Otaku_of_doom Yes, I'll be in seventh grade next year and still playing old clary. I remember the first time I saw the clarinet, and I was like HOLY CRAP!! LOOKIT ALL THE BUTTONS gonk lol. Then I learned that I only have to learn to play less than half of those buttons in my first year xd ^_^ ah seventh grade...I was actually confident I'd get first chair..until I realized the other class had the better people rolleyes -_- but I think I pawned most of them...except kimberly stare what kind of clarinet do you have? biggrin xD! I was like, "oh so thats a clarinet....." :rofl; I tried sticking the reed into the mouth piece..until I realized I was breaking the clarinet... gonk O_O ONLY HALF!? In my band it was expected to go up to atleast high C! (well...i surpassed that before the others i'm proud to say blaugh even before kimberly last year...i sat next to her for a competition...apparently she doesn't remember rolleyes she says its her friend helen who moved away gonk )

All middle school grades are in one classroom and there are exactly 28 people. Some of them are new (Like me) and we don't have to learn as much. And the sad thing is that there are only 2 clarinets left in our band gonk We used to have four but one moved away and one graduated. Next year the only other one will be graduating too crying I will be the only one left by 8th grade if no one joins in the next few years!! Umm...I don't know what kind.

Miyoko Clarinetti my BD says if there are about 40 clarinetists (like in my band)... I hate to say it, but if there were 40 clarinets in my band, I would probably quit. And the horribly sad thing is, I'm not kidding. I would feel like, "Oh, they have 39 other clarinets, why would they need me?" And anyways, there would be tons of competition, so I wouldn't be the pregame and halftime line-leader, or the right guide (in parades), or section leader. Although I would probably be in the top 10 now that I think about it, the top 10 sounds a bit unreasonable...yeah...but DDR has really helped me, especially with my sight-reading and general rhythum things. Back on topic, my band this year only has 16 or 18 clarinets. There would only be between 3 and 5 clarinets (counting me) if we all had to get up to high C.

I knew what the "bridge" was 5 minutes into looking into my first fingering chart.
There's a huge difference between that high C bridge and the actual bridge everyone talks about!
