French Horn. Im a beginner too
trust me. The first while they're hard and then you get to the point where you can play like a pro (not really but still) and you could join higher bands.
by the way, neither instruments are gonna get you in jazz band, believe me, i tried

Well, it depends. French Horn is a very hard instrument to learn to play. I know, i play it. Many keys are similar, but bassoon is also just as difficult because of its double reeds. It really depends on whether you want to play and instrument that is 15 feet of tubing or an instrument that that is most likely taller than the tallest person in your band. mrgreen

I will tell you right now, go with french horn. Others are right, it is hard, you can't play in Jazz band, but when you start getting to orchestra pieces, it gets really fun. It doesn't matter what you played before. I made the biggest change when i started playing french horn. I used to play clarinet, and now i'm the best player on horn in my band, and i've only played for about a year and a half now.

French Horns all the way!! heart heart I used to play a reed instrument, but I didn't like it. I like the brassy sound much better, so I switched to french horn. Plus it looks cool! I mean, yeah, it's a little harder to get the hang of, but you have the melody a lot and you have very important parts and it's just plain fun. blaugh heart

Basoon. No offense, but if you aren't very good at french horn, it can sound like a dieing whale. I sit next to 3 dieing whales in band... Fun. But if you've got a passion for french horn and don't like a lot of keys, go for it! I'm all for it, what do I matter anyways?
