Trumpet?

**__wowza** · 06-23-2009, 09:42 AM

so, i've been thinking about doing this for awhile now (mainly for next season when I can actually get tickets or when/if we make the playoffs), but i've purchased a trumpet and am slowly becoming proficient in learning all the TFC chants on it.

my question is: would i be able to play it near/close to the supporters section? would I even be allowed in BMO field with it?

I misread the title - thought it said strumpet. My bad. Anyone want to make a strumpet thread?

**fiji_blue** · 06-23-2009, 09:46 AM

Chicago Supporters brought a trumpet in and played the TETRIS tune or what ever it is called...

**Fort York Redcoat** · 06-23-2009, 09:47 AM

Are you proficient in strumpets? Can you play TFC songs on them? I'm sure they are allowed in the supporters section...

you can hear a trumpet in the "la, la, la" part of Qu'est que vous chantez

I love the idea of a trumpet

**jazz_trumpet** · 06-23-2009, 10:00 AM

Playing at a TFC game = rough gig lol.

I've been thinking of bringing my horn in for a while, but I have a feeling it'll piss some people off.

**Kevvv** · 06-23-2009, 10:10 AM

I like it

**VoxPopuliCosmicum** · 06-23-2009, 10:11 AM

There's got to be a way to make this work. Maybe just start out as a "signal corps", using the trumpet to communicate the start of a chant, and go from there.

The air horns we hear from some US-based teams are pitiful, mostly because they seem to discourage actual singing. But there's got to be a way to put them to good use.

At the very least, you might try putting something together with TRN in the SW corner.

just bring your trumpet and play it if you want to. you can do what you want.

**Keyman** · 06-23-2009, 10:18 AM

Wow, weird. I was just remembering back to a thread yesterday, waaaay back, that proposed to exact same idea. People liked it then, and I'm assuming they will like it now. I know I do.

No problem with the trumpet idea as long as it does not lead to what it is like at the current confederations cup in South Africa. Tried watching a couple of games but the continous noise from thousands of horns is really annoying. The game between Brazil and Italy I actually turned on the mute button it was so bad.

**RedsYNWA** · 06-23-2009, 10:42 AM

^^^ I hate those South Africa horns

**gtaguy** · 06-23-2009, 10:50 AM

as long as i'm not the poor bastard standing in front of you its a Great idea..

**Raging Reggie** · 06-23-2009, 10:52 AM

I love the trumpets/horns Ricky Hattons fans bring when he fights. Sounds great@

Im all for trumpets!

**TOBOR !** · 06-23-2009, 11:26 AM

I was thinking of doing this as well - only two things were stopping me : I don't have a trumpet and I can't play one either - oh, and I only have a partial pack, so I wouldn't be at many games... so i guess that's three things.

As far as a playlist is concerned, I think keeping it strictly to bullfight, western themes is the way to go... maybe mix in some 60's war movie inspired riffs (you know, Guns of Navarone - stuff like that).

Laugh of the day.

Listen to any England game, especialyl an away game, and you'll hear the barmy army making good use of a trumpet. i think it would be tops.

**joshpa** · 06-23-2009, 11:47 AM

i remember bringing this up and then it being brought up again just for a lot of ppl to turn it down... i know there are a few trumpet players on this forum, myself included... i think it would sound badass with multiple trumpets.. we can stand behind the oppositions goalie and REALLY give him an earful!!!

this makes our attempt at qu'est-ce que vous chantez look terrible

for realz... we need to prop someone up like that..

**mr k** · 06-23-2009, 12:34 PM

i would really like trumpets - it's a staple at Dutch national matches.

**Dirk Diggler** · 06-23-2009, 12:38 PM

Wow ... I remember someone brought this up last season (or maybe the first season) and the idea was shot down as soon as it was mentioned. I'm glad there seems to be support for it now. If someone knows how to play it, a trumpet will be a very good addition to the support.

**Cowboy905** · 06-23-2009, 12:40 PM

I love Trumpets at matches.

**joshpa** · 06-23-2009, 12:46 PM

now the head honchos need to be in support...

**kodiakTFC** · 06-23-2009, 12:50 PM

I LIKE them but as long as you only do it for certain chants. Example:

Dichio = no
La La La La La La La La La = yes

**TOBOR !** · 06-23-2009, 01:22 PM

can someone start a separate thread for people who just want to reminisce about other trumpet threads they've read or started, and leave this one for the general discussion ?

**rocker** · 06-23-2009, 01:48 PM

you know what BMO Field needs on gameday? a
Didgeridoo!

imagine the possibilities... animal sounds too

**TOBOR !** · 06-23-2009, 01:49 PM

^ Dude - it took me a moment to realise that wasn't what I first thought it was

why not have them going for as many chants possible?

maybe this crowd will actually learn something about melody..

..and with a trumpet, we could introduce a "Go West" based chant, a "Tom Hark" based chant, and fix "Forza" finally.
