Man, I really miss playing in the jazz band. I played in it from 7th grade through the very first part of 12th, but collapsed my lung and couldn't play for the rest of the year. You should switch to bari, it's SOOOO much more fun.

I was in band, jazz band, and show choir back-up band.  I was a drum major and played alto and tenor sax.  I was a jock too!!!  When I was a senior we had 169 members.

I have considered switching to a tenor but that would mean using a school horn and that would be dumb. Besides, my case is the coolest.

I played in a high school band, and a rock band. I miss both.

The strange thing is that I got more umm............well............ female attention on the band bus than back stage.

Band geeks got more than a lot of football players I knew.

It's hard to get a good swing with a tuba.  I'd put long odds that RVertigo could do a lot more damage with his bass.  :P

I started playing alto sax in the 6th grade, but switched to tenor and marched in the 8th and 9th grade.  I quit band in the 10th grade for basketball and baseball and by the 11th grade I was working to pay for a car :)   My senior year I joined the jazz band again but those 3 years that I didn't play took their toll... i wasn't good.  I sometimes wish i had a tenor again to play, but its been about 14 years  :o  since i last touched one, i guess I'd better just stick to guitar now.

Nice pics.  200+ people, damn.  We never even hit 100.  Ahh, brings back such scarring high school memories.  I was a drum major, and played piccolo, second chair flute (damn you jenny kong!), and played xylophone/marimba in winter Drumline.

"And this one time, at bandcamp..."

No way man. Our band was full of horny kids. It was like a god damn erotic soap opera. There was so much going on, it was insane. You'd be VERY VERY surprised to know what goes on during band trips.

Holy hell. I didn't notice that the first time thru, I think my brain censored it for me. For some stupid reason I went back to page 1...  The band at my high school actually had a rather flambouyant young man on the color guard. Hilarity ensued.

I was in marching band for 7 years. All through high school, junior high and elementry. It kicked ass cause i wrestled in high school too. got me out of the after school marching practice around the track, instead i had to do buddy carries up the stairs at the stadium, grr. lol. I started out playing baritone and in high school got switched to tuba about half way through. In our band the Tuba's were the pets, we didnt have to do anything, and our director loved us. We had 6 tuba's and we all go to wear berets...nice :). lol. Plums dont fit under the bell anyways...
