A friend of mine plays the flute in the North Suburban Concert band. I went to see a performance on Sunday. As it turns out I know two women who play in the band. One plays the flute and the other plays the clarinet. I have never played in a band or an orchestra. I've never been involved in musical performance other than the church choir in elementary school. I wonder what it must be like to be involved in a band performance. I imagine it would be great fun to be surrounded by and a part of all that music. I wonder what it feels like to have your lungs be a part of your performance? Is the music marked when to inhale and when to exhale? And if I could choose, what instrument would I play? I think the tuba would be fun to try. The french horn sounds beautiful but the tuba would be a hoot.
