It could be a lot worse. You could be the french horn section spit collector...

Oh, no, no, no, Armin. I'm a specialist. I get to collect the spittle of the entire brass section, not merely the French horn section.
Me with spittoon: "Can ya please try and hit the spittoon this time, please?
"Oh, great. Just blow it on the floor. Spread germs. Make the contractor have to get subs."
"Mahler's 4th is coming up, ya know. Go ahead and make everybody sick. Ja."
I swear, if these players don't try to aim better, I'm duct-taping their spit valves when they aren't looking...

When I go into a practice room after a tuba has been there for an extended amount of time, there are puddles on the floor. No kidding.

Oh crap, so that's how this whole intern/assistant/star rating thing works? Great ...

Appearantly, we didn't blow the webmaster's French Horn -- IF you know what I mean.
Or toot his flute . . . or polish his saxophone. . . or pound on his drums and bang his gong.
You get the drift.
If not, I'm sure there's a Marxist Oboe lying around somewhere, just waiting to be demonstrated upon.

Come on up and collect your "Mr. Subtle Award". You deserve it. But the real question is what title you'd choose if you had your free pick. I'm considering several options for myself: [glow=yellow,2,300]The 14th Warrior The Vainglorious Snob The Bombastic Sophist[/glow] Hmmmm?

Lucky you. Generally there's not much from the other sections though. Rule no.1 of brass playing: Never!! ever!! even try to put your spit somewhere "they" want you to. You have to show some character... And duct-taping the valves? Now that would be the funniest rehearsal you've ever seen in your life. Ever heard a brass instrument with "water" inside? It's hilarious. Especially in long and quiet solos (Tchaikowsky 5 for example).
