If a T-Rex were to enter a trombone solo competition (on alto, of course) what piece or pieces would he or she select?

I already have two choices, but I'll wait.

[BGuttman]

"One Note Samba", but omitting the bridge.

[DDoghouse]

Hey Bruce!!!

True, that would be a bridge too far.

Hope you are well!

On alto? I'm thinkin' Contra!

[Crazy4Tbone86]

I am assuming that the T-Rex competitors are playing alto trombones because of their short arms?!? In that case, would the T-Rex competitors be allowed to use hand slide extenders (like the Extendabone)?

Let’s take this one step further……. Should the T-Rex competitors be required to use specific materials for their equipment? What material would increase the chances that the instrument and the hand slide extender will show up with the T-Rex fossils one or two million years from now? Carbon Fiber? Certainly not brass!

Excuse me, this is a performance question, not an equipment question.

Thanks for understanding.

[DDoghouse]

All right, I'll give you one.

He/she might play Carnivore of Venice.

Please don't hate me.

[mbarbier]

Wouldn't she play T-Rex by Mark Philips?

Or too on the nose?

[Crazy4Tbone86]

Why do I feel this thread has similarities to the SNL skit when Will Ferrel played Harry Caray? At 2:51..... "It's a simple question doctor. Would you eat the moon if it were made of ribs?"



"It's a simple question everyone. What piece would the T-Rex select?"

[Posaunus]

He/she might play Carnivore of Venice.

Are there dinosaur fossils in northeastern Italy?

[BGuttman]

He/she might play Carnivore of Venice.

Are there dinosaur fossils in northeastern Italy?

How about the Roman Carnivore Festival?

How about the Roman Carnivore Festival?

That's a little farther south.

[calcbone]

If he had a 36H or something with a B-flat attachment, he could play the Wagenseil without needing to reach very far out on the slide…

[DDoghouse]

Rhaptorsy in Blue?

[DDoghouse]

Or, she could just play a scale: Do, re, mi, fossil, la, si, do

[DDoghouse]

If it were a jazz competition, he might play Giant Steps

[Mr412]

Bang A Gong? See what I did there?

[harrisonreed]

But a T-Rex doesn't have lips. Or a functional brain. Or a concurrent timeline in which trombones have been invented by humans.

Trick question! Next slide.

[mbarbier]

But a T-Rex doesn't have lips. Or a functional brain.

As I've learned from the dinosaur books for my kid... Trex (and other non beaked dinosaurs) having or not having lips is a very contentious subject in paleontology circles.
