Band is Life

Violist: April Fool's was three days ago.

21. Funny story, actually, I was actually supposed to play bassoon! To summarize, my middle school band has a day at the beginning of the year for new band kids to try out mouth pieces to see what is suited for you, if you haven’t already picked an instrument. There was a rating scale (1-5) and I got a 5 on bassoon and a 1 on flute (basically I couldn’t make a sound and I sucked lol). I chose bassoon (not knowing what it was but I liked it) and parents said no because it was bigger than me and made me try out flute AGAIN at instrument rental night where we could get our instruments and I barely passed at getting flute and yeah! That’s my story. Also, I love bassoon as much as flute (which is a lot lol) and I put in a lot of time and effort into my flute, with an estimated 5 hours a day during the weekdays (total: 25-30hrs a week)! I like playing flute 😅
