Trombone Champ Review (Hero_Vert)

I am a classically trained trombonist (both tenor and bass) with 27 years of experience. I have had the great privilege to play in wind ensembles and philharmonic orchestras that have performed pieces containing many of the most famous and recognizable trombone excerpts and solos; works by composers such as Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Bernstein, Copland, Dvořák, Saint-Saëns, Gershwin, Wagner, Ravel, Brahms, Mussorgsky, Rossini, Kodály, Borodin, Prokofiev, Berlioz, Marquez, and Shostakovich.
You must believe me when I tell you that this is not just a rhythm game. This is a simulation. All the countless hours spent on practice, lessons, sectionals, and rehearsals were made redundant with Trombone Champ. It's real. All of it. The strobe lights. The "unintentional" glissandi. The conductor's disapproving gaze (implied by default). The raucous applause. The thinly-veiled antagonism of all other instruments. The baboons. ESPECIALLY the baboons.
However, for all of Trombone Champ's incredible attention to detail and commitment to the accuracy of the trombone experience, it unfortunately lacks a way to train the user in the most important trombone skill of all, practiced over thousands of rehearsals sitting and listening to the strings, horns, woodwinds, and percussion play while you don't: counting tacet bars correctly before your next entrance.
If they can somehow add that in, this simulation would truly be complete.
