Orchestras aren't "ear friendly" workplaces.

Unless you sit in the back row, and aren't sitting behind horns. Then you'll be fine.

WHAT?

Ah - you've been sitting in front of the horns for three decades!

As a trumpet player absolutely. I had a front row seat to those knuckle daggers for ten years. Damn reed lickers just dont know

Flute player here. First year in college band I sat in front of the bass drum. I sympathize
Counterfit
That's a strange layout. Also, sitting in front of trumpets in a big band is worse.
thezookeeper
we were two rows of flutes. it was odd
Counterfit
Even with multiple rows of flutes, I've never seen them near the percussion
thezookeeper
no I agree it's a weird set up. we had flutes stage right and percussion behind with brass in the middle. I don't know if I mentioned it was

The reeds are deaf from sitting in front of you and us in the trombones.

The rest of the band can't hear how bad they're playing over you.

You are correct

For those wondering, it's called a Mahler's Box. Each orchestra has a widely different interpretation of what the box should be.
Trumpcalender
It's actually an orchestra only performance of selections of Wagner's Ring Cycle by the Berlin Phil. https://youtu.be/czDDZnWKbsc?t=12m45s

Interesting bit of knowledge, imgur learns you new thing a day.
AlfredQuarterworth
Are learn and teach interchangeable? I'll never know. I used to think teach is the only word for making someone learn something new.
lebaux
Teach = person gives knowledge to another. Learn = you gain that knowledge by yourself, via book or experience. But don't quote me on that.
AlfredQuarterworth
I often see people write learn where, by your definition, teach is appropriate so I started doubting myself. I agree with you, though.
lebaux
English is my third language man, some native has to chime in on this :D
AlfredQuarterworth
But since imgur taught you that in the original comment, isn't it "imgur teaches you a new thing a day"?

Thank you for your time and reply Mate.

That was Awsome,Do you think you could do something with "The Typewriter " Leroy Anderson Martin Breinschmid with Straub Festival Orchestra?
HerrBisch
It's actually from a performance of a symphonic version of the ring cycle. Somebody else provided a link.
orbitn
The webpage i stole this from lied to me, it was a bunch of ridiculous hammer shots from Mahler.
HerrBisch
When people see this gif they immediately think of the symphony with which that instrument is most commonly associated. They forget that 1/2
HerrBisch
...it was used in other pieces too, and also that there is no bass trumpet (top right) in Mahler 6! I was surprised when I first found out.
Counterfit
That was the second symphony I ever played. Quite an experience.
PianoandPads
I bet it was.
RenegadeEscapade
Mahler sure loves his ridiculous/awesome percussion parts

For those interested, the piece is Mahler 6, 4th movement. The score literally just calls for a "hammer"

Similarly, the 1812 Overture calls for cannons.
GulDukatja
We did 1812 in HS symphony. We had police officers shoot guns outside the building in lieu of cannons.
sd40dash2FLover
So, that is why they use a giant maul. I wonder if he has a name for it? Might I suggest Darth Maul.
RagingErection
It's usually called the Mahler hammer, after Gustav Mahler, who first scored for it.
PedroBenecol
Mauler.

MaggGyver
When you're a classical composer but too drunk to write the percussion part.
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
So a composer can write any outlandish noise into a score & the orchestra will find a way to make it happen? "Scream of a hungover gerbil"?
ActionAndy
We played a piece called "Africa: Ceremony, Song, and Ritual" that had several instances of wild screaming. It also included "pick a note."
MultiTrackDrifting
Look up "Water Walk" by John Cage. It is that idea extended to an absurd conclusion.
RobotsAndLasers
In high school we had one that was basically "make a bunch of noise." The percussion section lined up a bunch of music stands like dominoes
