I guess, I play guitar, but I am not sure. Ask @CorbinB3.

What's the most interesting/fun piece of music your band has played?

For me, it has to be The Great Locomotive Chase by Robert W. Smith

My band director says I'm probably the first euphonium player for our band that he's had in all his years of directing at our school to play bass clef. Is it more common to be a treble clef baritone?

I really don't know. In our band, we have seven bass clef euphonium players and one treble clef. IDK don't ask me.

Wow we are a really small school so there are only two of us euphoniums, but the other one is a Senior this year so I will be the only one until I'm a Senior I'm pretty sure. That year's freshman class is the only class next with another euphonium, and she might even quit before then.

Oooofffff.

Our school isn't really that small, but we only have 3 actual baritones. All of them march, but only one is in concert band. We literally have a tuba (who's graduating), a trombone (me), and one baritone in class right now.
Also, @Emmaleigh, my section leader my first year marching read treble clef instead of bass. I think it was because he started out on trumpet, and it was easier for him to read treble.

I would agree for someone who could read treble clef, to stay on treble clef.

aaaayyy that is a fun song
also I play baritone in bass clef, and in total, we have three baritones in our band, two bass clef, and one treble clef

Emmaleigh said she's a small school and only has two euphonium, but my tiny little school hasnt had a euphonium in years. we dont have any baritone players in the ms or hs but the es has a few. we do have a tuba, though. all of the baritone players read bass clef

Your elementary school has a band!?!?!? Ours we just had to learn the recorder! You are so lucky!

My elementary school had a band, but it was only for 5th graders. We learned recorder in our music class but band was a different thing that met before school and at a certain time on Fridays.

mine too, where y'all live lol

I'm from Cali

I play the flute in my school band, other accomplishments……… I made it into the honor band this year so yay me.

congrats

Thank you!

so how do you classify a piano, percussion or string

Percussion

@Relsey
Congratulations!!
What exactly is honours band? We don't have that at my school.

They take students from several schools and they all audition for spots it's like Advanced band but for multiple schools so every school in your county has the chance to send kids to the audition

So like all county, or all region auditions?

Yep its a lot of fun

AH ok. Makes sense now.
