Student heading into 9th grade

Yeah, most of the people I was talking about with horns as nice as mine are upper classman like myself who intend to major in music performance. I realize that for someone not going into music it makes no sense to have one of these larger horns, but it's also something to think about.

Some of the students that I've played with who have these horns have gone to public school, I only got mine knowing that I would be attending interloch arts academy the following year so I am in no way the norm. A school would probably never buy these though, probably because they'd get beat up pretty easy by stupid highshcool students who don't understand their worth.

A buddy of my played the souzy in junior high. On Fridays, he took it home to practice. Mommy wasn't there with the car (fat chance) so he 'put it on' and marched the 1.5 miles home, practicing as he went...

Hey! I resemble that remark! It wasn't a mile and a half, but I did the same thing in high school -- walked home with it on weekends to practice and clean it. And when we were all put together in gym class for progress drills, the football team was all jealous that I could leg press more than even the starters!
