Euphonium.
Hey… great day with Dale yesterday!! I found the video of Dale & Oprah. For those that missed the great audio of Dale…especially when he gives his wife the shocker, I put most of it here:

It’s a Marching French Horn. Sounds the same, but is easier to march with. Hence the name.
Gordo,
That old horn in the background is a baritone horn:
http://wiki.youngcomposers.com/Image:Baritone-horn.PNG
used back in the “hey day” of marching bands when Sousa was writing all his famous marches for military band
I played the Baritone back in Junior High when I was a band geek, and this one time at band camp…..
The intrument in question is a Euphonium / Baratone.
to add, that particular model is a “soprano” or “alto” model, it’s hard to judge the exact size, but it was created to cover a specific range of notes the composer wrote for while still maintaining the characteristic sound of the baritone, and not sound like a trombone, French horn, cornet, or trumpet.
The instrument is a fluglehorn
im looking at it on my phone, so the picture isnt clear… but it looks like maybe a baritone. a marching tuba is way bigger than that and has a front facing bell. it looks like its even too small for a concert tuba. a concert baritone is my guess.
Pay me in gum, dammit!!!!

This has got to be the gayest commercial of all time.
Thank you for the candy website! I will be giving out candy cigarettes for Halloween next year.
Those are my favorite!
Halloween Fun
A few comments about that D-Cowboy Cheerleader party…as seen on Deadspin (link below)
1. What’s with Whitney’s douchey boyfriend…he’s in blackface too…wonder what conversation between that couple is like…
2. Vampire Costume = Chris Chris
3. Why aren’t the Latin Mexi-conians mad about those Frito Bandito costumes…looks like they applied a little make-up too…
4. The last picture of the two guys…uhmm…so triple gay…I wonder if these are the guys that run around with the flags after a touchdown…

Why is Derek Holland in that “black-face” picture?
Please tell me the guy in the black-face next to him is not also a Rangers player.
Yes that is derek holland!
I love band geeks.
In the Blackface Cheerleader pics. Isn’t that Derek Holland, aka – The Dutch Oven, standing in the picture as well? What does Nolan Ryan think of that?
I’m an surprised that Deadspin didn’t catch that.
Why is this Cheerleader dressing up as Lil Wayne even a story? Do the masses get their collective panties in a wad if someone dresses up as a Squaw? Pocahontas? After all, the Indians received far more damage to them by “whitey”, so why is that not dealt with the same?
Most of those costumes could be considered offensive.
Only to those who are looking for a reason to be offended. I dressed up as a pirate this year… Oh great, now I need to get in trouble because I offended pirates! People need to chill out with this race crap. If you want to be miserable, don’t take people down with you.

Yes, but no. I’m the biggest non-tree hugger, but if you can recycle, why not? Guess 500 years from now we won’t give a rat’s ass as we will all be dead.
If we could only teach humans to wash their hands after a romp or piss in a public restroom, life would be better for the door handle when exiting such.
With that said, do not jar.
I just think that..
The writers at Conan O’Brien came up with the Ventriloquist Choir concept about ten years ago as a ridiculous bit. Somehow, a few crazy Europeans considered it a form of high art and it pops up over there as legitimate entertainment.
Its call an ass trumpet
Must…have…Zotz…
I believe the other item in the picture that also involves blowing and deft fingerwork is Kelly Brook.
I think you are correct – a similar view:

(SFW)
I would like to put the sound that goes into the “Deepest Bin” around my toilet bowl.
Not sure what kind of horn that is, but while she’s blowin’ on that I could sure pound some paradiddles into her percussion instrument and make some sweet sweet music.

Can’t quite tell from the picture, but it looks like an alto horn, which used to be used in German military bands – Hindemith even wrote a sonata for it.
It’s not a tuba. (say it like Arnold)
It’s not a marching anything, the marching variety of the horn is like a large oversized trumpet, it’s vastly different than a french horn as well. This one plays in a completely different key than a Frnch Horn (it’s a B-flat or F depending on which clef you prefer to read in)
Looking at the size in comparison to the window it’s in front of for reference, I’d lean towards an early 20th century model baritone w/o a 4th valve like a euphonium. It’s definately not a flugehorn, french horn, tuba, sousaphone, trumpet, coronet or trombone (valve variety)….
It is a difficult call – Alto (Peck) Horn in Eb was my first guess, but it looks just a little bit too large for that (judging by the size of the window, as Me So Horny… suggests) and too thin for a Euphonium or Baritone, so it could be a Saxhorn or Tenor Horn in Bb.
My final call is Tenor Horn. Possibly made by Pepper, Boston or Disten. Late 1800s to early 1920s.
Knowing where the picture was taken would help a lot. The names of horns change quite a lot depending on what country it is used in.
More importantly, who is the model?
(The website horn-u-copia dot net is very useful with pictures of hundreds of different brasswind horns.)
Thats Derek Holland in that pic as well!! I thought the Dutch Oven would be smarter than that!
I love the idea of making recycling into a fun arcade game. Really good idea. We need some around Dallas. I wish they would make a beggar return arcade game. You dunk a beggar into a box on 635 and he is returned to the downtown homeless shelter where he belongs.
Oh, and I would lovingly share my DNA with brass girls back. What a perfect arch. Oh, jeez. I’d even tag team that with Norm.
Princess Leia where are you tonight? And who’s laying there by your side?
