🎵 Weekly topic™: Forum members’ musical ventures

Yo! How’s it been everyone? Another week, and with that, another weekly topic! This week’s topic has been requested by @UnsignedArduino, so you’ll have him to thank for that!

This week’s (2023-06-18T22:00:00Z→2023-06-24T22:00:00Z) topic is

:saxophone: Name your musical interests and hobbies, a bit of a callback to the first weekly topic (music taste - genres), but a little bit different. This time, name the instruments you play and what other music-related activities you partake in

(well, that was a mouthful wasn’t it?)

As for me, well, I was never really a musical person myself per se, but I recently took a liking to drumming, since I have good rhythm. I have a drumset at home, although I need to tune it a bit before I can start seriously playing it. What about you?

I’m a choir boi. now Before y’all hate on me just know this:

  • First, I joined choir in 6th grade Because that was the year Covid happened. So I didn’t think we would do any work (I was wrong.)

  • Second, I didn’t know what Choir WAS before 6th grade.

  • Third, I actually took a liking for choir after 6th grade and since I didn’t wanna dropout of choir to learn something else so I stayed for 7th grade. (Which was SO FUN! My teacher would bring his switch to play SUPER SMASH BROS often!)

  • And finally, I was actually a good kid so I was selected to go to A choir competition, Busch gardens, and more!

(That was alot.)

I play the xylophone at my school’s band. (And drums, too, but we’re not talking about that.)

I spend most of my days doing random stuff on the computer (playing Pizza Tower, etc.) and doodling about Coding Castle.

Heck yea I love my drum set! I saved for a whole YEAR to buy this set, and its electric so its nice and quiet in my very loud house.

A bit ago I was in a band! It was focused on jazz music, and it had me as the drummer, two trumpets, a saxaphone, and a guitar. We practiced quite a bit every week and only ever played once in public, but it was great! Well… except that 3 of the members were missing… thats how you end up with me doing a dang DRUM SOLO because the only other trumpet had no part in the song at that point!

Drum disasters aside, I do hope you have fun on your new set.

Ah, I remember that, the combo xylaphone and drums kit at my old middle school. We had to learn both, but I always quit xylaphone and went to drums XD
