Lip size, teeth formation, possibility of braces in the future -- all these things have an impact. My band director had me pegged as a sax player right from the get-go.<BR/><BR/>As mentioned earlier, some of the more oddball instruments provide an easier pathway to District Band honors and the like. We used to have a very pedestrian bassoon player, but there were so few of those that he was ALWAYS selected for districts. Oboe, english horn, bass clarinet, baritone horn are others in that category. (Some don't get to be in marching band, though -- particularly the double-reed instruments like bassoon, oboe or english horn. Those are also out if you want to be in stage or jazz bands.)<BR/><BR/>Sax is a nice versatile instrument -- welcome everywhere. (Well, some orchestras exclude them, but most high school orchestras will take a sax or two just to fill out the sound. Alto saxes usually double the french horn parts, and tenors double the trombone parts.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-1144851285877080352006-04-12T10:14:00.000-04:002006-04-12T10:14:00.000-04:00We did find one beer bottle top as we cleaned the ...We did find one beer bottle top as we cleaned the bus, so some drinking must have happened. If it was in the room and nobody else was bothered, it falls into "tree falling in the woods" territory as far as I'm concerned.<BR/><BR/>We made it in 17 hours going down which included two meal stops. The return trip took 18 hours in part because of the bus breakdown. Not bad time, but not the 16 hours anticipated. Last year they thought we could go from Boston to Liberty Park in NJ in 2.5 hours. That was dreaming.yellojkthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592683505688819187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-1144849268619426332006-04-12T09:41:00.000-04:002006-04-12T09:41:00.000-04:00Shoot...I can do Tampa in sixteen hours. Well, Cle...Shoot...I can do Tampa in sixteen hours. Well, Clearwater, anyway. <BR/><BR/>It may sound kind of dumb, but I think the key is really to let some of the smaller transgressions happen, but make them aware of your knowledge. For instance: some kids are just naturally going to stay up later; great. Hang out with them. This way they're "breaking the rules" but they're still supervised. And you come off no worse than being the Socially Inept Guy who thinks he can hang with the kids. This will go two ways: either they'll decide that your presence is no fun at all and go to bed in a more timely fashion, or you can have No Sympathy Whatsoever when they have to get up at 7:00. (Of course, you'll have to be looking Fresh As A Daisy when you come bounding up with a bright & cheerful "GOOD MORNING, KIDDIES!")Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-1144837173669472432006-04-12T06:19:00.000-04:002006-04-12T06:19:00.000-04:00That's my fear.

So I didn't get a say in the process. He ended up with trumpet, which is okay as there are few pieces for him to loose.<BR/><BR/>The eldest played flute and keyboards, but has given both up in favour of dance.<BR/><BR/>You must be a decent chaperone if they got away with so little.
