Ahhhh – once again I'm merely stopping by for a quickie ... memory, that is. Especially as I let March 31st slip through my fingers.
Though I played the violin for all 5 years in high school, I did get a chance to play something else. Or should that be play at something else.
Because of my keyboard expertise, I became a “guest” player with the Senior Band. Now the band was something I wasn't accustomed to. I don't know if things have changed over the decades but, when I was in high school, there weren't such things as marching bands. Hmmmm. Perhaps our lousy weather had something to do with that.
So, indoor bands only. And what was I doing hanging around with a bunch of brass and woodwind players with whom I had nothing in common, definitely not the style of music? Well, I got to play the xylophone and glockenspiel and any other keyboard-y or scale-based instrument. I even jingled a triangle.
It was lots of fun, certainly not as serious as playing in the orchestras, and I had the chance to be on stage or in competitions more often.
Definitely a not-serious memory. Only something eliciting gleefull sounds of delight!
