Of course, so might plate tectonics. I've given up on trying to figure out Ozric at any level.

About the Baritone (Euphonium) Roger - I wanted to play trombone in fifth grade and so did everyone. The same theory about the French Horn applied for the Baritone. I lugged that around until 10th grade, it was horrible. Having to perform the theme from "The Vikings" movie, and getting it stolen etc....

Indeed. But on the upside, baritone/euphonium wise, at least you weren't subjected to years and years of upbeats courtesy John Phillips Sousa.

I could go on (and have gone on) at great length about his musical incompetence when it comes to french horn parts....

When marching band came along, that was my out....no way I was keeping up with it. Plus the bass clef was not helpful to translate to other instruments. Then I just lost interest.

Funny. I was just the opposite. I enjoyed marching band french horn. I wouldn't want to play baritone (or worse, marching euphonium) on the field, but the FH wasn't so bad.

(the problem with marching euphonium is that, due to the physics of the instrument, on the field it sounds like an elephant in labor -- and that's if you knew what you were doing!).

Now my fifth grader just played Trombone and wants to switch......

Encourage him. Good bone players are hard to find. Good bone players that can actually play below fff are a treasure.
