This thread will be a place where musicians, past musicians, future musicians, etc. can all gather and talk about things such as: -what instruments you play -what you currently do musically (or the last thing you did) -musical goals -gear (brand of instrument, model (if known)) -musical accomplishments -favorite/least favorite memories from music related experiences (ex: stories from marching band, everything that went wrong before the show, etc.) -anything else you can think of that will fit into this topic So...I am both a trumpet player and a drummer. I am a senior in high school and I play trumpet in my school's top band (which is called Wind Ensemble), Jazz Band, and I play the drums for the school's pep band at the basketball games. So I made it to area on trumpet and I my goal is to make the all-state band and auditions for that are coming up in January so I'm practicing my little tail off for that. As far as gear goes, I love King trumpets. I play on the King 2055t, more commonly called the "King Silver Flair" and I use a King 3C Megatone mouthpiece. Drum Wise, I use Yamaha drums and I use Vic Firth sticks.
