10 Reasons why you should play the trombone??

1. We think we are better than everyone else (but that's true!)

2. We don't suck!

3. We don't know what it feels like to lose!

4. We can take on the rest of the band and win!

5. We can take on the WHOLE football team and still win!

6. Our names have the word slick written all over them!

7. We enjoy carrying around lightning rods!

8. Our wrong notes are always right (but a trombonist is NEVER wrong!)

9. All the music we play becomes a trombone with band accompaniment arrangement!

10. We're still better than everyone else!! (with no doubt about it!)

*A special thought*

sack - but \'sak - bet \ n. saquer to pull and bouter to push (1533) : the medieval and Renaissance trombone.


*About the Trombone*

The Trombone is an important brass instrument. The Trombone is related to the trumpet :( . In fact the name "trombone" means large trumpet :( .
The normal "sizes" are the tenor trombone and the bass trombone. The alto trombone is not used but is common while the contra bass trombone, almost only exists in the music of Wagner. Today's bass trombones uses a longer slide and wider bell. - Johan Tjader


*Low Brass*

There is no other section in the band that is better, louder, cooler, and more musical than the low brass section!! Like we always say, "TROMBONES KICK
brASS !!"
