Total band geek here. I play euphonium, which is also known as a baritone or a mini tuba to those unknowing people. I am in marching band, pep band, and then a concert band. If I would have known how much I was going to like band I would have made trumpet my first instrument so I could be in jazz band. Yeah..band geek present. But as much as I love band, I love robotics more. :D

I happen to play the trombone, a very peculiar but exciting instrument as my English teacher would say. I enjoy its comic sounds such as sounding like really bad farts. That's the reason why I play the trombone. My music teacher said it was the clown instrument due to its farting ability. A perfect choice for my humorous attitude. I play in a concert band which is decent expect for the numbers of trumpets who don't practice. For all of you who don't know what a trombone looks like

It actually has a similar mod to mine.

I am learning to play the bagpipes, just because I have always wanted to. I wouldn't subject anyone to listening to a sample of at my current "skill" level (let's just say it is very similar to the sound made by a long-tailed cat that has been sleeping too close to a rocking chair...).

But maybe by next year we could have the FIRST Pipe-and-Drum Corps?

Our school has a pep band that attends just about every sporting event and rally. What the team wants is to see if we are allowed to have a band play while our robot is on the field. That would be so cool.

I can play piano and i have a couple of synths.... I can play a little bass guitar...and pretend to be able to play regular guitar (TO MANY STRINGS!!)

I also play circuit bent instruments.

Well, you know what Mr.C says about singing high...

WOW THAT HURT!!!!!:eek:

Now we need an alto and a soprano.

No seriously I can hit most of the tenor notes even though I'm bass.

[Thought/]
Rajan can hit a high B flat without going falsetto. That's tenor for you.
[/Thought]

Now, what are we going to sing/play?

I play S. Violin. I am currently working on my Vivaldi Concerto in Am, 3rd Movement.

I can't wait for my Boch Double (Concerto for Two Violins) music gets here.

Ideal method of "discipline" for Misinformation to teach her to make wiser use of the photoshop program it sounds like.

*gives you a freakin' huge hug*
I love you :D


I saw this awesome violinist perform last night, Axel Strauss, he was a guest performer for the Napa Valley Symphony (I guess it pays to live it a ritzy-old-person town)...Oh man, it was breath-taking. I was about to cry...So was my sister. It was amazing.
He played "The Lark Ascending" by Ralph Vaughan Williams and "Tzigane" by Maurice Ravel.

I play the piano...lol i was hoping i could find a place to practice at SVR but the piano in our hotel had two crucial keys knocked off.

do any guys play the trumpet?
some guy last year was playing the Godfather theme song at the Silicon Valley regional, it was really nice...

boys that play and instrument is a plus :D

Yo Yo Ma has got to be the tightest celloist. That guy is so cool though he is forgetful. One time he actually left his cello in a cab on his way to a concert. That would so stink, showing up for a huge performance and, "Oops. I forget my cello." He got it back though. What we should do is bring in all our instruments with some prearranged pep band music. Have a specific song for each team. Sounds crazy but it could work.

I can sing soprano, but I harmonize pretty well too. I'm up for doing an ensemble. Now, if only I could get rid of my cold/allergies. Do you know how hard it is to sing when you're coughing every 5 bars? sheesh...
