Hey I have been playing now for 11 years.Anyone else with alot of experience?

I in seventh grade and this is my second year.

Just came upon this site and joined. I guess I am the grandfather to you kids, have been playing trumpet and cornet since 1955 in many groups and am a 36 yr member of the fabulous Kalamazoo Concert Band. Glad you see you young folks are playing and interested in other's ideas. Very worthwhile to keep playing as long as possible, just not in your school years.

I started playing trumpet in 1989 in Washington State. I went in the Navy in 1997 and have taken my trumpet with me everywhere I went. Okinawa, Japan, Cuba, Perto Rico, Rota, Spain, Souda Bay Crete Greece, and the last place is Kuwait but I couldn't take my horn there. Those are all the overseas places. I've taken my horn all over the US as well. Now I make my home here in Pa. So far I have been playing for 18 years.

Ha, 8th grade, 5 years.

Ive been playing for 9 years, and I'm still going..majoring in music performance and education. I'm actually quite experienced. Someone should shoot me an email. I'm trying to get a quintet or quartet started. Preferably a quintet. It's tough to find ppl that are good and dedicated.

hey trumpetkid you should go to trumpetherald.com. they have awesome forums there, a lot of proffesionals and people with a lot of experience, your going into music in college? that is most likely what i am doing too, where do you wan to go to school?

freshman in high school, 4 years going into 5(since 5th grade)

I've been playing for 10 years, and it still hurts....I think it will always hurt.

Hey trumpetkid i want to join. jus give me your e-mail. I may have only been playing 2rs. but im a fast learner.i always want to play music and ant to become a band director for a Jr. High or High school band.

I started fairly late compared to most-at 13, and I'm now 17, so that would be about 4 years. Wow...it feels like I've been playing forever!

Im a freshmen and been playing for 5 years. I have played in my high school marching band and jazz band for 2 years i started in 8th grade.
