Here's to the Band - Intro

This was handed to me by a trumpet player about twenty-five years ago. I figure it must have been rattling around some music school somewhere but I've never seen it anywhere. It made me laugh though...

Jibberish. 7 flats? Somebody had some time on their hands to pull this prank. I do like the zzzzzzzz at the final bar. I take it as a (rest)? You should make a poster out of it and hang it in your room.

That's hilarious! You really have to read it carefully to get all the humor in there, but it's great. 18 flats and a sharp, 128th notes, "allegro and moderato," "rediculouso," etc... Thanks for sharing!

That is good. I had never seen that one before. Gonna make a copy to annoy my friends with.

If you dig that sort of humor be sure and check out "John Stump's Death Waltz."

Coolies! I'm trying to decide if my favorite section is the sudden shift to bass clef right before part E or the 174 measures of rest "apassionatto" at F. Brilliant!

I love the fact that there is a single 128th note on the 175th measure and then the section repeats.
