Bit of a shot, but personnel and the practicality of music. Third trombone basically covers the practical range of a euphonium and can project much more well. That being said wind bands love and practically need euphoniums (i.e. Holst Second Suite)

Edit: all valid points, it was 2 am when I wrote this!

Hello! Music student here (wind band side), hoping to be a teacher (high school hopefully to start, maybe work up to college when it's safe for grad school). It's a bit of a dream and maybe stretch to compose as a second job and I was curious what connections and successful methods you've seen in making your way up in that field? And any general composing tips? (I seem to be able to convey my general ideas very well, I seem to bog down on transitions and voice crossing issues as I try 'counterpuntal' lines occassionally)

Hello!

Proud of your determination and such! Bit of a different question but having a music related career, I'm curious what programs are in current use for scores and soundtracks? Especially in the indie scene?

Perfect, thank you very much!
