Heyy last year I took my band trip to NYC. We didn't go to D.C. though -
I was in Symphonic Band, jazz band, and *gasp* CHOIR!!! (laugh all you want - we scored #1 choir out of 20+ competing schools )

And for your listening pleasure, here's some mp3 clips of our stuff from the event
"Minute Man" was done by the full Symphonic Band
"Norwegian Wood"- a cover of the classic Beatle's song, was done by the Jazz Ensemble.
Listen^^ you will hear a trombone solo eventually. that's ME!!! %100 improv hooah.

I took some pics too, I might post them up here some other time.

So what instrument do you play

awesome. i cant wait cause playing infront of the Statue of Liberty will kick ass.

believe it or not..i play the Flute :blink: for a multitude of reasons actually but some are
-all the other people in there (excluding 4 of them) are hot girls (the other 4 are mostly ugly girls IMO)
-after hearing music from RPG games that used a Flute i got inspired to learn how to play it along with a few others.
-im into music anyways although at some instruments im a slow learner but i wish to learn how to play lots of instruments
-hot girls in the section :biggrin:

however i am also learning how to play Bass guitar....although thats going very slowly. and once i can play somewhat i plan on joining my school's jazz band

anyways my problem with this trip is that if i have someone preorder CnC3 for me and say i get it the day it comes out then i will only get to play it for a few hours oh well this trip will kick ass compared to the sh*t EA will put out.

and if any people are wondering....i excluded some minor details like some of the breakfasts, lunches, and dinners cause most arent important and it woulda just taken up space.

anyways im eager to go on this trip.
