TheCube Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Does anyone out there know how to play an instrument? I can play a bit of piano, saxophone, and flute. Also, anyone ever been in a band camp? MAN! Was it hard or what? That should be the new Olympic Sport. Include other band or instrument questions in here as well.

Guest Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) I was a music education major in college, as such, we had to learn a passing knowledge of several instruments... I can play, (but not well!) flute, saxophone, trombone, piano, guitar, and trumpet. The funny thing is, I was a vocal emphasis... so I guess you could add kazoo to the list I have also had to learn the accordion and violin for theater shows I've been in. Keep in mind with the exception of the piano and guitar, these are passing knowledge only, I'm not ready to play in a band or anything!

TheCube Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Well almost anyone can play a kazoo. I can play a bit of guitar too nut its just like for lead guitar because I never play chords on it but I play them on a piano though.

Thalia Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Band geek all the way! No band camp though. Flute and Piano. Kazoo when our band teacher decided that an instrument ban wasn't going to stop us from playing at a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCube Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 If you are in the military and go to band camp you'd be like, "And I thought the army was hard." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalia Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 It's pouring down rain. A couple of us planned ahead and brought gloves. The rest are getting soaked. Most of us are forgetting to breathe. Drill instructor: "I'm sorry. I wasn't paying attention that time. DO IT AGAIN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thalia Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Branch? That was marching band, not the military. I'm only 18. We've had some er. . . interesting drill instructors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaryan Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 I play trumpet... Our band camps are okay, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger_lily111 Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Ah, band camp. Enjoyed my time in marching band in HS & uni, but I'm old now & no way in hell doing that anymore. (Though if I go back to school again, I will probably do concert band & pep bands. It's that fun.) Now I get to do alumni band & threaten to not give money to the department every two years when they make us remember all the marching & chart reading & doing it again ... & again & again & again. Technically I can play the piano but haven't in a looong time. Play flute & piccolo, with a few other odd-duck instruments during my time (pit percussion marimba/xylophone, cymbals, brake drum was interesting ... & loud , a *little* alto flute, & the odd bit of recorder, clarinet, & water goblets).

MissKitten Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Well, I can proudly say I play the voice. (For everybody who doesn't get it, I sing. You'd be surprised how many people there are) But I also play decent piano, nothing too good, but decent. I also had about a year of basic French horn. I've forgotten it all now, but it was there. I also play a teeny-weeny bit of viola and violin. So not a lot. But I am proud of my voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I play the piano, guitar, tuba, voice, and violin but I think I'm best at playing the voice. (this is my opinion, although it probably doesn't help that I only play the voice in the shower.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalia Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Band camp in less than 4 weeks! Hooray?! We're college students. We can remember how to breathe now right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thalia Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Unfortunately, we don't really do much marching anymore. We march in a homecoming parade and on and off the field for the fight song, national anthem. Otherwise, we "casually walk" where we're going. Nice to see you back here.
