Anybody an extreme nerd like me and play in the community band? I played in our local concert band and jazz band throughout middle school and high school along side what i played in school. The jazz band would play old fashioned dance music for old folks and the rare young swing dancer that was into it enough to come to these things. Some of those old folks were pretty spry. Anyway i moved away and didn't do it for 7 years but then i started with the local one here last year. It's actually really fun and nostalgic for me to play in a concert band and I'm actually starting to get decent at it again. It gives me incentive to practice. The band in my area is really pretty good, i think it's partly because this is a big retirement place. It's mostly old people that still enjoy concert band music. I'm one of the younger people in it and I'm in my thirties. This is one of the songs we played this spring. It was pretty hard though we didn't take it quite as fast as this. We have over 100 members which is pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDIkhOgztzc If you have ever thought it would be fun to go back and play an instrument you played as a youngster, or want to learn a brass or woodwinds instrument or percussion you should look into if you have a local band. They vary in quality/difficulty of the music but generally should be very friendly to newbies.
