jceman 1 #30 September 24, 2003 QuoteYeah I played clarinnet, bass clarinet, trombone, piano. Was in 2 choirs and a cheerleader. (Shhhhhhh don't tell anybody) One day at band camp..... Hmmm. Well, I was in 2 choirs and toured for three years with a folk trio (it was the Sixties, gimme a break, ok?) and was in touring choir in college. Played guitar a bit then, but can't even form a simple chord nowadays, even though the old Harmony Monterey leans against the wall behind me as I type this. TLML played alto sax from age 8 through college, first chair all four years in HS, same in the jazz band and has numerous firsts in state in everything from solos to reed choir. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeedToJump 0 #32 September 24, 2003 I played piano starting around maybe age 8 and quit when I was 14. I started playing trombone at the beginning of sophomore year of high school and did all-county/all-state/etc and ended up going to a music conservatory. I was lucky enough to enjoy being a professional musician for a while - I've done studio work (cds and recordings), shows, clubs, hotels, been a featured soloist/clinician in other countries... phew... Then skydiving came into the picture and I've re-evaluated my priorities and I've shifted from being musician and part-time computer programmer to full-full-time computer programmer and very-part time musician.

Unstable 9 #33 September 24, 2003 I wasn't a Band Geek - i was much worse. I was a total Orchestra Geek for all my high School. Yup, i'm proud of it. Symphony Orchestra in the morning, Chamber after school, Manhattan String Ensemble on the Weekends, Gold Orchestra on Saturday Mornings - Salina Symphony monday nights. I'm like a marching band geek with a stringed instrument and a bow. Blue ones,=========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unstable 9 #34 September 24, 2003 ON a further note - one of the greatest skydivers in the State of Kansas, a Mr. Jim Sharp, owner of Skydive Kansas was a band geek (i think). He taught band and jazz before he became a DZO. Good Guy.=========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
