Re: Instruments?
But I don't wanna miss class to take oboe lessons! I hate missing class! You have to make up the classwork and do the homework once every week.

Re: Instruments?
I played the oboe for a summer.
It was kinda fun.
I played percussion for the past 8 years, and I hated it. But it got me into Wind Ensemble, so I stuck with it.
Not that I was any good on drums. I was only decent on mallet percussion, cause i play piano.
I wish I had picked a wind instrument for the school band, percussion was not my thing.
At least since I graduated, I never have to play percussion again.

Re: Instruments?
Tclme, are you still gonna take lessons from my neighbor? Or was that only for the summer?
I went over one time while you were having a lesson and I went up to the door to see if you could see me but you were just concentrating.

Re: Instruments?
Robodude, you're gonna be so proud of me. I read the intro to THGTTG today. It wasn't too bad, in fact, it was good. But don't even get me started on the first chapter...ugh.
