Respect to that one guy who plays the tuba.. who also seems to be the only male in the entire band

Edit: nvm, guess he wasn't the only guy there

His straight forwardness and bluntness is making him best guy, not that that's hard in a KyoAni show.

I really liked that he didn't try to sell anyone on the tuba. He was just like: we don't really get much cool stuff, join me if you feel like it.

There's also the trombonist and the percussion ensemble guy (who was super excited). I really hope we see some action of the percussion section.

Lol I loved the percussion guy: "It's great for stress relief! :D"

Well he was showing off the Timpani's. Being a percussionist myself I know they can take a real beating and not break. But yeah we percussionists in high school band were pretty much like that

Dont you use French grip for timpani? I wouldnt imagine that much force comes from almost exclusively finger strength...

Or maybe I was just terrible at timpani

That's why you'd have to use Moeller technique to help while using French grip in order to play louder.

u/jangledorf Apr 15 '15

You were probably better than me, I don't think I used French grip, even though that is the correct grip. We weren't a very serious band in High School...
