Does Bunbury have an orchestra?

(Also, can just anyone start a Bunbury thread or do you have to be a Weighty Feminist? Apologies if so, I will retreat tugging my forelock.)

Someone mentioned the cornet. Can I bagsy the kettle drum?

@TheWeeDonkey

Well I was banned from playing the violin but I could identify as a violinist.

As a wise man once said "I can play all the right notes, just not in the right order" 😉

I thought that was Eric Morecambe, actually. Grin

I would like to play the squeaky chicken please.

I have a swanee whistle. A bit limited in the classics, but I reckon I could get it in there somehow.

I ❤️ you lot. Let's join Braclay's Bonk and buy our own tootler

How about a Bunbury Vegetable Orchestra. Or maybe we can do something similar with lemon drizzle cake?

MsAwesomeDragon · 07/05/2021 17:41

I play the flute, but really fancy the oboe (I like that it sounds like a duck!). Orchestras are always looking for oboists, so it shouldn't matter that I can't actually play, right?

I'll just clap along, more or less in time.

Gatecrashing the thread to offer you my lever harp-playing son... Unfortunately I was a percussionist in my youth, and you already have plenty of those!

Okay, we can have more triangles. I've got some more in the back, I'll go have a look.
I'm looking forward to the triangle solos Grin

Oh, I say.

Bagsy the conch.

Millie Jackson Phuck You Symphony would be a good warm up sesh.

@TinselAngel

Do harps have pedals like a bike or pedals like a piano?

Oh how I wish it could be pedals like a bike! That would become my preferred form of transport 😀

MelissaVonStressel · 07/05/2021 17:14

Will there be dancing? Because I can only do tambourine like Bez Grin I was not popular at Monkey Music, and not just because I didn't know the difference between photos of violins, violas, cellos and double basses which had been resized so they were all the same size.

How about a version of the plane with which the hens escaped in Chicken Run?

With glissando harp soundtrack.

Kotatsu · 07/05/2021 17:10

Oh I didn't disbelieve you at all, just wanted to hear the gory details from someone who plays the harp :D

I always got the triangle at primary school. I was desperate to play the tambourine, but it was inevitably the cute girls who got those. And were stood in the front row waggling them, whilst I and the other nerds and misfits dinged away at the back.

Bitter? Me?

I miss Bunbury even though I mainly lurked there it was a blessed escape. Unfortunately my ambition overreaches my musical ability too far for me to join the orchestra unless we can have a triangle section.

BreastedBoobilyToTheStairs · 07/05/2021 16:59

I'm teaching myself the flute if you're in need of some discordant squeaking alternated with airy whispers?
