I do not play in high school (the band teacher sucks.)

I did play during Middle School, I played the Trumpet (Funny story actually, I picked the trumpet because I thought it was the trombone. I was stupider back then)

Percussion has always intrigued me.

Have you played anything on the marimba? I have played Don't Stop Believing and the US National Anthem on the trumpet for the Middle School band. The band was extremly good, getting a 2 at a band judging thing.

Given that Marimba is my main instrument, I’ve played a lot on it. TBH I love playing my instrument but kinda just play band songs, or I just figure out how to play quick short melodies, rather than full pieces.

Also I play the 1 part on everything even though I’m a freshy lol bc no one else that plays mallets really cares

I actually have band in about an hour lol

Percussion ensemble :D

We don't have 'main instruments', as every new song we get assigned or pick a different instrument

I LOVE BAND

I'm in a concert band, we just started rehearsing, so the music is way too easy - We've played a piece called 'Fandango' which spotlights the Marima if you want to know.

I play alto Saxophone

I played trumpet every year in my middle school band and for my freshman year in high school, I stopped after I got braces that made it too uncomfortable to play
