| Re: Dropped mutes during performances
I fog the bell. Good advice on licking the corks. I'll do that next time.
In "The Secret Garden" there is a lot of Harmon. My harmon is very old and kept coming out during rehearsals. I decided to buy a new Harmon for the show. It stuck well.
The trombone player sits next to me. On one song the lady is singing the final notes and the trombone plays a "naked" solo fanfare to end the song. It was his big chance his senior year. He stuffs in the mute, brings up his horn, the soloist sings, and the mute solo to the floor occurs. He plays the fanfare while the mute rattles on the floor. For that moment, he was the star of the show.
