FieldofBlueDreams Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Start thinking about rookie talent night now :P thats the best one so far!! another tip: you can't buy "long bus ride beverages" in San Antonio on sunday... so... take care of business before you get there or you may be disappointed. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daedalus707 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Keep your mouth shut and LISTEN. You think you know things... you're wrong. Also, don't suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 never sit in front of a drummer. I disagree. As a two-year horn line veteran of riding a percussion bus, I think it's actually more interesting. I talked to a group of people I don't normally get to spend a lot of time with. I have more insight on what a clean drum line sounds like. I'd otherwise have no idea because I usually only listen to the brass in shows. Sectionals on the bus are not as annoying as I think people make them out to be. You get used to it, and usually you're too tired to care anyways. Cheap entertainment. I might just sign up for the percussion bus again this summer because I don't know what it's like on the horn line bus, ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneanddone06 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Don't be the guy/girl that doesn't know their music. Do you homework and practice your parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a drummer so always rode the drum bus but my bus partner was a horn player and always rode the drum bus and loved it. He was the only horn player riding the drum bus (as my bus partner again) when the alumni corps rode from our "last supper" to the stadium. It was very very cool after 30 years! All that said, the drum bus can be a pain in the arse if you're not used it. After a while though you'll be able to sleep or read a book with the constant rat a tat tat going on.

jake_the_hydra Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 they'll find one for you... think of what someone who sucks at life would do in your situation, and then promptly and confidently do the opposite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashhelmi36 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Is there actually a talent night? What if I have no special talents? :-/ Just keep in mind, they're actually not looking for talent. Oh, we had some hilarious ones at Mystikal last year... and then there was mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
