Choosing a band instrument

My experience of picking a band instrument was great. I play a trombone. A trombone is in the brass family. My brother also plays the trombone. I will be able to learn from him too. I could have played just about any of the brass family I wanted but trombone was my favorite. Band will be fun. ...Brandon M

I went to the office to see what instrument I was best at. It was the alto sax. I tried a lot of instruments. Some of them I could not play but I could play the alto sax and the clarinet. The alto sax was the best one, but I like the clarinet too. ...Jami

When I went into the office, I was so excited to pick my instrument. When I got in there a man asked what I wanted to play. I said, "I want to do clarinet or trumpet." I tried out the trumpet. I was pretty good. Then he told the other guy that was with him, "She was a trombone face." So I tried it out. I didn't like it at all and he said I played three notes on the trombone and two on the trumpet. He asked if I had any interest in it and I said, "no". Then he signed me up for a trumpet and I got what I wanted. ...Jaylee (I think)

I enjoyed getting fitted for instruments. First I went in to the office and sat down next to a guy who helped you choose. Then I told them I want to play a clarinet. So the guy sprayed the disinfectent on it and told me how I should hold my mouth. So I tried blowing into it and a cool noise came out. Then they said I was good and I could play it. ...Lindsay

Today when we got tested for instruments. First we tried out every single instrument. Before you get your instrument you test it out to see which one you're best at. I really like testing for instrument because you never know what you are best at until you test it out first. I really like my instrument. ...Shamika

He asked me what I was interested in playing and I said it was the trumpet. He made me try a few notes and finally I was assigned my favorite, the trumpet. Brandon G.

When I chose my instrument I thought it was fun. I can't wait until I play it. I might play the French horn. I hope we get to play soon. The French horn was the only one I tried. I got it too. And that's what I wanted. ...Corey

When I was getting tested I felt nervous. The instrument I wanted was the corinet. But, there were no more corinetts. Then, I decided to play the trumpet. The man said to play high notes. He also told me to play low notes. I got all the notes right. Band seems really fun. ...Cody

I enjoyed doing band to see what instrument we would get. I thought it was fun. First I tried the trombone, then the trumpet. He said I would be best with the trumpet. The trumpet was my favorite instrument. I enjoyed it. ...Sean
