Then how does the string section feed? Or is this the technique for all members of the orchestra? Communal trombones for all.
The string section are scavengers, they’ll wait for a poorly aimed honkwitch to land amongst them, then descend as a pack.
The spoils are divided up hierarchically, first violin always eats first.
It’s why strings are typically smaller people than the horn section too. Place a tuba player next to a violinist and the tuba player is always bigger.
You use a mandolin to slice cheese and meats.
The string section is responsible for slicing the sandwiches into finger-sized snacks so that the floutists and other woodwinds may also join in the honkwich fun. Simply slide the honkwich between the fingerboard and the strings and then press down.
The real reason people learn to play slap bass…
Cheese.
…you know which kind.
This is such a dangerous stereotype. Yes honkwiching used to use trombones, but now most musicians use specially-designed, food-safe disposable honkers. Trombone players aren’t savages.
Um, actually the proper name is Tromboner…
I prefer “sackbut.”
Can confirm, was a 'bone half a lifetime ago.
Yeah, any tromboner worth their salt is able to propel a standard issue PB&J at least 1 meter up into the air. Only those in training use a chair to feed the tubas.
Hello fellow former sackbut.
A few years ago it was a meme that musicians were savages desperate for food haha
Well, yeah, have you ever been around a band? Drummers in particular are going to say they’re going to the bathroom, but then you find that entire cheese drawer empty.
And don’t get me started on guitarists filching the sugary cereal. Or bassists and their jonesing for bologna.
But singers? Jfc, you won’t have any honey, canned beans, or marmite left.
