I've been playing flute for 9 years this year, so if anyone wants tips/advice, feel free to PM me! I work with other flutes IRL all the time - I love teaching and helping people get better. =^.^=
I'm interested in becoming a flute teacher, so I'm looking into that this semester. biggrin
So, uh...go flutes?

HIII!!!!!!!!!!! I'm a flute player in my band (concert and marching)!
I'm in 11th grade, and this is my 6th year of playing the flute.
We're a 5A band, and I love it!
I'm the section leader, and I have a solo in our marching show. (it's so pretty!)Next weekend, we are performing at the BOA Super Regionals in St. Louis.
If any of you are gonna be in it, tell me! (especially if you're in the Broken Arrow band, you guys are AMAZING)
and we're going to perform at the BOA Grand Nationals in Indianapolis!
I'm so excited!
Anyways..... that's all I have to say about band!
(I heart THE FLUTE!!!!!!!!!!!)

Amaya Kozue I play in a 2a band. Soooo, what's a 5a like? Out of curiosity. being in a 5a is pretty cool it's awesome to have a band of 160 people marching around, especially at parades. people always say that our band is too big because we're one of the 2 biggest bands in our half of the state. maybe it's just me, and I'm not trying to offend anyone when I say this, but to me, I think bigger marching bands have it a little easier when it comes to dynamics and things like that. when there's 160 people playing on the field, you don't have to play so loud. I dunno, maybe it's just me. I haven't seen a lot of smaller bands perform before, so I can't say much ^^;

I don't have any 2a or 5a bands, so... It's all strange numbers and letters to me. But like Tacey said, I can help you with just about anything that relates to flutes, although I'm too young to be a teacher. rofl Any piccolo players in here?? And just as a random question, what brand is your flute and is it: a) a student flute? (meaning closed holes) b) and intermediate (open holes ut not THAT special?) or c) a professional flute? (all sterling silver/special stuffs) Student fute  Intermediate flute (either just a sterling silver head or all silver)  Professional Flute (usually all sterling silver)
