I went to a performing arts school from 4-12 grades, meaning no sports, meaning no marching band.
5th grade: Began clarinet. Got all the way to advanced wind ensemble in 10th grade and was first chair Senior year.
8th grade: Began violin. Got to intermediate string orchestra before I realized I never was going to get into advanced (I couldn't play vibrato on it to save my life).
10th grade: Quit Violin, began string bass. Got to advanced orchestra and jazz band.
I was also in pit orchestra for when we did productions. I played bass clarinet and regular clarinet in Paint your Wagon, Sweeney Todd, She Loves Me and Broadway Sampler.
I got too busy in college cause I work every day. I was asked to try marching band because I'd get priority registration, but our band is awful, and I kinda don't want the band dork rep again.
