@MikeSaurus wow thats a pretty good goal there! and with that kind of attitude im sure youll acheive your goal no problem :) and yes the tutor would help you get better faster! and lol none of the music my band plays is challenging for me! but then again im just crazy :p hehehe were Bb buddies!!! i play the trumpet!! did i already say that?... o.o no i didnt!!! ok. and lol those notes for a trumpet are harder to hit. im glad to hear your music experience is going good! keep up the good work!

I'm gonna try and convince my band teacher to let us play this.. we have a fairly large 8th grade band.

@marthwert im considering getting a tutor though so that i can really excell in my insturment.. (my GOAL is to be a music teacher and to play with an orchestra) SO YEAH. :-D ITS ALL GOOD

@marthwert playing with the grade 12s i admit, at times can be a bit err.. awkward but I LOVE MUSIC and i would do anything to play my lovely b flat yamaha shiny black clarinet. the music we are playing FOR ME personally is somewhat challenging.. there's a couple new notes i learned (high eflat/dsharp/) in gr 7 (when i started playing) we got up to bflat and in grade 8 we went up to high bflat so i GUESS it is somewhat challenging

@MikeSaurus wow so there are seperate bands for each grade? they must be small :o and starting in 9th grade doesnt give you much time to grow... unless you have a private tutor :p but at least you can be with a group that challenges you, i hope o.o. i hope things turn out better though, dont let this one thing turn you dwoon from music :p who knows maybe youll like it

@marthwert im in highschool now and i'm SO DISSAPOINTED. I just switched to the Catholic system (from the Public System) and apparantly they start playing insturments in grade 9!!! But luckily my music teacher allows me to play in the grade 11 & 12 band, which isn't that bad...

OMG!!!! I am a colorguard at la canada high school, our show in 2008 was also wicked, and our mascot is the Spartans!

[marthwert]

@MikeSaurus i doubt many high school bands are actually that big, but i hope you get into an awesome marching band! marching band is one of the best experiences in high school in my experience! I like kids who are enthuisiastic about music! :) keep up the good work!

I wish my band can ATTEMPT this song but we lack in ALL instruments -_- I'm in eigth grade so everybody thinks they are "2 c001 4 sk001" which really sucks. There's literally 1 trombone, 1 bass, 2 saxophones, 3 flutes 2 clarinets ( one being me ^_^) and 2 trumpets. I hope in high school i'll get a chance to be in a band from this caliber (:

We don't have the numbers in our band to do this show. You need trumpets, and low brass. Both of which we lack in.
