Most of our show pieces end with a fermata and I can't see the drum major 😞

Mellophone Problems

When you have been playing another instrument for years, and they suddenly put you on a mellophone for marching band season.

one time i was marching a parade and this dad was trying to tell his kid what all the instruments are called and he was like "that's a trombone. that's a trumpet." and then he got to my instrument and hesitated then said "that's a fat trumpet" and i literally started laughing so hard i couldn't finish the fight song

i play mellophone

Mello and French Horn are two totally different things.. working my ass off to sound somewhat decent, but as soon as I miss a pitch, I get shy and.. well damnit, I should know better by now.. :/ Frustrated and going to bed.

Switching back and forth between Mellophone and French Horn is the worst. Practicing Mellophone in the middle of Concert Season is a recipe for an Embouchure Suckfest.
