[Briarmom]

Flute/picc (Flute performance was my major in College for awhile)
Oboe/English Horn
I've played Soprano/Alto/Tenor Sax in jazz bands
I learned how to play the Bassoon, but couldn't do it now.

I sure wish I still was involved in music. It'd be nice to do something you like for a change.

I used to play Marimba and Xylophone in our high school band. We actually had the mallet instruments mounted on carts to wheel out and set up at the edge of the field during marching performances.

Piano for the past 20 years or so. I play at church part-time. Always wished I could play brass, but I transferred to public school too late to join band.

My husband is a guitar NUT! He can play bass and drums, too.

I play the clarinet, and played the tenor sax in high school for marching band.

I joined a Community Band three years ago and I love it! We start rehearsals again next week. My DS 12 plays French Horn and he joined the Community Band last year. I love having the opportunity to play in the band with him. Hopefully my DD 10 will be able to join next year.

I played clarinet, sax (alto), baritone, flute and guitar. Loved that marching band in HS! Yes, it's true.... I was a band geek.

 

[SplshMtn99]

Our small high school was VERY big into music. We had an awesome teacher....with TONS of awards for MANY MANY MANY YEARS.

Played clarinet from 7th grade to 12th grade.
Added the alto sax from 10th grade to 12th grade.
Added oboe for 11th & 12th grades.

Was in marching band, stage (jazz) band & concert band.

Also gave private lessons to 6 elementary students while I was in 12th grade. It was a program our high school had where we taught elementary students.

Getting on the school bus carrying 3 instrument cases & books was FUN my last 2 yrs of school. LOL

Can you say BAND GEEK??!!!!! Central district. All state.

I even won a scholorship to summer music camp held at Univ of RI. While there, I had to learn another instrument, so I decided on the guitar.

And we had a 2 keyboard organ at home that I dabbled on.
