Craigmeister:
Despite all the bravado that goes on in brass playing (or perhaps because of it), I'm inclined to recommend a reference to the more refined side of brass playing. A favorite axiom up here at U of M is simply "It's about song and wind." Whether spoken very dramatically to oneself in a practice room at 3 a.m., written at the top of your music as a reminder, or reemphasized week after week in studio class, it's what kickass brass playing is all about.
See you in TYBB ^_^
