For you bronies: when you have a music instrument to play with (i.e. violin, flute, trumpet, xylophone, drums, or the percussion set) and also the piano, what songs do you play for the recital/concert? You may share your thoughts here if you like!

Let me see if I can remember what we're currently playing...

 

Christmas Collage

Christmas Favorites

Carol of the Bells

 

The Barber of Seville Overture - Rossini (my favorite by far)

Waltz from Swan Lake - Tchaikovsky

 

I know we have to play Christmas music and all, but all three of these I have played in previous years... And to be blunt, none of those three are appealing in the least. I'm not blaming the director and am grateful to be in the orchestra, but I'm sure we could find something more exciting. Maybe there just isn't anything at his disposal. lol

Thank you for that advice in this thread, Cody. Also, what kind of music do you play for the concert (if you have an instrument to play with)?

[Stone Cold Steve Jobs 22,507]

A set designer i once knew told me about this rehearsal one time.an actor was wearing a lapel mic which was transmitting to the speakers and had an impressive range. He just finished a particularly important part of the recital and without warning ran out of the theater to a bathroom just around the bend to pee. The problem was he forgot to take off the lapel mic, so the sound of him urinating was broadcast in the theater. Everyone there that day was crying laughing.

 

I had to throw that out there. Sorry.
