Welcome to Gaia! ::

There is a trombone player in my pep band who can play almost any instrument besides the reed section. He can't play it because it hurts his lip too much to play it. So he wears a shirt that he made that reads: Death to all reed players
Of course the reed players took that to a great offense. He came up to the saxophones and whispered, "You guys are alright. It's the clarinets that piss me off." I was still offended because my best friend is a clarinet player.
So my question to you is: Have any of the other sections made fun of the saxes in your pep band (or any other band?) ?

I was in Choir and someone told me that its dumb so i stopped going it to it.... maybe that person was just jealous!! emo

rhetorical question: either i know the answer, or i don't care.

no "group" of instruments is harder than another. sompe people may find certain instruments EASIER than others, but to play any instrument easily and proficiently is difficult. brass IS NOT harder than reed instruments, at the same time reed instruments ARE NOT harder than brass instruments. if you WANT to classify instruments as "easy and hard", brass are typically, with the exceptioin of trombone, easier to play quick passages with any interval bigger than a second. woodwind instruments are easier to "pin-point" a note, simply because USUALLY, if you're fingering a note you will at least be CLOSE to the note you're supposed to play. but none of that should matter if you're even remotely proficient at your instrument.
