FutureCorps

To be ignorant of FutureCorps is as stupid as calling yourself a webmaster just because you started a blog on scream trumpet. Information on this group is becoming more and more difficult to find. They performed at the Disney parks for many years before getting the axe from the bosses who wanted to take the in-park entertainment in a different direction, and at that moment, screams of protest erupted from the BigPhat community... or at least they would have had BigPhat existed back then. Nevertheless, enjoy these posthumous FutureCorps vids with Mark Zauss and other screamers absolutely tearing the lacquer off those G bugles. RIP FutureCorps.

Bonus points for anyone who can find the formerly posted YouTube vid of FutureCorps playing Everybody Loves the Blues with Mark Zauss's bell pointed directly into the camera!

Welcome to BigPhat!

Welcome to BigPhat, your least tasteful resource for scream trumpet!

If any of the following are true, this blog was created for you:
- You play the trumpet
- You like tasteful trumpet playing
- You dislike tasteful trumpet playing
- You think that unnecessary high notes are funny
- You have dreams about the elusive "dubba C"
- You annoy your friends whistling scream licks
- Fighting the urge to shake whole notes is a constant struggle for you
- You like burritos
- You are just learning to play the trumpet and need wisdom and guidance from the pros
- You weigh over 300 lbs
- The words 'tastee', 'greasy', 'phat', 'nasty', and 'sick' all make you smile

Dear first-timers,
Much like yourself, we at BigPhat appreciate the finer things in life. And we too are aware that there is simply nothing more satisfying in life than having your forehead ripped in two by the piercing drill of a BigPhat scream trumpet. Dear reader, let us not downplay the significance of this essential truth! For we are the keepers of an ancient, mystic knowledge that binds us together in a truly transcendental cosmic connection: We live the BigPhat lifestyle. And much like yourself, we feel disconnected from other BigPhats- lost in a dark sea of Britneys and Kanyes longing for a single shred of the Fergusonian. We too yearned for an outlet, a meeting place, a fellowship of screamophiles in which we could consolidate our power, lending credence to our suspicion of belonging to some as yet unnamed higher order! Oh dear reader, make no mistake. We are one community, and we do have a name:

We are BigPhat. Welcome home.



We'll start the new year off right with a quick youtube vid from an Orlando based screamer named Chad Shoopman. Enjoy your stay, and once again, welcome!
