Re: Post humorous trumpet experiences here.

Well...I used to play at a Renniasance Festival. I learned several things...

- The bell will fall off a kitbashed fanfare trumpet, especially if little kids or pretty girls are watching.

- Being an employee makes patrons want to chat with you...like the lady that insisted on telling us about her many peircings. Some of which were somewhat unconventional...

- At least 10 times a day someone will say "Hey, you guys blow," or "Here come the horny men!" THey all think they are very original.

- Most Important! If you choose to wander around the fair between jousts, always carry your trumpet, otherwise you just look like a weirdo in a silly costume.

Jason.

Almost forgot...The Jousters (who are large men) will NOT be amused if you decide to substitute the Looney Tunes theme in place of the victory fanfare!
