audiodave Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 When I was at the Lawrence MA show, on 8/2- Cavies played the slide whistle and people laughed. I guess they were entertained by it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
posaune10 Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Well, if this is what all we can find to complain about these days, then I would say that Drum Corps is alive and well!!! When alto lines start consisting of 8 mellos and 8 slide whistles, then, by all means, complain! ...please....!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Boo Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Its a legit instrument that is also legal.*shrug* When slide whistles are outlawed, only outlaws will have slide whistles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl306 Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 (edited) Slide whistles???????? Why not get rid of trumpets? They're loud, annoying, frack when players try to hit a high note that they can't possibly hit, and they're not manly enough. Loud screamers have gotten gimmicky. Not to mention EVERYONE uses them! :P Edited September 6, 2006 by Carl306 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbc03 Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Someone in a corps should learn how to play music on a slide whistle and include it in the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyboy Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 How about some respect for slide whistles? I am the president of the American Slide Whistle Association (ASWA) and we are a very serious bunch. Anyone interested in coming to our annual festival please contact me personally. Especially if you are a dumb blonde woman who gets turned on by slide whistles. Please be over 18. Check out some of our sample sounds at Whistle Samples Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
