That would include me. I was clarinet. Played from 7th grade through my first 2 years of college. I haven't played in a few years, but I can still read music, so i guess we're doing good, right? LOL

My high school marching band, which I was a part of, was part of the inaugural parade for Bush's first inauguration.

I hung out with the drummers too much (my best friend was a drummer) and I started drumming on my chest during the day! HAHA!!!

I played the trumpet in elementary school and middle school. In high school I was the color guard captain for 3 years.

I wasn't able to do color guard during my senior year because I was taking college courses as well. During junior and senior year, our band teacher made it mandatory to take band if you wanted to be in the color guard. I was able to do it my junior year but not my senior... =(

Oh yea. I was a supreme band geek. But oddly enough, being in band at my school was socially acceptable. :) I played tenor saxophone, worked my ass off to be lead in everything and I even did drum majoring. GEEK!

I played flute from 6th grade all the way to senior year. I was in pit (also known as the percussion that doesn't march) all in high school. I couldn't be in the actual marching band due to my cerebral palsy.

Hey hey!!! I was in the colorguard for 5 years!!! Wooohooo!!! I loved it! If I could go back to high school and just do colorguard, I would. We were part of the marching band and went to awesome places that I wouldn't have gotten to see if I didn't join. I was on the weapon line my last two years of high school......and I still have my flag, rifle and saber.

I play classical, a little jazz, and mostly Christian music (church pianist). I supported myself through college playing for churches, weddings and other venues.
