I was just wondering if there are any other band members here. If So what do you play?

I'm a percussion member (Go Drummers) but I am auditioning for drum major tomorrow.

shakerdancee · 1st Jun 2008, 07:39 PM

Oh there are lots of band geeks here. Alto sax/low brass here, and I'm trying out for drum major also

Drummers... eh

I can't play anything worth a damn. But I'm a band whore, sort of. Hang out with local bands, chat with them a lot, give advice, things like that. At least, until they become rich and famous and stop returning my e-mails and phone calls.

Yes. Joe, Isaac, David, Ben. I'm talking to you. Johnny, you're next.

You are not alone!

an Alto Saxophone playing band geek is here as well, i'm a complete band geek, that is i'm in all three bands and the sax quartet at my school and i've been playing for 7 years.

Jeimuzu · 2nd Jun 2008, 05:01 AM

Wow, how come everyone here's so talented?

I've been playing guitar for four years (I know, generic...

).

We need a massive EC band. I was talking about something similar with my brother, yesterday; open source music.

Someone writes a single part and posts it on the internet, someone else adds a layer to it, and again and again and again.

Would be interesting, although recording quality would hold us back somewhat.

Trumpetplyer23 · 2nd Jun 2008, 05:03 AM

I play the trumpet for marching band season and for pep band (band that plays at the basketball games). However, I might play trombone for concert band, I'm not sure though.

Grof142007 · 2nd Jun 2008, 05:09 AM

Wow, are you talking about The Fray? Cos if you are, that's awesome! I loved "How to Save A Life"

I, however, and terribly untalented when it comes to music, although I love singing in the shower and dancing in clubs to music...Yep, that's the extent of my talent
