As for me, I play Alto and Bari sax as well, Tenor sax, tried a Soprano sax a couple times, Flute, Clarinets, Tuba, Trombone, Bass Trombone, and percussion. I've done them all in the band for years, but I major in Alto Sax. I also have been playing Tuba for a while in Band, and before, I played a lot of Trombone, and Bass Trombone. I don't play much Flute, Clarinet, or Percussion, because there's a surplus of them (why I switched down to Tuba) but I am able to play all major scales, arpeggios, and sightreading pieces on all.

I don't do high brass. =S I've formed an embouchure that can do low brass and reeds, but high brass.. ow.. I can't even do two octaves on a trumpet. I will one day, though.. my Private teacher plays them all, and professionally.

We have a thing called Enhancement (ENH), which is a 50 minute study hall thing, and it's based on a 6 day rotation where you sign up to go to a certain class room, and some days you go to clubs that you're in. And I have band on 2 of those days, so I get some practice. Right now I'm in Marching Band, Concert Band, Symphonic Band, Jazz Band, and Sax Ensemble. The only one I think I will need to practice for is Jazz since I haven't had much experience with jazz.

I play the Alto Saxophone. It's alright, but I'm not a major freak over it.

I'm like the only person on the planet who can't read Jazz =S

So yeah, first year of college for me is no different than High school.

Honors Myth and Legend - 95%
Honors Worldviews in Philosophy - 100%
Calculus w/ Analytic Geometry - 103%
Fundementals of Computer Science - 97%

I feel a little dissappointed with my Myth and Legend class. It's just hard because there are only 4 assignments the whole semester. We did two so far. And you can't redo them at all, so there is little chance to change your grade in the class.

Honors Myth and Legend? Why do I think that class sounds wonderful (in "theory")? Maybe I'm just a Norse junkie.
