How old are we talking? I know that in winter of 1987-88 Madison learned some ballet. That was a while ago.

This is a great mute. I hIghly recommend it. Inexpensive. No batteries needed.

So, may I assume there is no longer a Windows mobile app available?

Yes I realized this. My corps director was saying that he didn't get why this was happening we never had this problem before.
I get that it sucks. For all of the old stuff we want to see, there are issues. You would think that audio recordings would at least be safe, but alas, you can't get even get a compulsory mechanical license if the arrangements used were unlicensed. DCI, and others, seem to have hinted that there may be a retroactive deal on the horizon that will allow audio and maybe even video to be distributed again. Let's hope so.
To quote Everett McGill in Oh Brother Where Art Thou, "We're in a bit of a tight spot!"

Something must have changed in the copyright laws in recent years. We didn't have this problem before.
Nothing has recently changed in the law.
What has changed is that DCI is following it to the letter. Or, for the better, for the activity.

It has a threaded rod that goes into the horn, and the ring. It has a nut that has ridges for hand tightening between the two. It is likely that the nut is so tight that you will need to use a tool to loosen it.
Unscrew the entire thing from the horn. Then loosen the nut carefully with pliers. If the rod comes out of the ring, when you remove the nut, screw it back into the thumb ring. The rod needs to go into the ring first, and it needs to be tight. BUT don't crush the threads on the rod. So use an old leather belt or work gloves between the pliers and the rod when tightening it to the thumb ring.
Then make sure the nut is on the rod, but not too close to the thumb ring to allow for adjustment of ring orientation. When the ring is in the position you want, and the rod ALMOST all the way in to the horn, tighten the nut down to the horn and it will keep it in place.

I think this is the answer...
Statute of limitations on copyright violations is between three and five years.
So the window for both civil and criminal suits of those unlicensed arrangements has expired.

Audio recordings are released under a statutaory (compulsory) mechanical license.
There is a standard fee per song and it is very affordable. You pay after the product is SOLD, not created.
And you just pay the Harry Fox company. So pretty easy to take care of.

You should immediately stop attempting to spin your trumpet.
Leave that move to the tubs.
We're professionals.
Stick to playing your fancy "Melodies" and parts that are "Heard".
And maybe move a #### valve slide while you are at it.
We yearn for movable slides.
#### you all.

If manufactures ever figure out how to go back to the "S" leadpipes of the G-bugle days, they'll have a winner on their hands.
They already have that, attached to the best marching horn out there.

I would guess that it will changed to grass. It is a soccer stadium after all.

Sure thing. I can either answer or point you to the right person to help you.

Interesting conversation regarding Yamaha.
Recent ones appear to have nylon valve guides rather then the intricately machined metal ones mine are fitted with, for instance. Mine show no real signs of wear. There are concerns with the nylon wearing and snapping on the newer ones.
Yes, the nylon wears out. But it costs around 6 bucks to replace them. And takes 5 minutes once every three years. And they are very quiet. So I believe it is actually a design improvement to use them.
Some of the Baris I've seen use a Euphonium shank- which leaves me apprehensive. They seem to be a bit too spread on the lower end of the instrument and not as focused and agile as I'd personally like if I were to play one for keeps but I've heard they've worked on correcting those issues. Usually, when people complain to Yamaha, they do eventually listen and respond.
The Yamaha marching "Baritone" has a .563 bore. The british-style concert baritones are .504. I think where the confusion starts is in calling it a baritone. It is actually closer to a hybrid euphonium. So a large shank mouthpiece receiver is the correct size for this instrument.
Cadets, Vanguard, and Cavaliers only marched Yamaha baritones this season. No euphs. Not needed.
Just some thoughts.

I thought of this weeks ago and just forgot to post it.
Have the part made and have a competent tech fit it to your horn.

Any idea why this feature is unavailable while logged in?

After reading Mikes post and thinking about it, the people IMO who should be the most upset are the members who might not hear a full recording of their show.
They can hear the recordings. Just not see the video of the performance.

I have said this before and have taken flack but so what.
Buy yourself a used marching euph. Buy it for a low price. Learn to play it well. Don't wreck it.
When you are done with it, sell it on to someone else.
Guess how much money you will lose? Little to none.
The key is to buy it for the right price. It is an short-term invetment. Not intended to make money mind you.
But you will get your money back, and you will be adept at handling and playing a marching euph.
Sounds like a win/win.

When I saw the title of the thread, I thought, well DUH, of course you polish your cymbals before you sell them so you can get top dollar for them!
Conversely, I also figured that they were cheap Indian-made cymbals like the "Brass" trombones and trumpets they were selling on Ebay a few years ago.
(I know they are still sold there, but their selling descriptions have become a bit more sophisticated in the meantime.)
