Trombone Nonsense



Charis Dwire wrote this song after her brother Nathan Dwire thought up the idea of trombones having a musical tug-of-war as if their slides has become entangled at the ends. It is performed here by Joseph Greene and Sam Robertson. You can download the sheet music here.

The best descriptions always come from the YouTube comments. One said that Trombone Nonsense was his favorite genre of music. Another said the trombone is perfect balance of beauty and comedy. But most lauded this video as a throwback to years ago when videos were clever and original and didn't rely on effects.

  1. Yeah, I thought it was pretty clever, I wonder how many times they practiced that to sinc that well.

  2. As a trombonist, I fully approve of this video. And, it is true that EVERY trombonist has lost a slide at least once, though that tends to stop happening as one matures with the instrument
