Relax Liad. It's just the weird American/Canadian humor thing showing up again.

I know what the poster is talking about. Thanks to a very good teacher, I'm learning quite a bit about the orchestral repetoire, including a bunch of new music symbols used in classical literature. Things such as 'bat wings' for double sharps, odd meter timing like 5/8, Trompette in Re...etc.

Sigh....so, now I need to put that knowledge to use which means leaving the community band and joining the Pops Orchestra. Which, because about 1/3 of the members are 'pro' means they are very good, I'll have to study harder. Which means I'll learn more----and I'll probably have to start collecting more horns. Definitely a 'C', probably a 'D' as well, although I've always liked the trumpets in 'G'........

See what I mean?.............
