Memphis Symphony Valentine pops should be sort of fun.

Post by bloke »

Unfortunately, most everything is scored for four trombones PLUS a tuba, though the arrangements are basically for a Nelson Riddle type of orchestration - which is basically a big band (yes, five saxes) plus strings and a few orchestral winds. I love playing the fourth trombone book on those types of arrangements on the F cimbasso, but it looks like I'm going to be playing mostly donuts on the tuba...I'll still enjoy listening.

Your cimbasso thread makes more sense to me now…

Did one of these on NYE 2023. Got called last minute to cover the bass bone parts too. The bass bone brought at least 5 different mutes as sometimes we covered the same thing. I’m glad I used F tuba with mute instead of trying to get a cimbasso because then I would have probably had to use the multitude of mutes
