A Group Prom Picture for the Ages

Lane Rohrich and his friends went to the high school prom last weekend. They took pictures beforehand, including a group picture on a bridge. The wooden bridge could not hold the weight of 21 teenagers at once, so you know what happened.



The students took it all in stride -after all, they wouldn’t be alone wearing wet formalwear to the prom. And they have a prom souvenir that people all over the world are enjoying! -via Uproxx

Make sure you see the linked "making trombones" video. Besides being a cheesy hype commercial for Yamaha, it nonetheless shows you the whole process of building a trombone which I found pretty neat.

The trombone is rather interesting in that it's one of the few instruments that has gone almost unchanged for in about 500 years. The renaissance instrument (usually called a sackbut to distinguish it from the modern version) has a slightly narrower bore, especially near the bell, and the mouthpiece is shaped a bit differently, but it's essentially the same instrument. The other instruments that the sackbut typically played with at the time, the shawm, cornett, serpent, kortholt, curtal, have entirely disappeared.

Anyone in Dallas interested in seeing and hearing the renaissance sackbut in action should drop by Emanuel Lutheran Church in Dallas next sunday: http://www.emanueldallas.org/files/concert.pdf

I'll be playing on viola da gamba, recorder and crumhorn there.
