Does Bunbury have an orchestra?

305 replies

SelfPortraitWithEels · 07/05/2021 14:41

(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?

I can’t play anything, but I’ve always wanted to whack a gong. Can I do that, please?

Thelnebriati · 07/05/2021 20:41

Or whataboutery an Otamatone orchestra?

I can play the violin if I have to but would rather play the squeaky chicken.

I am intrigued by squeaky chickens - mine only make a very judgmental BokBoooook (that's o as in hot, but long, not oooo as in book)

Endoplasmic (sorry for the detailed question, but I have viola playing DS and I lived through DD doing music theory).

When a violist identifies as a violinist, do you also assume that the alto clef really identifies as the treble clef or do you transpose?

@persistentwoman

Looks at the anti triangularists offering olive branches and is somewhat soothed ....
Is that directed at me and my olive branches (oooh ponders, can you get a tune out of olive branches?) ? Because I am in no way anti triangularist, I wanted to be a triangularist but I was excluded. So I did the only thing I could do and offer to play any number of other instruments. Yeah, sure, I can’t actually play any of them, but so what, if you don’t let me join you’ll be hurting my feelings. You vipers.

Whats that Michael Nyman song? MGV 5th Region but with triangles instead of a drum. We could do that, it would be rousing.

Ratatatatattt on the quick side drum! 🥁

Dun dun dunnnn on the tim-pa-ni! 🌋

Ding dong ding on the vib-ra-phone! 🎶

My vibraphone is valid.

Just oft misunderstood!!

@Pandoraslastchance

I can play the recorder. Can I join please?
I don't know if we have any primary school teachers in our ranks, they might want to have the right of veto on recorders.

@Bordois

Actually, I've changed my mind. I'm going to play cowbell.

Hmmm

Can I DJ, please?, stand at the back with my decks and get things going.

I feel sure I can capture that middle school disco vibe if I have flashy lights and a truly shite sound system. I have a total lack of talent and no experience if that helps

Can I get a ‘yeahhh‘.

Olive branch graciously accepted. Smile Although if this is turning into the sort of orchestra that plays actual music with actual right notes I am slowly backing away towards the spectating section...

I learned the violin as a kid, I suspect if I tried it now it would be pretty much indistinguishable from a squeaky chicken.

DDog had one of those but managed to desqueak it. I think he's got a squeaky hedgehog somewhere but in his old age seems fonder of plaintive singing.

Are there guitars in Orchestras?

In Station 11 the Travelling Symphony has a guitar section. One of the named characters is the fifth or sixth guitar.

ErrolTheDragon · 07/05/2021 19:19

I've got a penny whistle. Also a didgeridoo, made out of cardboard tubes when DD was in primary which is surprisingly pleasing (though I think I'd need to stand on a box to play it).

EndoplasmicReticulum · 07/05/2021 19:18

But am really a viola player identifying as a violinist.

TofuDelights · 07/05/2021 19:13

MsFogi · 07/05/2021 19:13

This orchestra needs a special flag.
