No offense to you, but i've been doing band for about 6 years. 4 or 5 of them being marching band. In this time i have also been an active member here.
I've done a lot of shows, played a lot of music, learned a lot of stuff. But i never really brought it up because a lot of us do this. As i said, no offense and i'm not trying to seem dismissive, but this is really just more of something for a blog.
