And I bet each of the timpanist or contras could all eat a 'Barrel' (21 pieces) by themselves.

year1buick Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I got excited for a second that we might be talking about a John Carpenter show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That commercial is still better than the entire 8 episodes of Clash of the Corps. The only reason the euph (I think it was a euph...) player got to snag the kids chicken is because they didn't have quads back then. The quads always get in the most trouble.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a significant crossover between low brass and quads players in that way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were a blast to watch though. IIRC, Pioneer rose out of that merger. Why did I think you marched there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
