You don't even want to get me started on instruments! XD
I play Alto Sax, Bari Sax, and Piano. I might be learning Trumpet soon, and I want a Triple Chamber Ocarina for Christmas this year.
Music is my major. When I get a job, I want to be either a high school band teacher, a composer, or I want to play in an orchestra. (Boston philharmonics anyone?!?!) I'm going to band teacher, and composer will probably become a side job. So orchestra is my backup.
If I can't get a career in music, I'm screwed.
I'm 3rd chair Alto Sax in my schools Concert Band. But that's just because I didn't take my audition to seriously. (I didn't practice my audition sheet) After our Christmas concert (Which is on the 20th of this month), we get to reaudition. I'm going to take it seriously this time so I can get 1st chair Alto Sax. I have the skills for it. I'm actually better than the guy who currently has that position!
I also play Bari Sax, but I haven't touched the Bari in a year. I played it for 3 years in Concert Band, that's it. I'm done with Bari. In all honesty, Alto is much better! (imo) But Bari was also a good experience for me!
I'm also in Marching Band. Our theme this year was Swing. At the start, our percussion did The Entertainer. (For like 30 seconds) then the entire band did Sing Sing Sing (Benny Goodman). The percussion at the beginning was a pretty nice effect and kinda reminded me of the start of the Donkey Kong Country theme.
After Sing Sing Sing, we go into a song called Summertime (I'm not sure where it's from, all I know is it's from a musical). I didn't like Summertime very much, it was too slow for my liking. our 3rd song was Caravan. It was at 160 BPM (Beats per minute), so it was kinda tricky at first, but it was pretty cool. And finally, our close piece was Zoot Suit Riot! (Cherry Popin' Daddy's) It was VERY cool!
I'm wanting to get my own Alto Sax, as mine is a loner. My mom said we'll look into it.
And I can also arrange sheet music. It's a fun little hobby of mine. Actually, here is some of my arrangements. They turned out really well!

I have more than that. I just can't upload more than 5 to that site because I don't feel like paying $4 a month! XD
