little cloud Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 :) Hello and thank you!I have never seen anything quite like Hypography. I'm already excited about becoming a member! I suppose I have to introduce myself (which sometimes makes me nervous :) ). My name is Adriana, and I am 15. I was born in Michigan, but now I live in South Carolina... I love school, especially chemistry, biology, NJROTC, and band. I hope to become an astronaut (mission specialist) someday! Please tell me if I do something I'm not supposed to do--I'm new, so I am unsure about everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishEyes Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 You seem to be doing everything right so far.The next part is the important part - be willing to share your views, expand your horizons, take some criticism, learn new things, and have FUN!!Welcome to our Forums, and we hope you enjoy yourself while you're here!! Oh, and just for the record... how did you end up in South Carolina after being born in Michigan? Did your dad get lost on the way home from the hospital? Or were there a few stops in between?

little cloud Posted January 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 :) Most of my mom's family lived in South Carolina, and on our visits here we met such friendly people and loved the warm climate, so we moved here seven years ago.It's so ironic: most of our family who lived in South Carolina have moved far, far away, and now South Carolina is so cold!

little cloud Posted January 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 I play the flute, and I've tried to play a piccolo. I'm in my third year of marching band! OH I LOVE IT!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgrmdave Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 I played trumpet for four years in marching band (and symphonic band, and jazz band, and pit orchestra, and german oompah band). So, how many trumpet players does it take to screw in a light bulb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishteacher73 Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 So, how many trumpet players does it take to screw in a light bulb? None....They get a woodwind to do it. Hhahahahaha!

Turtle Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 I don't claim to be a muscian, but occasionally I drum (I have an African Jombe(sp), & I have a couple harps I blow a little blues on when the mood strikes. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddog Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 How kewl! We could be a whole band/symphony or something. I played in band too. I played Alto Saxophone from 5th grade thru 9th. :D Ya' Tormod, I did attempt to learn to play guitar from about 13-14 yrs of age. Of course it was all these righty's tryin' to teach me to be a righty when I'm a lefty. I never did try the gig like Jimi did by reversing his right handed guitar and play left handed. Of course my real impediment was always tuning it. :( I then learned that I must be tone deaf. Now I just appreciate music! :hyper: Maddog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormod Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 I'm a lefty (both lefthanded and left-legged, in fact). Never had a problem with playing the geetar the "right way". But then I'm not a mad dog. :hyper: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgrmdave Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 So, how many trumpet players does it take to screw in a light bulb?Two answers are accepted: one, he holds it up and the world revolves around him. five, one to screw it in and four to tell him how much better they could've done it. What is the difference between an oboe and a basson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tormod Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Dave...er...I think you need to talk to beccareb's dad about the birds and the bees (no wait, wasn't it the flowers and the honey?)... :hyper: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beccareb Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 I'm just going to ignore that last comment... I'm a musician too. I play mallet percussion in band and marching band at school, but I really consider myself a piano player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
