Band

As my oldest daughter is learning ukulele, she mentioned something about joining band in a later grade.  She was thinking about what instrument to play.  We talked about different options that would be available, but ultimately, it's up to her.

For band, I actually chose to play a trumpet as there weren't enough trumpets in the band.  As a parent now, I can look back and feel extra sorry for my parents.  That instrument was loud and I had no issues about playing it loudly.  Many times, I'd try to find ways to play as loudly as I could.  And I can't say I was great.  So they had to deal with loud mediocre music.  Lucky them.

So for my sake, I hope they choose a cool if not quieter instrument.
