Jeesh!!!!!! I have so much to learn. It sounds like a VERY great honor so I must congratulate you, but I've never heard of the Macy Parade...Does it just take place in NY or all over the US??? Again, Congratulations!!!!!

Well, I was first flute ever since I started moving but whenever I went to honors Band Id be in 7th chair IN THE 2ND BAND!!!! Its kind of embarrassing when all of your friends are with you But really, it is a great relief after everyone expecting you to play "perfectly"!

I know this isnt my topic, but would the same go for left shoulder pains?I mean does everyone go through periods of shoulder pain????I usually hold my flute pretty level and my backs up straight, but I get horrible pains in my left shoulder if I play too long. My mother explained about one shoulder ...

Ahhhhhhhh....that answers my ?. Thanx. I ,too, have't been here in a while so I missed this post.

Yeah, I figured you could fit 3 Frenchies in it (please take no offense). Problem is I don't have any of there cases. Did you ever try fitting a wire stand in it?

OK, so I have had this case since Thursday and it seems to be working fine. I just got a lyre/flip folder cuz we'll be marching Friday at Six Flags (4 those of you that know what it is). I can get it in the case but It's a fairly tight fit. I think I could make it fit easliy if I put it in a differe...

oh, ok. I thought an alto *might* fit because this bag seems pretty big (18x3.5x6, or something like that :wink: ) No matter, I'm sure it will suit my needs just fine. I need something for a school-band trip and I wanted something that could hold some money (shhhhhhhhh, don't tell anyone!) my phone,...

Yeah, uhhhhhhhhh, why exactly do you want a purple cleaning rod???? You might be able to find a cheap plastic one, though I wouldn't reccomend it. No offense but you will be the only one who cares about having a purple cleaning rod. Everyone will loathe you or be jealous....

My dad has been in the music business for many years, so I trust his decision :D . We've been looking at gig bags for months and he thought that would be the best for what I needed. I have another bag to keep my stand, music, water bottles, my giant metronome :D , etc. I was thinking "bigger" like i...

I guess I should've been more specific on my question. I was kind of distracted. I think I meant should I worry about dimensions and can anyone give me typical dimensions... :oops: Anyways, my dad said I should just get the pro tec in case I get a larger flute later on and for now I should put a foa...

Thanks everyone! New question. I basially want a bag that can hold just my flute and piccolo plus some smaller items such as pencils, tuner, etc. I think getting some dimensions would help me find a case that fits the flute pretty well. Anyone?

Does anyone already own a Pro Tec "Urban style" gig bag http://www.flutesonline.com/flutestore/product.php?productid=16216 Here's the link as to what I'm talking about. I've heard people say they are awfully bulky and normal flute cases fall over or bounce around in them. Just wondering what you guy...

not at all. I guess I'm having a pretty good summer, it's just that I'm not doing much of anything.:) Good to know another Monty python quoter!:) Okay then, we won't worry about you too much. :wink: Yes I am a Monty Python fan, and that movie is my favorite. My pet rabbit makes me nervous. :lol: Lo...
