A fair amount of trombone action in the Imperial March.

Re: May the Fourth music
Is it weird that "May the 4th" gets more notice than actual May Day?

In the US, maybe, but elsewhere in the world May 1 is the universal Labor Day. Celebrated like the 1st Monday in September here in the US.robcat2075 wrote: ↑Sun May 04, 2025 8:18 pm Is it weird that "May the 4th" gets more notice than actual May Day?
In Communist countries it's celebrated with a parade like Trump wants for his birthday.

May 4th should be designated as Paul Desmond Day.

Re: May the Fourth music
I had nightmare about the main theme in Star Wars" Start with high F unison in all three trombones and then a double tongue four 16 notes. I have to admit I left the beginning to the two tenor trombones. I wonder if anyone would implement that in the bass trombone audition?robcat2075 wrote: ↑Sun May 04, 2025 12:16 pm A fair amount of trombone action in the Imperial March.
They would really need the “May the Force be with you.”
Anyway, I think John Williams is the greatest composer of our time.
