<3 Ode to Marching Band :D

My Band has 2 full bands other than the MB... Symphonic Band (top ensemble) and Concert Band (Others). I'm in symphonic... 1st chair!!

I'm curious to know about other schools and their bands...

That's really cool! I made 2nd chair at an honor band clinic. Too bad it was in the lowest non-honor band, and everyone else was like two years younger than me at best.

Well, I'm in Mississippi State University's the Famous Maroon Band (famous is really part of the name ).

MSU (Mississippi State University) has three concert bands: Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, Concert Band. The Wind Ensemble is the highest band, but I'm not quite in that one. The Symphonic Band, I think, is where you get put if your in the marching band. I don't know what chair I'm in yet because they don't do auditions until October. Well the Concert Band is an extra low band/community band. I think music majors play secondary insrtuments in that band .

Are you in the Marching Band? lol... I'm a complete marching band geek. It's great. Anyways... Good luck with your auditions in October!! (YES I know it's a little early to be wishing you luck.)
