As a percussionist in a brass band, I couldn't help but check out this new anime, and I enjoyed the heck out of it. The anime is about a concert band as opposed to a brass band, however. A concert band seems to be a smaller version of an orchestra to me.
All the brass playing techniques were there, and the timpanist nailed the reason to play timpani- "it's a good way to relieve stress." Also, you feel a bit like Thor when you produce thundery rolls. (A good way to disguise your wind is behind a nice ff timpano roll.)
There were some techniques I haven't encountered here in New Zealand (probably because I didn't stick to brass- I got lost in the "pots and pans" department), like keeping a tissue in the air or running a lap before playing. I see that the percussion didn't have to run- nice. I agree physical fitness does help with mental clarity when playing a musical instrument- just anything but running! With a dedicated gym routine, I find that music is easier to grasp in general, and you can sing higher notes. I have been known to do bicep curls so I could hold some rather hefty cymbals.
Also, the characters are fun and make good comedy. I'm eagerly waiting for the next installment!
As well as Sailor Moon Crystal, MLP:FIM, The Simpsons, Steven Universe, Sofia the First and Adventure Time.

Announcing my Departure from DeviantAirport
Soon, I will be deleting PurpleAmharicCoffee, PurpleItalianCoffee, and any other accounts I have made here once I have backed up all of the art I want to keep. I'll even be keeping my worst art if it has an idea I liked in it. I know this site isn't really an airport, but there are a few key points that have broken the proverbial camel's back to make me leave. > This site promotes AI and the art theft involved in it > They erect paywalls everywhere. > The search is useless > I can't be bothered keeping up with the changes in the site > My old art, which I thought was good at the time, is now bringing me shame. You'll probably see it on other sites (as I did genuinely think I did a good job) but practice and study keeps teaching me new things that makes my previous art look so amateurish and awful. I have also decided to stop creating purely for the online audience, and focus my efforts on gaining a local following first. This has been a slow success, and is much more
If Nocturne Precure was Glitter Force..
This is simply a late night joke post about if Nocturne Precure were to be forced into Glitter Force Cure Sake/Tsubasa Fujiwara would be Glitter Rice/Tori Cook. Cure Tej/Tsehai Mekuria would be Glitter Buzz/Tessa Addis. Cure Whisky/Maggie Hughes would be Glitter Celtic/Maggie Hughes. Cure Kava/Lavinia Niranjan would be Glitter Coconut/Layla Norman. Cure Montepulciano/Allegra Rossi would be Glitter Grape/Alicia Rossi. Cure Cointreau/Denise Pineau would be Glitter Orange/Denise Pine. Cure Gin/Elisabeth Rogers would be Glitter Juniper/Elisabeth Rogers. Katya Vodovatov/Cure Vodka would be Glitter Potato/Katie Williams. Glitter Potato... sorry guys, I'm off to bed.

Name meanings of my characters: StregaFata Project
I know some people stick to main characters, but I have a few characters with interesting or silly meanings or stories behind them.
Edit: I forgot some of my male fairies' punny monikers. Also, I seem to have a thing with France, Italy, and Greece- and maybe a bit of Spain. :shrug:
Fikreselam Bekele- Fikreselam literally means lovepeace, and isn't an official Amharic name- indicating that she comes from a different species and a different time. Bekele comes from Kenenisa Bekele, a runner who I thought was damn handsome. She's a Fairy of Earth.
Leros Lamour- First name comes from the Greek God Eros, last name is a shortening of the French

Wow.... nearly a year later and I'm finally getting around to checking out 'Sound!Euphonium'. Only got as far as the opening song right now (LOVE IT!!!!), and plan to probably watch it while working on cross stitch in the evenings.
Looking back at the comments from last year, I blooming *LOVED* the 'Crusaders of the Lost Mark' episode of MLP:FIM. Cannot wait to see everything that season 6 holds (and if the season premiere is any indication of the rest of the season, it's going to rock socks)
