Film Music Competition

Can the timpanist also play other percussion?

Can I have the timpanist play timpani and then
move to play triangle or something else if I
have the other percussionist already playing?

Tenorman, I think that's fine. I have done that plenty, as a percussionist. Moving around like crazy is what we do, I'm sure you know that.

And to everyone else, I'd really wish you consult the thread, especially the first post, before you start asking questions, especially if it's how many alto saxes there are, as it is specifically stated in the first post, 2.

And, Nightengale, perhaps having the intent of just doing your best for the competition, and not setting on winning it, which can sometimes be two different things, would be more desirable. And plus, if you write a good solid composition, no matter how you deal with the instruments you don't like, you should have a good shot at winning anyway. This goes for everyone: Just try and do your best, this is not the end of the world composition competition!!!

This is not the end of the world composition competition!!!

I can't agree better with that!

I can't agree better with that!

I can't agree with that... it is a matter of life an death

J/k

i'll give it a shot. pretty limited ensemble but i'll try =D it's worth the experience.

hmmm...Looking at the competitors...Marius will sure-firedly win.

Thanks for that wise bit of information, Nico.

I've added you, Xeraphine. Get crackin'!

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Nico.

I myself am convinced though that everyone who's competing has a good chance; all fine composers who are sure to bring wonderful compositions up. Mine's done by the way, or very nearly so.

Count me in. I'll go compose it right now....

I wouldn't place on any bets who's going to win. I can be quite mean when it comes to judging Glad to see many people taking part. The conductor is really pleased at the interest it's got. Still a week left for names though - please post the news around.
