This season for me it was marimba, glockenspiel, maracas, shaker, cowbell, and suspended cymbal. Marimba is my favorite to play by far. It's such a pretty instrument.

I play marimba for indoor this year, I've always loved the way crotales look and sound, but never got the chance to play them yet

For indoor I play drumset and auxiliary (Which at my school consists or an impact drum, a couple floor toms, a break drum, 2 crashes, a bell, and a china).
My favorite is the aux rack, just because of the impact and the china.

Pianoman95! I've found you! Not that I was looking. But uh. Yeah. Your school lets you have piano in the front ensemble? Or are you talking about indoor?

well, what had happened was.....
i was at first unable to participate because my mother and it was the day of auditions. everyone was auditioning and i told them " no, i can't". after thinking about it ( being told to by a friend of mine to "GO AND AUDTION!!") i decided to just wing it. i quickly excused myself to go audition and waited out in the hall way, freaking out. they called me in and talked to me, saying that i am free to comeback and how they think that i have the potential. they didn't ask for me to play or anything. i walked back into the room with the others and continued along with them. about 5 minutes a tech walks over to me and the other girl saying " do either one of you have any piano experience" her and i both say no. the tech takes me back to play for her, and well, i had no idea what i was doing. she then asked me " which one do you think you will enjoy playing the most" i reply " i don't know, what all would i do/play on synth?". "well, chords and sound effects-" ( she had me at sound effects ) " i think it would be cool to learn how to play" .
and that, is how i got on synth (sorry for the essay) and i've enjoyed it!

All of our effects are played by me, because I have an electronic effects pad. We do have a pretty intricate bass solo, and although our bassist can't read sheet music, he can play enough death metal to wing it.
