So who's in band?

So....
being a band geek, I'm wondering how any of you fellow FIRSTers out there are in band at you school/ college (or other music group, like chorus or orchestra). And also, what instrument do you play.

I play trombone in: wind ensemble, symphonic band (and marching band from september to november), both jazz bands, and from time to time brass quintet at my school.

I have been playing trombone for 8 years now

Well I'm in A band but ALOT of the kids on the team are in the band. I'm more like an honerary band member because most of my friends consist of band geeks etc. My Band on the other hand is named 'Lozer' We play punk/alternative. If only we could afford to buy all the instruments needed. . . LoL.

I play trumpet in the marching band, Wind Ensemble, and Jazz Ensemble.

So, here's a band joke:

How does a trumpet player introduce himself?

"Hi, I'm better than you..."

I was in band from 5th grade all the way up to this year. Why up to this year? I've been trying to get out of it since I was forced into marching band by my parents. The only reason I got out of it this year is because of 2 things: my brother came to HS and he was playing football and soccer (I had to quit soccer because I had no time for it because of band) and he couldn't be in band, so I convinced them that if he didn't have to be in band, neither did I. Also, I convinced them that Electronics class in the vocational school connected to our school would have been a better class for me to take, so far I have been right.

Theres my $0.02 of rambling

I played trumpet for 7 years...and I sucked...I was forced into band. Luckily, I had a scheduling problem this year forcing me to have Sociology in place of band. Man, was I happy

I'm pretty musically inclined...I just don't like to be _forced_ into things. I'm a semi-decent guitarist. I used to play piano (and still can, sort of ). I can play simple stuff on the harmonica...and I just plain suck at the trumpet.

I used to play clarinet/ E-flat alto clarinet from 4th grade until I was a senior in HS, but I gave it up in college.
