    I played trombone as my main instrument in symphonic band. My secondary instrument was baritone and I marched with it for 5 years (4 in high school, 1 in college). I cannot march anymore because I messed up my knee...

    I'm seeing about doing marching band for this upcoming season with either my clarinet or saxophone. We do 4 concerts each school year for a grade and we go to festival in the spring. I may sound really stupid by asking this but whats a Pops concert?

    I was in both - played the flute all four years in high school (which has been the subject of a series of never-ending jokes, mostly perpetuated by myself, ever since I came out).

    My first three years in high school I played trumpet in concert, jazz, and marching band, then quit all that my senior year and was on 2nd bass in drumline which was a lot more fun.

    I was in marching band and concert band (first chair baby!) all four years of high school. I played trombone and baritone. Now, in college, I'm not continuing trombone or baritone but now I'm playing piano...

    I originally wanted to play trumpet but I can't play brass instruments at all so now I just stick to reed instruments.My band director was desperate for a tenor sax 2 for jazz band so he was like, "Its in the same key as your clarinet! You"ll do fine!" I couldn't play it at all mostly because I couldn't loosen up enough so that was pretty much an epic fail.

    I played the Tenor sax in my marching band, but I gave that up for theatre arts. :slight_smile: I still play the sax though.

    I played for 4 years in high school. I played the baritone in marching and concert band. We played at the orange bowl parade in florida along with disney world and universal studios. We also went and played at pearl harbor in hawaii. it was a blast.
