That was a close call but solo avoided guys mission successful
#it was suuuch a close call i truly believed i would have to do it for a minute there#my friend is back so i can get 3rd trumpet again so obviously i was doing that#and the conductor just keeps giving me pages and pages and pages#and you gotta understand trumpets 1 and 2 had 2 pages each#i had 5#one of which was entirely an impro solo and another a written solo#the situation was dire#then i changed papers with the 1st trumpet bc he was like well if you wanna change you gotta change everything#(no one wants to be 1st trumpet in here hes the only one that tolerates it lol)#anyways then i saw what i had to play and like it wasnt thaaat high for 1st trumpet#but the thing about 1st trumpet is that you cant even do the octave lower trick so i definitely could not hit those notes#so i almost immediately gave it back lol#finally i managed to sell him the impro solo for half a beer the next time we go take smth#then i discovered the written solo while we were listening to the song and i was like fuuuck shit shit fuck#anyways the conductor saw my obvious distress like i was literally panicking#and then told my friend to change papers with me#yeah the one who was trumpet 2#anyways my grand plan totally backfired on me im trumpet 2 and i had to go through all that#closer than i would have liked ngl#(the 1st trumpet still kept the solo bc imagine wanting a solo but somehow he kinda likes it)#anyways this might be high but its not the fucking bullshit it was going to be lol#mine#life#music
