Jeremy Emerson Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 So, if you're a woodwind player who is marching (or has marched) in a corps, what instrument did you play in corps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfhdznr Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 i played flute as well as sax before corps and let me say that playing flute definitly gave me more than enough when it came to air capacity to handle euphonium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Flores Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 Let me hit y'all with this one, I was the drumline section leader (center snare) for my high school and was taught how to play contra in one camp. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beatty Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 I played alto sax WAY back in the day, and then ditched that and started drumming. I kept that up, and started taking private lessons on euphonium for like 3 weeks before joining the colts bari line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnZ Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 My wife was majoring in oboe when we met and I got her in to drum corps. She started out on keyboard, then French Horn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylites Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 I was always a trombone/baritone player. But my wife played oboe and clarinet (and was an AWESOME player, btw) and marched french horn in Freelancers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smogwax Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 I was a tenor sax player many years back... (note: see signature for precise dates) and now I have been playing Baritone for alomst 2 months ! its great ! and I don't think I am doing half bad.. I think once you have the theory behind music down it is much easier to switch instruments and it becomes all a matter of learning the new techniques associated with any particular instrument.

Brian Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 Hey guys, I am currently playing alto sax and baritone. I've played alto sax for like 5 years and baritone for like 5 months. I will be trying out for Magic of Orlando in 2004 after some more training. The switch was weird at first , but the longer you play bari the easier it becomes. Kick some butt Magic!! -Brian B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 I was and still am a saxophone player (alto and tenor). At the beginning of the 2002, season, I started learning mellophone. My band director was a saxist and marched mellophone with Bridgemen in the 80's, so I figured I would try mellophone. I got it down pretty well, but I came down with pneumonia in the middle of February, and switched to trumpet because it requires less air. So now I'm a trumpetist and a saxist. I'm also a percussionist, and could probably march in a drum corps snare line, but I prefer to stick to the trumpet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSGreen Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 Well ya left off Mellophone which is actually where most of the WW players I marched with or taught have started Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
