I'm sure a lot of you played instruments in high school. So, what did you play, and if you quit, why? Did you like playing your instrument, or did your parents make you do it. I remember about half my high school band didn't want to be there. And how many of you still play?

I still play my trumpet every day, because I still find it fun to practice. I played a wedding gig last week for really lousy pay, but it was still fun.

I played drums, and marched in a drum and bugle corp as a Tenor player.
Also played trombone, and concert percussion stuff.

Piano, violin. Still dabble with violin a bit, but nowhere near as good as I was back when I was at the regularly practicing 8-year mark.

I played trumpet for 7 years up until high school graduation, and did every sort of band thing there was to do. i played one semester in college, but it was nowhere near as fun and I didn't really have the time. I still have both of my trumpets but it's been a while since I've played for more than just a couple minutes.

Drums are so very much my strength. I eat, breathe, dream, live, and sh|t rhythm.
