  • I played cornet (small trumpet) then baritone (small euphonium) in a brass-band basically from primary school up until I graduated university and moved oversea. I went to conservatorium through all the amateur levels, got my certificate degree and then stopped classes. My town band would also compete regionally and nationally, and get decent results!

    I guess I got good enough to play properly in my town band and be first chair of the baritone section, but I was never passionate enough to go pro, or even to join a more important band.




  • Yeah. A black shirt is kinda difficult to pull off imo. A general advice is to have your layers to go from lighter to darker; it’s possible to not follow it but then the fit can easily fall in the “costume” category. Think of a white tie on a black shirt + suit.

    I don’t mind the way the fit looks in general, the purple accent is fun, but as is it kinda feels loud to me. The cheap shiny tie + matching pocket square, and a lot of accessories (tie pin AND tie bar, really?) don’t help in that direction.
