Band D
efinitions:
Pianissimo
: a chance for one of the lesser known/learned players to have an unscheduled solo
Crescendo
: a reminder that people have been playing to loud
Conduct
or: someone who can follow multiple performers at once
Half St
ep-: what a non-snare drummer or tuba player uses when carrying his loaded case
Beat
: what most drummers feel compelled to do to any non drummer.  up beat is on the head, down beat is under the chin
Cadence
: a chance for the other marchers to rest and drink while the one carrying 2 to 5 times as heavy instruments play on
Music
: complex organization of sound thats set down by composer, misinterpreted by conductor, who is ignored by musicians, who are then ignored by the audience
Joe: Traffic Jam = "I wanna ---- you like an animal!"
all images contained within this site that were not created by me are brought to you by Green Hope Band members, who are so very nice as to leave me alone to work with them.  All original works are brought to you by Colin Richardson, the Letter Q and the Number 12
"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.  He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice.  This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once."
Now, we here at GHDL try and be as forgiving as possible.  However, Einstein, with the above remark, has proven that he is a Big Poopy Head.  So there.
