Ok sorry for the delay!
The following sets out what is required of you in order to enter this contest.
You will probably notice that it is basically the same as before, it is a good way of doing things as setting standard questions will only serve to end up with so many correct answers and entries that we would have to pick the winner out of a hat.
1. Tell us how you would improve a trumpet with a new feature or design.
2. Give us a theme for a trumpet!
For example "THE SPIDERMAN" maybe we would then cut out braces in the shape of cobwebs? and spray the horn red and black?
For these first 2 objectives please remember that we DO NOT yet have access to technology that you may have seen on Star Trek (The next Generation),Stargate or any of your favourite sci-fi shows.
Therefore please try to ensure that your ideas/suggestions do not force me to contact NASA for help.
3. (back to school time!) Write a short story using each of the following at least once.
A. A TYPE OF MUSICAL INSTRUMENT
B. A COUNTRY OR CITY
C. A FORM OF TRANSPORT
D. AN ITEM OF CLOTHING
E. A FOOD
4. And last but not least!
Apart from your brilliant answers to the above, please tell us just why you feel that you should win this contest.
Yes 3 and 4 are probably a waste of your time and energy! but i am a bit evil like that
THE PRIZE! We at Eclipse will hand build a Bb trumpet for the winner, keeping as close to his/her desires as we possibly can while still keeping the horn sounding amazing.
Shipped to anywhere in the world!
If i have missed anything then i am sure you will inform me.
All i have left to say is GOOD LUCK to everyone.
