Plum (Matt) there is nothing embarrassing about a piccolo - it sang along with Tubby the Tuba a long time ago - and a very god lip technique is required!

Also - there's a very important piccolo bit in one of the marches we used to play - it might have been towards the end of colonel bogey?????

It has a lot at the end of Stars and Stripes if I remember correctly.

Bassoon had boring bits whatever march we played, thank goodness for bass clef euphonium music. I used to like Belphegor and Standard of St George ... we actually changed notes a few times in those :roll:

Alto parts? I think not! Tenor or bass clefs only!

And less of the didgeridoo! We don't drone :)

I was comparing it to the alto line (not the pitch!) ;)

True, you don't drone...
