School Band

is anyone else in their school band? if so what insturment do you play?

Ok so this is my 1st year in band for school, and the only reason why i am doing it is because most of my friends are in band. I am on the Bass drum number 3 to be exact. and today we started band camp(now i know what you're thinking here. a week or so in the woods, no!) we have practices this week from noon untill 8 in the evening. and my friends were like this is going to be the worst week of your life. so i have done football, wrestling, and baseball. Band is byfar the easiest, i definitley overestimated it. learning the songs is fairly simple. and marching on the football feild is kind of confusing but ill have it down in a few days.

not really sure what my point was, im just frustrated right now. if this is in the wrong section please move it

I played the Trumpet from 3rd grade all the way through High School. I was obviously in the Band, but I enjoyed the Jazz Ensemble way more (the music was so much better, more freedom, more upbeat). My friends (who were also trumpet players) and I really had a good time all those years and it's a shame none of us continued after High School ended.

EDIT: I never had to do any camp in the summer....that sounds a little excessive.

I played the recorder in Elementary School... Played the trombone for a couple months then moved to the snare drum in middle school. Then decided I was much better at sports and dropped out of band the following year in Middle School.

I played the drums for my middle school jazz band one year. But it kinda sucked not being able to read music and being the best one there. They wanted me to play a majority of the pieces, yet I couldn't read the music sheets.

I never want to read music though. I think that drummers should play by their own feelings and sense of beat. It's such a unique instrument.

I'm curious to know, what are some of the songs (past and present) that your playing? Maybe I'll recognize a few.
