Oh, yeah. Played piano, flute, and saxophone in the bands in high school and college. I helped with band boosters after I graduated. It's been years and I've sold the saxophone and accordion. Still got the piano, flute, and two guitars.
Not much time for these as teaching math takes up time, but I kept my hands in by playing for various churches over the years.
I don't live at home or in my home state anymore so I haven't seen any of the band folks in years. I do see my old band director from time to time. He even came to the visitation when Mom died.
Our football was terrible before I was there and then afterward. There was a few years the team did well. Mostly people came to watch our band.
My brothers were also in the band in their time, one on trumpet and the other on trombone and tuba or a full bass. The bassist actually played in a local symphony years ago when he was just starting out.
