Hands on the Horns

[bigdaddy]

How did or does your corps hold its horns..

This brings to mind the Skyriders and their method, or how Star used to grab onto the valve casings of their K-90 contras..

Do tell..

When I was w/ the Gmen, we held the tubing on the side. They have since switched to the casing. I have tried this and it really rips your shoulder up.

I go the ala cavies way, but to be honest, I had to pick up my horn to see which I did because it has become so habitual that I dont even think about it anymore.

I played contra. One of those Yamaha jobs with the G crook. But the way we carried our horns was all jacked up because we had like 5 different kinds of horns on the line. I used to get yelled at by the staff all the time becuase I would hold my horn backwards since the crook was in the way of holding the horn by the valve casings.

Actually, almost all the time, Cadets have both hands over the valves. Vanguard holds the valve casing MUCH more than Cadets do.
