I actually never knew there where online courses, I'll try looking for some ^-^. The exercise part I'll try to start by running since I don't know if I can find a aerobics class anywhere near. Well the nearest all age is about a 3 hour drive away so I don't think there's much I can do there :P Thank you so much for the support, when I first posted this thread I never expected the amount of feedback that I would get. To be honest the marching arts community are some of the only people in my life to ever inspire me to do something. Again, thank you so much for the support and I'll try to make sure the activity doesn't die out ^-^

Thank you so much for the info ^-^ I can't really march this summer so I'm planning to practice through the summer and go to a camp next audition season for the experience then march in the 2017 season if I'm lucky. My band director said he'll help me if I come in during my lunch period so I hope I won't develops any bad habits.

I'll actually try baritone since my band director will let me borrow one of the School's baritones and now that I'm thinking about it baritone would probably be better for me learning wise.

Thank you so much for clearing that up ^-^. I just have another question, I currently only have a mouthpiece and could I possibly do Arban Exercises with only a mouthpiece and maybe like down the road get a trumpet or should I get one now?

Thank you :), I got it off my my CompSci final.

Thank you for the tips ^-^， sorry if I sound too needy but where would you find brass books and what are they? I'm guessing that they are the actual music but I'm not 100% sure. Even if half the earth's population is trying out for trumpet I feel like I'm up for a challenge. Thanks for the insight ^-^.

I was meaning to ask about this, what's the trumpet competition like compared to other instruments? I know that trumpets might have the most auditionees but would the large amount of spots compensate?

Ah I see, thank you! I do realize that I won't be getting placed in the top of the section, I'm just hoping to get placed in the section. I'll take the melody part out since I think I worded it poorly :)

Hello DCP! So I'm currently a freshmen in High School and I've only marched Saxophone. I really want to learn a brass instrument for DCI but I was wondering if anyone has any tips. I want to learn trumpet and was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to learn it myself since I've tried finding a trumpet private lesson teacher in my area but to no avail. Anyways cheers! ~pidget Edit: I'm actually gonna try baritone instead of trumpet
