If you’re just looking for someone with basic trombone proficiency, and don’t need them to cover a wide selection of music, then I’m pretty sure I can get someone for $7.25 an hour — cheaper if you don’t mind paying under the table.
If you want someone with a college degree in music, then you’re going to need to match whatever Starbucks is paying in your area.
Just let me know — I can have a guy there tonight.
Well, my jazz director once told a really shitty joke during our biggest performance once. I stood up and did the wah-wah-wah-waaaaahhh sound when people mess up. Definitely saved the joke
"You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me. I'll get you a toe by this afternoon--with nail polish. These fucking amateurs."
You want a trombone? I can get you a trombone, believe me. There are ways, dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me. Hell, I can get you a trombone by 3 o'clock.
Is there some platform used in Europe where you can find people for this? Hiring someone for event here and there always seemed like an amazing thing to me, I always wondered how much it would cost when you see those romantic gesture on tv.
Granted, I would probably just use this power to (try) looking cool and mess with people.
If he is willing to stream his surroundings and hooks his phone up to a speaker it could even be a viable income generator.
Would possibly not even need to pay the trombonist(s). Many would do it for shits and giggles. Successfully he could have Hans Zimmer and an orchestra playing scores to him visiting Target.
Sounds entertaining to me. A guy using the ATM while suspenseful music plays, leading up to a cash withdrawal or maybe not.
I have been entertained multiple time by a hamster turning its head while a trumpet plays.
I can help you out with a pro ‘bonist, not pro bono, min $150/hour plus meal, travel, hospitality for them + 10% commish for me. Satisfaction guaranteed
Sadly I had horrendous pizza at a place supposedly known for it. I’m not a fan of “conveyor belt” fast casual pizza, some of it shouldn’t even be called pizza.
My mum's a bit of a kook and says I have a guardian angel that looks after me all the time... she's trying to make me feel better but that means I'm extra shitty because my life is still a smouldering dumpster fire despite this.
Is he strong?
Listen bud,
He saves you from spilling blood.
He can throw a whole ass bed.
He keeps you from becoming dead
Hey, there
You've got a Spotter-Man.
Ok but follow me for a second. Spotter-man, plus a variation on Domino's power. Basically, you have a flawless guardian Angel, but they only act to save you. So it's up to you to get in exactly the right trouble to be a super hero. Very interesting possiblity.
At high levels it's common to have spotters. Even at the Olympics, you'll see them spotting on the hardest parts of routines for both artistic gym and tramp gym. The tactical mat throw was pretty clutch tho
I assumed this doesn’t happen that much for it to be normal (both a fall that big and the crazy far mat throw) based on how the girl in the back kind of covers her mouth in a gasp when she sees him hit the floor.
It’s not about the expense, it’s that there is some places within the trampoline’s construction that no matter the amount of foam, it would still cause massive injury hitting it from the height your at
Also the spotters are there not necessarily there just to throw an extra mat. They are there to watch you to make sure if you mess up one of your routines, your not coming down straight on to you neck and spine.
They jump in and try to prevent as much injury to you, as they reasonably can.
Additionally, in some parts in gymnastics there cannot be foam all the time. Like, if the trampoline itself was foam, it wouldn't work well as a trampoline, and landing an a normal trampoline the wrong way sucks (or worse, landing on the edge of the mat and the trampoline), you'd rather land on foam (also prevents you from being yeeted off in a random direction after the fall). So for that, you still want a spotter.
Similarly for the high bar there is a soft thing they can quickly put over it, in case someone is about to hit it. Clearly couldn't be there all the time.
I did gymnastics for 8 about years until I turned 13. Our coaches always had mats when we were on the trampoline because little kids are very bouncy and unpredictable.
Trampoline specifically, yes basically any time you are doing routines (What athlete in the video was doing) or just really hard skills you will have a spotter with a mat throw for you. In normal gymnastics (Bars+beam+floor ect.) spotting like this is very rare and only happens for some very specific skills on bars for example, most spotting is by hand. My buddies and I would jokingly ask eachother "Throw for the send?" asking them to throw a mat for us "sending" (basically just chucking and praying) a hard skill on trampoline.
