I love this poster, which I first saw at Charles Noble’s blog. Gee, kind of implies that every musician in the orchestra matters, you know?
Maybe everyone does matter!
AND … If you go to the orchestra’s Facebook page you’ll see one of my favorite oboists, Albrecht Mayer!
+ a couple dozen superheroic admin. One of whom was an oboist, actually, in the case of Berlin.
& that’s what it takes to have a great orchestra, yes?!
Everyone? Even the trombones?!
;-)
Well, okay … so they put the trombones in the picture, but we all know the truth! ;-)
… and Mike … which Mike? Hmmm. Now I’m gonna be guessing!
It’s OSJ chorus Mike. Who has no beef with trombones, but knows that they’re usually the butt of orchestra jokes.
Thanks, Mike! I was guessing it was you. I just know a bunch of people with that name. :-)
Well, trombones are the butt of the wind section jokes, but have you ever googled viola jokes? They really get hit the hardest!
