I'm a flautist and I play but a bit of Piano (And later, I would like to learn the Oboe.).
I'm rather dedicated to my flute.
(Yes, I'm a band geek.)
I'm currently not doing anything special with it though. I'm yet to make it into Honor Band -- I just get really nervous during the try-outs -- and I'm not planning on joining Marching Band next year. I just play in our School's band, and I hope to do Concert Band next year in High School. Our band's a bit on the small side though, compared to my old school. My Old school had 210 people in their 8th grade band; my current school has 40 -- Only six flutes too (including myself).
Otherwise, this weekend I got to borrow the School's Piccolo to practice and later try-out for the Solo in
'Stars and Stripes Forever'. After getting used to it, I fell in love. The funny thing is, today when I picked up my regular flute, it felt so big and bulky, and I had problems getting some of the lower notes out!
(Oh the irony!)
