cthurricane Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hey Ray You palyed a baritone? was that a single valve, I was wondering if you remembered the closed notes and don't forget FFF (Genaro 101) The Park City Pride is a great caring organization.

rayfallon Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) Hey RayYou palyed a baritone? was that a single valve, I was wondering if you remembered the closed notes and don't forget FFF (Genaro 101) The Park City Pride is a great caring organization. Dude, I was born playing a baritone, which didn't make my mom happy at all (especially as I was 10 lbs. 13 oz. without the horn and she was this tny little Irish chick.) Yes I did play a one valve G-D, slip slide Getzen for a couple years - then a G-D with F rotor bass-baritone as it was known, then the teenie-weenie Getzen contra bass. I only started playing a trombone my junior year of High School (which was in the year 324 BC - the BC part was weird as I went to Catholic School - still makes m head hurt trying to figure it out.) After the military Sun gave me a Smith bari - I think whoever made it was embarrassed to put their real names on it - like checking into a motel in NJ for a few hours - that sort of Smith - then just baris. Open notes, valve notes - they're all notes. As to Genero 101 - I used to teach that course, remember?

cthurricane Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I know the feeling, when I started I had to practice at home in my closet or go up into the woods, between the animals howling and the parents hollering it was a little difficult getting started but drum corps got me out of the projects and taught me discipline and respect. The friendships that have been developed over the years is priceless. I hope to see you at one of the Pride Camps this spring; just ask for Bill (Third Bari) a part of the PCP Florida crew SOMF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troubadorgg Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Reminder- stop by this Thursday night or spend a little more time this Sunday. Hear some new music and see old friends. Or even better yet make some new ones! Everyone is welcome. (We even have a new Cafe' opening. What's better than that). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOMF Hey, it's just good to hear that you're out of the closet... (barum chi) (did I say that?) I was thinking about some of the stuff I read online about the corps today - for instance, the Palumbo Brothers, 3 of the best guys you'll ever meet in drum corps - and Tony one of the best percussion teachers I've ever come in contact with. And if that were not enough, you've got Bob Wilcox, who is just one of the smartest guys I've ever met on the subject of drum corps. He just seriously gets it. I can't tell you how many times I would come in with an idea or an approach or a suggestion and Bob would just look at me with that "I'm gonna show you this ONE MORE TIME" look and explain why it wouldn't work, or at least what I had to do to make it work, and he was virtually always right. (Couldn't roll worth a poop, but... that's not true folks, it's a private joke) You have an embarrassment of riches just in the percussion staff!!! I'd love to stop down, and hope I get the chance (although it's hard enough to get my wife's permission just to go to my own rehearsals! Did I say that?)
