Mellophones are loud as frick!

Shut your whore mouth!


Serious question but backstory first:
I was a talented trumpeter in middle school and high school making the all-parish bands in 8th and 9th grade. But by 10th grade at my high school you had to be in marching band in Fall to make an A in Band. I was a football player so I had to give up band.

That said, I'm a dumb jock who still has much appreciation/respect for marching bands(to prove I pay attention: The Jacksonville State halftime performance in 2016 was the best I've ever seen in Tiger Stadium).

So my possibly stupid question is: with the mellophone being less common in high school bands, how does a big college marching band decide who's moves from trumpet to mellophone? Is it an easy transition?

I'll hang up and listen.
