In elementary I learned how to play the recorder but my Band Director Doesnt Support the Recorder as a band instrument..so basically no one at my high school plays the recorder..but i do have to say i do practice on the recorder some times because i play the tenor sax which is very loud and the recorder has the same basic fingerings im talking about a-g regular notes not sharps or flats..but the thumb and 123 and 1234 those combinations that you use on the recorder you use on the sax so sometimes i play the recorder but the sax is my instrument..

Oh, yeah. I remember the recorder; I played it in elementary school. :3
Personally, I don't think of recorder as a "band" instrument, though. You can't blow too hard, and you control the pitch by blowing harder and softer! Therefore.
But recorder days were excellent...I got top scores. >)

I play the recorder along with the trombone. But its a side intsrument that I play at home. Its surprising how much music can actually be platyed (way much more then Hot Cross Buns). I can play some Pirates of the caribbean music, some Trans-Siberian Orchestra music, and LOTR. Its nice to know that its not completely useless. For you Fullmetal Alchemist lovers- You can play the song Brothers on it. And on the trombone. ^^

LISTEN KIDDIES [who are probably the same age or older than me]:::::::::
THE RECORDER IS NOT AN INSTRUMENT. DO NOT SUPPORT IT AS AN INSTRUMENT. IT IS A TOY. AN OBNOXIOUS PIECE OF PLASTIC. PLEASE. IF ANYONE TRIES TO JOIN BAND WITH A RECORDER AS THEIR INSTRUMENT OF CHOICE, KICK THEM IN THE SHINS.

I remember playing that in the 3rd grade.
We had this little concert. So adorable.
That's when my music career began.

thats all.
The recorder is a woodwind musical instrument of the family known as fipple flutes or internal duct flutes — whistle-like instruments which include the tin whistle and ocarina. The recorder is end-blown and the mouth of the instrument is constricted by a wooden plug, known as a block or fipple. It is distinguished from other members of the family by having holes for seven fingers (the lower one or two often doubled to facilitate the production of semitones) and one for the thumb of the uppermost hand. The bore of the recorder is occasionally cylindrical but is usually tapered slightly, being widest at the mouthpiece end.
The recorder was popular from medieval times but declined in the eighteenth century in favour of orchestral woodwind instruments, such as the flute, oboe, and clarinet, which have greater chromatic and dynamic range. During its heyday, the recorder was traditionally associated with birds, shepherds, miraculous events, funerals, marriages and amorous scenes. Images of recorders can be found in literature and artwork associated with all these. Purcell, Bach, Telemann and Vivaldi used the recorder to suggest shepherds and birds, and the pattern continued into the 20th century.Just wanted to prove that it is a member of the woodwind family and that it is not a toy. Maybe the plastic models seem like toys but there's an entire family of recorders much like the clarinet flute or saxophone. There are models made out of solid wood that are hand crafted and have wonderful tone. just felt like i had to defend recorders because they sound great when played by somebody who knows what they're doing.
