[PigSoldier]

Just wondering......
I saw WDWFanatic walking about band, and I thought it would be interesting to see what instruments everyone plays here.

I play flute, saxophone, piano, guitar and recorder.

[WDWfanatic288]

Well its great lots of people play instruments!!!!!!

But I mean...we had to find something to do when we arent at WDW or DISing ;)

[KittieKat]

i play clarinet and bass clarinet. But manily bass and im 1st chair too!!!

[Mousekateer55]

I play French Horn, but I am second horn. I have had trouble all year with my stupid piece of school equipment and because of that, my playing has been limited and somewhat unproductive. The girl who plays first horn is going to be in the highest band next year. I didn't make any of the audition bands because my instrument got messed up again. At least I am not third horn. Also, my band teacher pointed out three-quarters of the way through the year that I have been playing my instrument wrong for the last five years so I am still in the process of changing my embrochure.

I play trumpet in our high school marching band and in the concert band. I have played since 6th grade! :)

[iLovDisney]

I play piano. I wish I could be in a marching band, but as my instrument is a little big, I dout I'll ever get to.;)

[WDWfanatic288]

[poohlover]

hey everyone.

i started playing clarinet in 3rd grade...piano in 4th..picked up trumpet in 5th...bassoon in 7th...bass clarinet in 8th...and now i've got a euphonium for next years marching season, thanks to my instructor who wants an all-brass marching band. lol. i did marching band my frosh year and went to Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and we're doing a parade on Block Island off of Rhode Island this summer. Our band has also done the 1996 Inaugural Parade and the 1999 Rose Bowl Parade. We're in USSBA class 4, for anyone of you that march USSBA, can't wait to get back our championship title this year!!

[girlwithguitar]

ok, so i'm not in band. but i'm in orchestra, does that count? i play viola, mainly, and i can play a bit of violin and cello.

in addition to that, in my free time, i play guitar (obviously, from my name!), piano, and i sing.

everyone's so musical! :D

[dancergirl]

I just found out I will be in Symphonic band next year!! I will be one of three freshman in it! I am really excited! Now I have to go practice! :)

[princessdisney]

i played clarinet from 4th grade till i graduated from high school. which was a year ago. i decided not to do band in college, but i still play. also i've played the piano since i was 4. i've taught lessons in it and stuff. i love music!

[nsyncraider17]

lol poohlover, @ my school everybody calls us "bandies."

I'm starting marching band this year. (I'll be a freshman) I'm gonna try to stay in it until my senior year, cuz then we're going to WDW!:bounce:

[pReTtYpRiNcEsS]

I've played the piano for five years. I was in the school band in 6th and played clairenet (s/s). I didn't like band (well actually i didn't like practicing as much as we were suppose to) so i didn't go back in 7th. Also, i played recorder in 4th... but it was just for a school program, so i don't know if that counts. Neways, i luv playing piano and im goin to keep on playing!

I play guitar (all shapes and sizes, I'm learning mandolin...), which I've taught myself for the last 2 years. I had a teacher for a year, but I think it's more fun to teach myself all the techniques, and I find it <i>real</i> easy for some reason. My major influences would probably be Ani DiFranco, Fuel, Incubus, John Denver (remember him? laugh it uo...I'm a child of the 80s...LOL), and of course da man Carlos Santana.

I also play violin (and viola but im no 'convert'), i played in orchestra but it got so boring that i quit while i was ahead (3rd chair in my asinine youth orchestra that sucked)...I've done little stuff before for money, like $100 pit band gigs for theater productions, and I did stage band in the spring. I started teaching violin to kids ages 4-70 (no kidding, that's not a typo) last summer, and it went so well with the kids that I started my own studio (http://www.stringsnkeys.com - Under Construction), and I've been teaching there since September.

I play the clarinet in my high school marching band and soon I'll be section leader! But right now for concert season i'm playing the oboe!!! Clarinet players will always rule the world though!

seems as if we have similar musical interests. (except i know much more about viola than violin.)

i've also taught myself guitar. it is more fun, i agree.
