from one band geek to another:

The low brass being cooler than the trumpets...?? I don't know about that...

I played flute for 3 years but my hardcore band geek (I use the word geek lovingly, cuz we are the coolest people I know) days came from when I became a drummer in 8th grade (percussionist for the sophisticated). Band ruled, marching band especially (drummer boys do have a tendency to get a little ego about them though so I'd watch out ) I loved my time in band sooooo much the friends I have from HS are my band friends, I even went back to alumni night at band camp last week and I was filled with alot of the same feelings I get from being greek. I also miss playing with a group, I used to love to play the xylophone....sigh.. anyway, I'm drifting off into nostalgia. Congrats to both your sons, I'm sure they do very well and will go far. I suggest buying some ear muffs though
