Or you could do what Rafael Mendez' father did: don't sell anything, form your own band! Make shoelessness part of the look, like Canadian Brass and their white athletic shoes. You've got enough for 2 quintets already, go for 3! - thereby increasing the odds of one of them making it and supporting everybody. Or of covering 3 pitches simultaneously, making it harder for the cops to shut everybody down at once. More horns, more music, more little pills, more joy! (Who says you can't get good advice on the Internet?)

(And this thread was moved to the Horns?? forum?)
