Started out playing the trumpet in 6th grade Mediocre at best.<br>Switched over to baritone/euphonium after my director said I would be pretty good at it. Well I guess he was right. Played through out HS solo here and there opened up a field show once, my solo was the opening notes of the entire show damn that was fun. I can still play that solo and I am 10 years removed from it.<br>Played baritone/euphonium for 3 years in college. I was okay played for enjoyment really.<p>After my third year of college I switched to tuba because I was about to kill my section leader. Besides tuba, Low Brass, playing some bass. We were powerful. Played it for the remainder of my college career for four years (I got my masters). I was one of the only guys to actually graduate for awhile. We were a pretty hard partying group. During that time I played tuba I still played baritone during B-ball season in the Spirit Band. <p>I also have gotten the opportunity to play baritone again for the Spirit Band. <p>So I guess this about makes me the penultament band geek, proud.<br>I guess it was worth it though. I got to go to Kansas City, Baltimore, New York, and Seattle, FOR FREE. Sit on the floor of the Final Four Game. Let's see where else: Lexington, KY; Buffalo, NY; Indianapolis, IN; Lincoln, NB; Alamo Bowl,. A few places I never would have gotten to go, so yeah it was and still is well worth it.
