I wish I could have convinced my parents to keep paying for my sax after I quit band.

Yeah, trombone was cheaper I think so we managed to get it done by the time I was out of school.  Now when I play in a band this coming semester I'll have another instrument available to add to the band.

I assume you played longer than I did though.

From fourth grade up until the end of high school.

I think I played from fourth grade to about seventh grade, or maybe I quit after sixth. Band practice was pretty awful, I had to give up my recess to ride over to the public school, and then we were constantly teased. I distinctly remember sitting there playing whatever I wanted just to see if anyone would notice. No one ever did.

SaltyJon wrote: Ah, I loved band.  I was one of the few people in our band who actually enjoyed it, and stayed in by my own will rather than by forcing of parents.  I would have been fine if I had it twice or three times a day, even.

I loved it before I changed schools.

SaltyJon wrote: Yeah, I don't know what I would have thought at a different school.  Probably the same.  I just love making music/sound.

If I had always went to the school I finished in I think I would have been in band the whole time.

I am starting to confuse myself talking about so many different schools I went to. 

SaltyJon wrote: I only went to one high school, with our whopping 34 or so graduating class.

I went to three. Our graduating class was somewhere from 70-80 or something like that, I forget.

Yeah, ours might have been bigger than 34, but it was either that or 63...I think the 63 is more reasonable.  We were one of our school's biggest ever classes at that.
