I can’t believe there isn’t a thread here for office photos, but I can’t find one so better late than never. Post ‘em here.

My office this morning.

Tonight

So, I wouldn’t be absolutely certain of this, but I may be the source of the “here’s my office!” Social media posts. I had a summer gig as a trombonist and principal librarian at a resort. The stage never changed for the entire summer and we had a ton of variety. Since I had to have not only my music, which I’m a typical day had three performances and two rehearsals each with a totally distinct set of music… but also set lists, other musicians music, stage instructions, etc. I built myself a custom shelf that was stage appearance okay to hide some of the chaos. I would put the various folders I had, mutes, mouthpieces, pencils, stand lights, my bow tie, my concert black crocs (nobody noticed ). All that the audience could see was a small box on the stage! But it was attached to the stage and also used space below the risers, so it was quite voluminous. Also had a trombone stand attached, bolted to the stage so rock solid and took up virtually no space.


When I finally finished building it, I took a picture of it and said something to the effect of, “office for the summer!” Because it actually quite resembled an office! The drummer, who was a student at UNT at the time saw it and did something similar. Then I started seeing it all over the place!

Anyway, I might have delusions of grandeur. Butter office that summer was deluxe. I’ll have to see if I can dig that picture up and post it here.

If that's true you need to be beaten about the head and shoulders with sticks and bats until you apologize.

Yes, it's a replica of the White House East Room. We were kinda short on space...

Is that your Greenhoe 88H you're playing there?

Yes, to be precise it's an 88ht with the thinner bell more like the old Elkhart bells.

Compared to my Elkhart and the regular 88ht I have, this one plays even easier - perfect for gigs - but has a bit less of that special character.

About halfway through the Veteran’s Day gigs.

This was the office for a rehearsal of Wellington Opera's season of Tosca last month! So exciting to get the beast out for a proper gig.
