I was a band and orchestra geek. I was the first-chair cellist in all of my orchestras, and I learned the trombone while I was at a middle school with no orchestra (I could read all of the music since it was in bass clef). In high school I continued to play the cello and also played percussion in the band.
I still love to play.
