tried a lot of them and found this one to be the most responsive with my playing. I will definitely check out some different horns as my life goes on, i am not bound to one horn for all my life. So HOT water is best for silver horns? i never knew that, i was just playing it safe before so should i try that? oh and BRASSGUYMIKE i would love to see your list for cleaning horns that would be even more helpful. email it to kyttle_kadiver@yahoo.com. Thanks again to everyone, and keep posting your ideas. -Krazy Kyle with a K

Recently i have been looking at a professional trumpet and my instructor told me that if i have the extra cash to spend it on the reverse constructed mouthpipe. I just want to know what the advantages of having one are; and if any, are there disadvantages? And i'm just curious, how does everyone else clean their horn? I'm just looking for new ideas to add on to my own knowledge. If you own a professional trumpet or other horn what do you do to keep it in great condition? -Kyle
