i'm pretty stoked. Made Jazz Band One at my highschool. Trumpet 2. The only freshman in the whole band.

I played trumpet in 5th grade. I thought "3 keys, it'll be sooo easy."

I was wrong.

Trombone is where it's at.

Congrats.
I've always been a fan of sax personally. Never really had an driving force to learn it though.

Sax was the first instrument I learned how to play, in my opinion it was really easy to learn...but I got sick of it and quit...

Kenny G plays the sax.
He's a freakin' badass.

I'll have to check them out.

What'd you think of the new Rebelution?
I haven't heard it yet.

BTW, Last.fm is like a radio thingy. It's neat. Tracks what songs are played and everything. Check it out.

Ahh, I feel dumb.

Well the new album is alright, pretty much exactly the same as their first album.
I disagree. Their first album was fresh, new, exciting, catchy; this new one is none of those things.

Imo Trombone has the best tone of any jazz instrument. I just like trumpet because you pretty much control the band.

The only instrument I learned to play in school was the recorder.
Man I sucked at it. Like really bad. We had tests on it too. So lame. I always sat next to this kid name Kendall that was really good and played really loud so my teacher thought I was good but I just pretended. haha

I sucked at trumpet. My two friends and I played it in Grade 7 and 8, mandatory, and we were so bad that a separate teacher would take us to a backroom of the auditorium to try to teach us...and we just didn't learn. It was ridiculous. We remedially sucked and then sucked some more. It was hilarious.

Trombone has a good tone.
It's a hard instrument though.

There's no pop, the riffs are all lackluster; the spark is gone. Given sophomore releases more often disappoint that please but I really expected something more.

I thought you had some sort of No Child Left Behind act. Seems like they cheaped out here!

Actually we blew in back rooms, if you wanna split hairs. We eventually swallowed our pride after sucking for so long and moved on.
