meh
the 7+8 grade band has to sit
while the not-so-good 6th graders play

they play like 7 songs while we play 4
>.<
its torture just sitting there
carrying our instruments and music
and listening to the clarinets squeak
and the little percussionists trip over each other in a rush to get to their instruments

I play flute and piccolo attempting piano. I kinda really suck! LOL!:-3

I play violin, and at our school orchestra the violas and cellos combined didn't equal the number of violins we had.
I also quite piano last year after almost 5 years of playing, but I'm starting again. I'm happy that my fingers haven't forgotten my old pieces yet.
There were four other people on my SciOly team who played violin, and like 9 piano players. One cello player, no viola players, and a few band kids.

And I fail at the flute. Could not get a single sound of it at the band instrument tryouts. Or, I guess, any other band instrument (how the heck do you buzz?) besides percussion and saxophone (which is why I ended up in orchestra). Never tried piccolo before.

meh
borrowed my school's piccolo
played a high high c on it
the one that s high on the flute

i died that day

I can imagine that experience being rather painful.
I am trying to play the piccolo solo in Stars and Stripes Forever and failing. Is there anyone on here who can play it???

[tuftedtitmouse12]

I'll attempt it if I can get a copy of the music?

The violin is the reason I'm ambidextrous...

Anyone else like this?

Awesome. It's 'Stars and Stripes Forever' by John Philip Sousa (arr. Paul Yoder). Some of the tricky passages are really annoying. Then again, I haven't played it in a while. Good luck, it's an excellent piece.
