I started in 5th grade.

I'm a flutist. That pretty much takes up the part of my life that's not about SciOly. xD

Yes! Another Flute player! While it is probably already on here somewhere, I play flute and piccolo.

I dislike the piccolo. It manages to be loud and high-pitched at the same time.

-Guitar.
-Bass. I know the basics. C:
-Drums.
-Violin. I hate it. :C
-Piano.

You should have made that into a pun

"I know the bass-ics"

Ah, but that is half the fun of it! Actually, the noise doesn't bother me like it bothers most people (even other piccolo players). It bothers me sometimes when people who can't play piccolo try to play it, but generally I am fine. I like it because a) it isn't a popular instrument so it tends to be easier to get recognition or join an ensemble, b) it is difficult to play and most flute players I know either can't play it or can play it (poorly) for a short period of time before getting winded, and c) it's always fun to sit next to the 2nd violins in orchestra and play high C. The piccolo NEEDS to be loud and high. There is generally only one that has to be heard across an entire band or orchestra and that is almost impossible. Especially in orchestra when we are towards the back and have to play over the strings.

Eh, no one likes piccolo. Oh well....that's part of the fun of it!

i think a well played piccolo sounds just fine, of course i don't overly like the sound of oboes

I get my audition results tonight!

[boilerup!]

I've played Euphonium for 4 years now. It's the most underappreciated instrument ever. I also play trombone, trumpet, piano, drums, tin whistle, and bodhran. Just out of curiosity, what kind of euphoniums and/or baritones do you guys use. I play a Willson.

[Sheogorath]

It is quite unappreciated, though we have more baritones than trombones.

I think I play a Yamaha, but I'm not sure, its not my instrument, its the schools.
