FATHER

I STARTED FIDDLING WITH BASS CLARINET FOR MARCHING BAND

AAAAGGHH

DO YOU THINK A FATHER WILL TAKE HIS YOUNG BOY INTO THE CITY TO SEE YOU IN A MARCHING BAND???????

that’s really cool tho. i have a pretty serious distaste for a regular Bb clarinet but christ bass clarinets are fucking hardcore my guy.

is that your first woodwind? i kind of hope it’s not bc you’re gonna need some serious breath control and work up a killer embouchure.

regardless, your lips and cheeks are gonna be sore, numb, and tingly as fuck~🎃

edit: tenor sax reeds are like identical to bass clarinet, so check these guys out. i use a #3 for my sax but if you’re just starting on bass clarinet i’d go for a #2 or #1.5 imo.

(for other’s reference, first is a Bb clarinet that’s about a 3lbs and close to 2ft and the second is a bass clarinet which is 3ft and 15lbs)

We may not be Macy's or Charlotte but Toronto's Santa Claus Parade is the oldest. It was started in 1905 by Eatons. Sadly, a cultural piece of our historic past is in danger thanks to lack of funding. This year may be its last. Thanks to all the people who organized and participated in this year's parade. It takes a lot of hard work, dedication and personal sacrifice to put on such an event. Our parade reflects the various cultures that go into making Toronto such a multicultural city. The parade is representative of all of our people in Toronto, the GTA and even outside of it. Thanks everyone.

Bands, The Best Thing

Drum major on the scene. You know my love for the St. Augustine’s Marching 100. I don’t think I could have much clearer in yesterday’s post. They aren’t the only band. There are other high schools who field great bands. They can, and often do, out play the Marching 100. While the bands are warming up they often face other and try to defeat them. It gets intense, with guys like the one in the…

How to Watch the New York City St. Patrick’s Day Parade

A sea of green will move through New York City on Monday as bagpipes blow in the 264th annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Run entirely by volunteers, the New York event was first held in 1762, making it the oldest St. Patrick’s Day parade in the world, according to its website. It’s also the largest, drawing about 150,000 marchers and nearly two million spectators each year, the site says. The…

Toronto has nothing compared to Belfast's but here goes: Happy St. Paddy's Day The weather was a typical Irish Spring day; overcast, sunny, downpour, somewhat sunny, downpour 😂 All in all it was a good parade.

On Mardi Gras Day

Unfortunately, this post can never be as long as I’d like. Because. These are older pictures that I posted just to commemorate the day. The weather in New Orleans is so terrible that most events have been cancelled. Only Zulu walks at 7am and Rex follows at 9am. Both routes are shortened. All walking parades are cancelled. All brass bands are cancelled. The Mid-City truck parade is…
