Respecting the composer.
One day during band class, my band director Ms. Lowe passed out our fight song. As long as I could remember, even from my older brother being in marching band back in 2005 and from the band playing in the morning from my seventh grade year, our viper fight song was a song that separated us from other schools. It’s a very joyful and happy song and at the end, it has a little snake charmer...

omgwtfrina asked: Just to answer the question asked earlier... What made you pick the instruments you play? What about them appealed to you?
When I was 10, my grandpa offered to pay for an instrument when concert band recruiters came to my school. I wanted to play the clarinet but he said, "No! That's so loud and squeaky... play flute instead." ...So I did. He paid for the instrument...

aerophonophiliac asked: I actually started out playing French Horn my sophomore year of HS -- a couple of my friends and I were being derps and singing "Still Alive" from portal (Y'know, back when it was still cool) and the band teacher comes out and is all "Hey, you have a good singing voice... SO YOU SHOULD JOIN BAND!" Which made sense. Somehow. In any case, I started learning other instruments...
alleeexxxx asked: We're going to have 18 tubas in our band next year.
I can NOT wait.

followamyhere asked: I picked the clarinet because I thought I had to (because of my dad). I was pretty miserable playing it because I couldn't play it well so I thought something was wrong with me. Then I switched over to bass clarinet and it turns out that I'm actually really fantastic at it for some reason.

microloisir-deactivated20120128 asked: I just went through all 100+ pages of this blog.
What.
Also, as a baritone/t-bone player, I have the burning desire to ask: What made you pick the instruments you play? What about them appealed to you?
