Oh man, I was a total band geek! I play the flute and piccolo and I was in school band, our city's concert & marching band as well as our provincial youth orchestra. I did the band camps for 3 years (met my first BF there and had my first kiss so I'll always remember it). I also was an alternate for our symphony for a couple of years. On top of this I took private lessons and also taught them myself for 10 years! I still play every week in a Ukrainian orchestra and dance group (I'm very Irish, but the music is quite difficult and very fast so it keeps me on my toes!). I've been to WDW twice to perform (once with our marching band in 1983 and once with our Ukrainian group in 1995) which was so much fun! I hope to always keep playing because after 23 yrs of practice I hate to give it up (and since i'm an accountant by trade, it's nice to have a completely different hobby!).
