...sound of a piccolo...

Back in high school, one of our section members discovered that he could fit a French horn mouthpiece inside his tuba mouthpiece. While he played up high, it looked like he was playing the tuba in an ordinary way. As other section members started imitating him, the band's foundation sound was gradually replaced by all sorts of high chirping, such as third trumpet parts, etc. After a spell of sending both puzzled and dirty looks toward tht tuba section, the director caught on, and firmly restored discipline and order.

The younger members of this BBS should only read this, not imitate it. In no way will I be responsible for any band shenanigans or other youthful delinqiencies.

Allen,
who was young at one time
