    Like Ms. Cory, I too am a Band Corrector... I have just been a band geek a bit longer than she has though :wink:

    When I was in Band I started on the baritone, then moved to tuba... that was my major instrument. As a band director of course I have a rudimentary knowledge of all the major band instruments... All are important ... (yes, even the dummers are important).... --- just kidding guys... you really are the heartbeat of the band....

    Awww! <3 I just wish there was a way to have Colorguard (or marching band in general!) post-college. It would be great exercise! XD And so much fun!

    Started out on cornet in 4th grade, 6th grade switched to tuba and never looked back. Played all through school and beyond... 30+ years so far and no plans to quit anytime soon. After my wife and children, music brings the most joy to my life.

    I was band president & drum major my senior year. It owned my life.
