questions for the woodwind folks of WOP
Posted: Sat Nov 22, 2003 9:30 pm
This discussion is aimed more towards the woodwinds of this group (clarinets, fultes, oboes, bassoonists, saxes, etc...)
Just a couple questions I'm interested in getting into a discussion with. Not for argumentive purposes (as I am a woodwind player myself), but for imformative purposes as I would like to get a better feel of the So. CA market.
So, some questions:
1. Do you know, or have you ever seen a live performance of drum & bugle corps? If so, where? why or how?
2. Have you ever said to yourself, "gee, wish I could do that, but I'm a woodwind"?
3. If you have taken interest, has anyone told you that you cannot participate because you are a woodwind?
4. If you had the opportunity to learn a new instrument (whether brass or percussion), would you take the opportunity?
5. Do you maybe feel that if you do pick up a second instrument that the quality in your playing a woodwind instrument would decline?
Again, I'm just looking for information. I may ask counter quetsions... but we'll see.
