I'm on the diminuative side (I'm barely over 5 feet tall) but I have a freakishly deep voice. If you're ever bored, I have music podcast at http://adzukipodcast.blogspot.com with me doing the intros, so you can hear for yourself. BTW, the next one will be all flute music...
I started playing in 5th grade which is when band programs tend to start up where I grew up. I did the bulk of my playing in college.
Happy Birthday, MeLizzard! I'll be 35 this fall, so no one is laughing here! I definitely remember 1981.
I started playing my alto sax in about 1981 also, and played through HS graduation. Didn't pick up an instrument again until a year ago when I picked up my old flute that I had just played around with. I love it, and it's been a great experience playing for fun with my church choir.
I'm 14, and in ninth grade. This will be my fifth year (we start at my school in 4th grade, but my mom, who also played the flute, taught me some basics the summer before). In fourth grade I broke a bone in my hand and had a cast on my ring finger and pinkey, but I still managed to play the flute for the concert
Zevang stands for a junction of my first name and my middle name:
Jose (Ze is my nickname in portuguese...) +
Evangelista (Evang, abreviated...) =
Zevang, simple as that...
I'm 15. I started playing a year and a half ago. It's hard to believe but I'm 2nd chair in my school band. Most of the other's in my section have been playing since they were 10 because the catholic school that most of the other girls went to started band in 4th grade. I'm considered intermidiate by my band teacher though.
