I get what cut-time is, it's just mentally translating quarters to eighths and eighths to sixteenths that gets me. After a while, I just ignore most of the rhythms and play what I think it should sound like rhythmacaly. Pretty much ignoring note lengths and only paying attention to which notes I should be playing.

I have played the French Horn and I can't remember if I experienced this, but yeah, it would definately be annoying! XD

I'm a flutie too. That's why it's especially annoying because there's always eighth-notes EVERYWHERE.

I know that, just our band director always puts the tempo really fast and so if we get to a song with cut-time we all diiiiiiiiie.

Yup. I hate it when they do that. X.x (even worse with sixteenths, chromatic scales, and being a flutie.)

and for everyone complaining about flute and marimba you don't have to stretch your arm out full length back and forth like i do on trombone
