Hi List,
Looking for thoughts, experiences, answers to playing
the show Sunday in the Park with George.
For those that are not familiar with this show or the
artist: The horn, at times, represents the Bugle
played in Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande
Jatte by Georges Seurat.

Our band did 1812 a season or two ago, using the sound system and some
pre-recorded booms stored on a laptop. Our conductor auditioned the boom
collection in his car during his commute, and decided it would be funny to
do so with the windows rolled down while in traffic at stoplights.

75's would have been nice, I have only performed with 105mm (Army Signal
Battalion) and 155 mm guns. They both produce pressure waves that exceed
what you would normally use for playing, so you actually feel the air rush
into your lungs.
My favorite indoor performance was at a state
I took part in a wonderful indoor performance of 1812 in Stoke many years
ago.
We were on the stage. The audience were on the balcony and crammed into
maybe the back twenty rows of the auditorium. Between us and them were ranged

Yes, I know that 1812 was a political statement, but not about the
U.S.

The troops were decimated piecemeal while the emperor got home safely.
Sound familiar?

This whole connection between The 1812 Overture and July 4 is an
interesting one. I can't get it out of my mind that Arthur Fiedler
might have been responsible, or at least guilty of greatly
strengthening the connection, but with a few minutes of internet
research I can't find any information pro
Help me out, please.
I'm a pro in Northern Virginia. I'd like to know of someone in the area who
has a Berg french horn that I could play for 15minutes or so. Or, dang,
