rain cloud We had intermittent rain during our playing and picnic at Burnet Woods on September 3, 2022 but nothing that dampened our spirits and enjoyment of the time together. We read some new arrangements by Bill Tipkemper, Dan Stenger, and Charlie Jacobson. We were too engrossed in playing and eating to remember to take any pictures.
Bring It Home, Another Opening, Selections from Phantom of the Opera, Rubber Duckie, Suite in F, Gee Officer Krupke, Canzon for 8 Trombones, and Wave. The joy of making music together was bittersweet due to the recent passing of two friends who were very well known Cincinnati trombonists, Gary Johnston and Harold Dimond.

This performance was outdoors at the Terradise Nature Center, Caldonia, OH on August 27, 2022.

The threat of bad weather forced us to move the summer Trombone Picnic indoors to the fellowship hall at Mt Auburn Presbyterian Church on July 17, 2021. Not only did we have a variety of music, but we also had a variety of conductors enjoying the opportunity to experience the sound and responsiveness of a group of talented players. Needless to say, there was plenty of good food and desserts.

Trombone Picnic 2021


Amberley Village honored long time resident of Amberley Village and member of council, Ed Hattenbach, with a service and planting a tree near the village administration building. Peg Conway read the poem "Trees" by Joyce Kilmer, and the Bones of Cincinnatus played the composition "Trees", by Oscar Rasbach who set the words to music.

It was a joyous occasion that brought together several trombonists and rhythm section on May 1, 2021 for the celebration of Harold Dimond's 99th birthday. He is pictured with his son, Gary. Harold is a brilliant chemist who happens to also be a great trombonist. He is well known for his very tasteful improvising. He was an active player right up to the beginning of 2020, when the quarantine brought an end to his playing. Without regular playing opportunities he lost strength in his embouchure and his eyesight has declined. He now leads the Gentlemen of Swing big band.

While the COVID virus was a concern, we felt the guidelines for small groups in outdoor settings made sense. The lawn in front of the municipal building in Loveland provided a shady location for a noon time concert, August 30,2020.

Schedules dictated that we have two trombone picnics in 2013, one in July and one in August.  The weather cooperated for two beautiful days.  We had 13 trombonists one day and 9 the next, plus some family members. 
Unforeseeable conflicts come up to prevent another 6 or 7 from attending each time.  We read a lot of great music and everyone played their fill of high and low parts.

Slide position Calculator
You still have to make adjustments for variations caused by mouthpiece and instrument quirks, but the calculations give a sense of how much and which direction you might need to adjust the equal tempered pitch. Further adjustments are needed to make chords "ring", as in just intonation (whole number multiples).
