I used to play the trumpet in primary school. Played from 3-6 but gave it up as it was "uncool" and couldnt be fucked getting up at like 6 for lessons at school. Worst decision ever, i swear.

I was so good at it, and i loved it, but i just couldnt be bothered with it. My mum spoke to James Morrison on the phone too. Whereabouts are you geek?

i play trombone, not the sexiest instrument i kno, but hey, ive had my fun with it. Im a fan of playing in brass bands, but the best time i ever had was playing in this PAU Rock Band a fguy called McVie set up during SMC one year- best time, awesome music and just massive amounts of adrenalin when youre up on stage with a rock band, sorry, but shits all over playing i some huge brass band.

i played in school bands since year 5, but during high school only stayed in it as it was like the mafia - Once you enter, there's no getting out.

plus being in it gave me and a few mates special consideration when we were auditioning for music nights with our other band

GUYS!!! Brasss bands arent to be confused with big bands or marching bands!!! I mean brass bands as in the band that sits in a 'U' shape and they have cornets instead of trumpets and they have like tenor horns and euphoniums and tubas and stuff. Here go to these sites:
