RaiderLex Posted May 21, 2003 Author Share Posted May 21, 2003 good suggestion Penguin but i think its too hard for me. :P :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffernbus3 Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 How about getting out those Charlie Parker transcriptions? they're quite playable on brass....if you're fast. But be sure to listen to the originals when you're reading over the charts...if you just play the notes it won't sound "right."

Jared_mello Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Vocalise by Rachmaninoff. AAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOORRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH I HATE THAT SONG!!!!! (sorry.....I don't even have any of my own suggestions, either. Whew.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brassguymike Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 Anything you can play while standing on your head will do. Note I&E has never been just about musicianship, it's about showmanship, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCREAMIN'sop Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 From what my judge told me last year, they like variety. Pick a piece that will show all aspects of musicianship and showmanship and you will probably do well. Don't know what piece that is right now though.
