Let's have a DU Lounge Parade, What instrument would you play? Me ---flute. Please pick one you would like to play.

[debm55]

[FakeNoose]

1. Glockenspiel

The only musical instrument I can play is a piano, due to endless lessons in my girlhood. However pianos don't lend themselves to parade marching, so I guess a glockenspiel is the next best thing.

[debm55]

2. Good. we have a glockenspiel and flute. Any other instruments??????

[shrike3]

3. Clarinet n/t

[debm55]

4. Good, we will add a clarinet to our marching parade.

[TreasonousBastard]

5. Bass drum or Sousaphone

[debm55]

7. Do You think you can do two, if not please pick one. TY

[TreasonousBastard]

9. OK, the drum.

[3catwoman3]

6. Flute and piccolo.

When I was in the marching band in high school, (65-69) there were no music holders for flutes and piccolos, so we had to memorize everything.

there weren’t many of us in the marching band, so I think we were only in existence for 2 seasons, or maybe only one.

[debm55]

8. Do you think you can do two? If not please pick one. Thank you.

[3catwoman3]

10. Piccolo

We will have to play Starts and Stripes Forever so I can do the fantastically fun piccolo part. I can still hu it in my head.

[debm55]

11. Our band is growing---flute, glockenspiel, clarinet, Bass Drum, and a piccolo, bagpipes, trombone, tuba, cymbals

[rurallib]

12. bagpipes!

[debm55]

15. Welcome to the band!

24. Believe it or not but I once witnessed a

marching orchestra! Violins & Violas are easy but they had these weird rolling contraptions for the Cellos and Basses. It is a site I will never forget.....its also a sound I will never forget!

[debm55]

29. Alright he can come in. How about you???

[Paladin]

16. Trombone.

Used to know how to play one, and pretty well, at that. Just give me a little practice time, to get my lip back.

[debm55]

[debm55]

34. That's fine. Coronet it is --badly or not.

[LakeArenal]

28. My first thought: Jew's Harp

Known as a “Jew's Harp” for the last few hundred years in European cultures, this version is commonly thought of as a distortion of jaw or from the Old English word for the instrument gewgaw. There is little evidence connecting this specific instrument to the jewish people, but the name stuck for hundreds of years.Jul 2, 2019
https://www.archaicroots.com › the-...
The Jaw Harp (jew's harp or mouth harp) - Archaic Roots

[debm55]

35. Mouth Harp it is--Welcome the the parade.

[LakeArenal]

[debm55]

49. Is that from Mongolia?

[Polly Hennessey]

33. Violin. Instrument I played as a child🎻

I play a mean version of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.

It’s all my mother’s fault. 😇

[debm55]

39. You can join Walley in the violin section. We will put on a float so you can sit on chairs..

[thatcrowwoman]

36. I've marched miles with my clarinet, so I'll march beside Shrike. Unless you need a drum major to lead the parade?

I’m no majorette, but I used to could do some fancy baton twirling and flourishing.
Alas, I no longer have the white patent leather gogo boots.

Do we get those OG band hats with the big feathery bit on top?
Being DU, I bet we don’t have uniforms, but do we have colors?
Blue, right?!
🕊🩵💫🎶thatcrowwoman

[debm55]

37. And we do have to pick a song. Do you want to be Drum Major? it's yours.

---mascot ,,, blue is the color of uniforms.

[thatcrowwoman]

42. Cool. Now we need a drum line to keep us in rhythm.

As my brother the once-upon-a-drummer would say, “To the world!”
Don’t know if that one was just our marching band or if it’s widely known.

Any rattlers in the house?
🕊🩵💫🎶thatcrowwoman

[LudwigPastorius]

65. My marching days are over.

I did my time in high school.

Four years of 6:30AM practice on an asphalt "field" carrying a heavy hunk of brass will cure you of any rose-colored, The Music Man illusions of the fun of marching band.

(Fortunately, when I got to college, I didn't have to march to get a music degree.)

[debm55]

67. LudwigPastorius, we will put you on the float. and you can pass out Joe for 2024 flyers out. chair is included.

The drum, added to the percussion section, comes with a half-dozen marching, singing, dancing, chanting devotees in saris and dhotis.
A good parade is participatory without an audience; and obviously rain-free.
