Amount of time you have played your instrument:

my list is:
drummer
school concert band
learned to play drum set (before I could only play snare drum)
yea it could work
bristal bay legends or Mission Impossible theme song
1.5 years

I'm a saxophonist. I'm tryin' to get a minor in music composition.

I play a french horn, and have for 2 years. Before that, I played trumpet for 3. I'm in my school's Wind Ensemble.

And as for my favoite piece....wow, don't even get me started. I'd run out of post room on Bach alone.

And marching band. Four years of marching band.

Violinist
Hamilton Symphony, SESA Concervitory Symphony, South East Symphony, Idywild Festival (all orchestras)
Playing Mozart Violin Concerto before a live audiance with an orchestra behind me and not screwing up.
Meh
Would you like the list? Mozart's Don Giovani, Mendlesohn's Violin Concerto, Beethoven's seventh symphony, Tchaicovski's practically everything, Stravinski's Ballets, Shosticovitche's practically everything... oh yeah, and Paranoid Android by Radiohead.
and 9 years.

I played the clarinet for 4 years. I played in school symphony, but not in a band. The greatest thing I ever did in music was become 1st chair of my section. I guess a band of us forumers might work, I really don't know. My favorite piece was one from 8th grade, "Twilight of the Silver Moon" it was called. Either that or "Caravan".

Band your in:Only ever played in my Highschool concert Band and a brief stint in the HS marching band

The Euphonium



Just more on that NPF Band idea... It would take some work, true, but it could work out very well if enough effort was put in. :cool:

Anyone up for a collaboration over-the-net tune? :rolleyes: ;)

Instrument (vocals and songwriter are ok too):In this order: Voice, piano, percussion

Band your in (type of band too): I'm in Choir at School, and Marching Band

greatest achievement: Being in the music program at all.....long story ;)

do you like the idea of a Nuklear power forum band: Only if we could play music from the FF series :D

Favorite peice of music: "Der Holle Rache kocht in meinem herzen" by WA Mozart (also known as "the queen of the night aria").

Amount of time you have played your instrument:I've sang as long as I could talk, tho I've been STUDYING it the last 3 years. Piano 7 years, Percussion 3.

Now that I have more time I can elaborate

Instrument: Saxophone. Mainly Alto, but if need be I can always switch to Soprano, Tenor or Bari(even Sopranino, Bass or Contra-bass, but I mean, come on, who has one of those?), the saxophone family was built for that purpose.

Band your in: Niceville High School. Also tried to form a ten piece saxophone choir, but that flopped.

greatest achevment: Almost completeing an arrangement of Pachelbel's Canon for two sopranos, four altos, two tenors, a bari and a bass sax. Yea, I didn't finish, so that's why the choir thing didn't work out.

do you like the idea of a Nuklear power forum band: Well, what would we perform before? Maybe we'd get a spot on the website. Heh.

Favorite peice of music: This is a tough one. As long as it is a good piece I'll listen to it.

Amount of time you have played your instrument: 7 years? I think. Not too sure about that one.

My goal in life is to compose a symphony w/ minor vocal parts entirely in Quenya. Or Sindarin. Whichever would sound better in the piece. Until then I'm going to try my hardest to become a composer with enough renown that such a piece would actually get performed by a symphony. Who knows, maybe it'll get performed by the Chicago Symphony. Or one of the European Symphonies. Don't laugh, it's the only real goal I have other than the very vague goal of "become an engineer of some type."

Instrument (vocals and songwriter are ok too): Let's see... Vocals, Lyric writing, and GUITAR!!! (I can manage bass too)

Band your in (type of band too): I'm not in a band right now. I used to be in a punk band. I was in a metal band for a few weeks before I got bored with the guys in it.

greatest achevment(sp): Having my band show up to an assembly at the high school I went at the time. We worked it out with the principal that we could play a song or 2 at the end of it. It was awesome!

do you like the idea of a Nuklear power forum band: It could work, we'd have to compilate online. It would be kinda fun.

Favorite peice of music: Hrmm... being in a college choir, I'd say I like Handel's Coronation Anthems.

Amount of time you have played your instrument: I've had vocal training for like 10 years now. I've played guitar (and bass) for just over 2 years.

I'm up for it. Send me a pm some time.

My list:

Guitarist.
No band currently.
Greatest achevment...Well I don't really have any...the fact that I started... :D
Nuklear Power band? Well sounds good, but I couldn't be there practicing...
Well I don't really have any favorites, but I like metal and rock music...
I have played guitar for about a little over a year now...

I'm trying to get someone to teach me flute. I really want to learn it!!

I play the trumpet in a school wind ensemble, but i want to get out. I wanna learn how to play bass guitar.

Instrument (vocals and songwriter are ok too): Bass guitar, specifically, the discontinued Epiphone Rivolli II.

Band your in (type of band too): None. Want one, though. Would like to play ska, but no one else likes it, so I've got no one to play it with.

greatest achevment(sp): Memorizing the Super Mario Bros. 2 theme.

do you like the idea of a Nuklear power forum band: Not very likely, but it would be cool to do something along the lines of Video Game and Anime themed music.

Favorite peice of music: To listen to: "Howwhywuz, Howwhyam" by The Mighty Mighty BossToneS. To play: "Popcorn" by The Mad Caddies, "Drunks and Kittens" by The Mighty Mighty BossToneS, and the Super Mario Bros. 2 theme.

Amount of time you have played your instrument: I think about three years now.

On a sad note, I suck. I really, really suck at bass. I need to get better to be in a band, but I think I could only grow if only I was in a band. Evil circle.

Well, on second thought, I'm still not that bad, especially for being self taught. Sucks learning on a bass, because most music is just one string being plucked for three minutes. Not fun or interesting to play. If you get into bass, look at the ska tabs. Ska usually has more fun bass lines.

For whomever said bonus points for knowing what a Euphonium is:

It is the insturment commonly refered to as a baritone. It sits in your lap, often on a pillow. In many respects, it looks like a quarter-sized tuba, except with valves instead of keys.

It also feels fuckin weird to play a euphonium for an hour, then start playing french horn again.


Now where're my points?

Instrument (vocals and songwriter are ok too): Midi Synthesizer

Band your in (type of band too): N/A

greatest achevment(sp): Hitting keys and random and actually producing something that sounds nice.

do you like the idea of a Nuklear power forum band: Not really.

Favorite peice of music: FF7 Boss Theme

Amount of time you have played your instrument: Two hours

Some one else already posted a link to what a Euphonium was and your definition wasn't quite right. The Baritone and Euphonium are actually slightly different. The Euphonium tapers over its entire length and has 3 to 4 valves were the baritone tapers to a fixed diameter, IE. If you unroll a Euphoinum it looks like a cone while a baritone looks like a cone with a long tube stuck to one end. This simple difference means that the Euphoinum has a deeper richer sound and a slightly larger range than the Baritone. Also, I never had to use a pillow when I played. My band teacher made me do a research paper on my insturment. So you get negative points for missing the link and getting the wrong answer.

Instrument (vocals and songwriter are ok too): Percussion

Band your in (type of band too):Symophonic Band adn Marching band

greatest achevment(sp):LEaring how to play mallets

do you like the idea of a Nuklear power forum band:yea

Favorite peice of music:Fate of the Gods and At Dawn They Slept

Amount of time you have played your instrument: 2 years

GO DRUMMERS :D :p

There sure are a lot of musicicians here...

If you'll notice here, Stover never said that the Baritone and Euphonium were the same instrument, he merely said that the Euphonium is commonly referred to as one. Which it is, by the way. The Euphonium is often mistakenly called a Baritone by the less informed. Most people don't even know that a Euphonium is even an instrument.

sorry for the confustion but I ment favorite played peice

and my band has a euphonium it is a tener not a bass so it does goes medium high and can read treble or bass clef (so trumpets can switch eazier)

No kidding, eh!? A good friend of mine plays the euphonium yet every uninformed person who sees him play says "Play something out of your baritone" or "Mini Tuba". It pisses him right off. But at my school, people aren't to intelligent anyways. I play the Trumpet and they say they're gonna sabotage my Tuba. Dumbasses.

speaking of that how bout the people who say drumming so eazy
"uh..ya I can play drums 1.....2......3......4" dumbasses
oh and tuba is the latin word for trumpet

Although it may be, I'm talking about the one in english. And I know what your talking about. A kid in my class joined band last year (gr. 10) and was completly lost. Now he's fairly good on bass drum. But he's a killer guitarist. For the rest of you, see Mr. Hollands Opus.

ahh but do the take latin

Have you ever seen a small selection of text that was underlined, assumed it was a link, and clicked on it?

I have! Did it a few minutes ago.. :rolleyes:



Other than doing music on the comp, I used to take guitar lessons at school... that was in, like, Grade 4 though, and I never liked the guitar too much, strings were too fiddly :rolleyes:

The keyboard though... I've always wanted to be able to play a rhodes piano, they're cool :cool:

Instrument (vocals and songwriter are ok too):

Wow, I'm the second Euphonist here *is mildly surprised* Do I get points for defining my own instrument? I could c&p the 4 page article from I think it's David Werden's website. I'm taking a Bachelor of Music, majoring in Secondary Ed, so I suppose you could list me as being a conductor (stick waving monkey) as well.

Band your in (type of band too):

I currently play in the University of Calgary Wind Ensemble (I'm section leader and serve on the ensemble executive), one of the premier wind ensembles in North America under the direction of Dr. Glenn D. Price. We currently have 7 recordings available on 3 different commercial labels. Other bands I've played in are the University of Calgary Symphonic Band under the Direction of Dr. Mark Hopkins, the Alberta Wind Symphony under the direction of Dr. Robert W. Rumbelow, and the St. Mary's High School Wind Ensemble under the direction of Mr. Don Barrette. I take private lessons from Micheal Eastep, principal tubist of the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, and have played in masterclass for Pat Sheridan.

greatest achevment(sp):

Getting into the UCWE ;)

do you like the idea of a Nuklear power forum band:

Sure, just pay my travel and lodging expenses.

Favorite peice of music:

Mars.

Amount of time you have played your instrument:

6 years now.

Edit: In other news, I like to jump guns.

Instrument (vocals and songwriter are ok too): I could do background vocals, or second voice(I don't know if it's called like that.). I haven't got the clearest voice of them all though.

Band you're in (type of band too): No band, none of my classmates feel like it.

greatest achievement: Not available

do you like the idea of a Nuklear power forum band: Yeah, but there's that point again. When could we meet?

Favorite peice of music: I like Suteki Da Ne(Rikki(sp?)/Nobuo Uematsu), Real Emotion(Nobuo Uematsu), To Zanarkand(guess?) and My band(D12 & Eminem.)

Amount of time you have played your instrument: I don't know, 4/5 years, but I've never followed classes in the subject or stuff.
