Random Jokic

So you're telling me that the simulation added Nikola Jokic and I didn't even know 🙏🙏

I was playing as the Airman, going up against Minnesota. I didn't even realize it until I scored a layup with this person. I saw the name, and HAD to take a photo (Hoop Land from my laptop).​

Haven't touched my euphonium since last Sunday - how's my sound?

I was very surprised with how good I sounded, especially since, like the title says, I haven't touched the instrument since last Sunday.

I guess taking breaks really does work... 🧐

Welcome the new GOAT 🐐🔥🔥

Believe it or not, but this will actually be the first time that I will play career mode. Hate to say this, but I've been playing Hoop Land way before career mode was even a thing on this game. I'm being so legit when I tell you, I used to GRIND on Hoop League Tactics 😭🙏

I've got so much catching up to do. Maybe I should stop spending so much time on commissioner mode 🧐​

Lowest Eb scale ever???

The title was just a joke 😅 But in all seriousness, I feel like my tone has been getting better and better the more I play low.

How do I sound? Any tips? Oh by the way, my cheeks always puff up like that if I play anything lower than a pedal F. ​It's all good.

Is this air enough? 😅

I'm asking for some feedback in case there's anything off with my tone. I honestly I think did good, starting from a pedal F and then going up. Starting low helps me play better because my face kind of relaxes.​

FOR GAME!!!!

I just had to record this. I was playing as San Francisco and we were going up against New York. I crossed up Gib and hit the game winner in his face!!​

Does anyone have any tips for my tone?

Over this week, I've been struggling a bit to make a good sound. After trying and trying, I think my embouchure is a big reason. I watched many videos, but I'm still not sure. If anyone has tips, please let me know 🙏​

I tried to import some NCAA rosters but I keep getting the same result.

I have tried everything. Discord, Reddit, all the links are either deleted, or they do work but then all the files get messed up. ​​

Working on euphonium tone + range

I’ve been playing euphonium since the beginning of March this year, so I’m still pretty new to the instrument overall. This is a slurred Bb2–Bb3 scale I recorded, mostly focused on tone, airflow, and keeping a consistent sound rather than articulation or pushing range. Right now my low and middle register feel fairly comfortable, and A3 is starting to sound more solid and stable. Bb3 is still inconsistent and doesn’t always speak cleanly, so I didn’t try to force it if it didn’t want to respond. I’ve been working a lot lately on getting a more open sound and better air support across my range. I tend to slur most of my practice to focus on airflow continuity, and I’m slowly trying to clean up articulation as well. If anyone has feedback, I’d especially appreciate thoughts on:

  • tone quality across registers
  • air support / consistency
  • what to focus on next for developing -upper range safely

My range can go from D1 (and down to something like a Bb0 or B0 - though they're false tones) all the way to a Bb3. I can also play notes higher than that, up to a C4 and I've even tried a C#4 before. But anything above that A and I'm just over blowing. I usually can never play that Bb3 unless I over blow. ​ ​​​​​​​​

Thanks for listening!
