I wish! I keep having the opposite experience. "Trombones, I just need more volume and edge in that section."

Like Dvorak's Finale from the New World symphony. Has anyone actually gotten the hand on that movement recently?

I got that in one small part of Carmina Burana a few years ago. We complied. :biggrin:

I was asked to try out for our HS jazz band, I was to read off the 1st chair part. This was fall of "88. Afterburner was the tune... I was sight reading and doing well. After we got done the saxes (right in front of us) turned around and one said "We didn't know trombone had a part in this piece!" Lack of volume wasn't an issue... lol

About 15-17 years ago a local trumpet teacher and I played a high school graduation in Germany when the band had many seniors graduating and needed a little extra help. We'd both helped out occasionally and the band kids knew us (and our own kids.)

When we sat down, one of the band kids said, "OMG! It's the two loudest brass players in the entire world! I might as well not be here." Pretty sure that quote is verbatim.

Fast forward - the groups I play with are always waving for more, but that's all I've got.
