Jazz/concert/marching band, I don't care. If so, which one(s) are you in, what instrument do you play, and what do you enjoy about it the most? I play Annoying Orangeet in marching band and concert band. Currently playing Sousa (Washington Post) and some other pieces.

Im also a professional electric triangle player, the less celebrated part of my music career.

My range is a high D#, working on an E, I could try to explain what I did, but usually when I explain it makes no sense to people. What grade are you in, though? Just curious.

9th grade. Some of my parts need to go up to high b (not sure what to call it. triple b???) and I can probably get up to a high g, but I pretty much blow my chops fast when I do it.
