I catch in my throat
Choke
Torn into pieces
I won't - No
I don't want to be this

I have been very impressed with Ayala's woodwind section. They blend very well.

Strongest Winds?

Post by vore » Fri Sep 24, 2004 10:29 am

As a life long resident of Southern California, I have always found the "strongest winds" to be the Santa Ana Winds as they blow in from the desert with a strong off shore breeze....:P

As to the most musical high school woodwind section in Southern California.... well, with all things considered including instrumentation, tone production, intonation, style, phrasing, balance, articulation and such.... that would have to be either the Rancho Bernardo or Mt. Carmel woodwind sections. In my 30 years of judging and clinicing, I have heard and judged them all. Some years back, the Poway and Thousand Oaks woodwind sections were right there in the hunt. Recently, no other Southern California high school band comes close to these two woodwind sections.

Sometimes the strongest winds emit from my....mouth...when I'm in particularly talkative mood...

Don't forget as well wind gusts due to gastrointestinal putrefication...

Santa Ana's are pretty dang strong...and annoying...
