I really don't remember much music from high school, other than football season stuff. Amazing how fast the fight song came back to me. Fingerings and all;)

Also the Star Spangles Banner.

@administrator this band is great. I love their sound.

@administrator said in Synergy Brass Quintet:

Has anybody heard from these guys lately? I heard them in 2008 and was fairly impressed. All the information I can find online is now over a decade old.

Wiki says "WAS".... ☹ .

They were, hopefully are still excellent!

That's cool. Definitely not the life for me. I thrive on stability and routine. Sound like a pro musician? I didn't think so!

But, all props to her for making it work.

That's interesting, because I never played in, or supervised, a quintet that had external musical directors. That's both academic and professional.

@Jolter

have not PMed in this site yet -- but i need to get the score first anyway -- local arranger. Glad to hear of your interest. Please advise of any guidance on PMs

Funny! Much appreciated. Well played, too.

@administrator
Excellent! I like how they place a heavy responsibility on beginning and ending notes and phrases and a healthy respect for dynamics. Good listening and great to learn from.

And the notes are still coming out of his horn after he takes it from his face.☺ ☺ ☺

FWIW, the virus lock-down hasn't affected my practicing at all. Other stuff, big time. But practicing and music-related activities. - no.
