This is the first video that was not made because of procrastination. After graduation I had lost all ambition to make videos, but this was an idea I had almost entirely formed in my head for a few weeks before recording it. I had to wait until I was alone in my house so I didn't disturb my parents by being dumb for half an hour.
Since 99% of the friends I made in college were trumpet players in the marching band I was entirely surprised that nobody mentioned the fact that I OWN A TROMBONE. I would have bet at the time that at least one person was going to mention it, but nobody did. As a result I didn't get to tell the story of how, when I was 9, I really wanted to play trombone in school when we picked out instruments and my arms were about two feet too short to play it properly. I was devastated. I finally got my own trombone in 7th grade and my nerdy 12-year-old self was elated beyond belief that I finally got to play a damn trombone.
I never really liked playing trumpet, but I bet that fact is way more obvious to people than I think it is.
