for some reason I wanted to join the band in my senior year in H.S. So I took lessons during my Jr. year and played the sax. I also joined the baseball and cross country teams as well. Since I started attending "that" high school during my junior year I didn't know that once you are in the band it is not traditional to be in the baseball or cross country teams. I was soon cut from the baseball team (for my disappointment) but kept running regardless of a couple of conflicts and problems with the band director. Wow! How weird is that? My sax is tucked under my bed and I don't really play anymore. Probably should get into that.
