When I was in high school I came this close! to joining the Navy as part of the Navy band. If I could have auditioned without actually joining (because I didn't want any part of it other than the band) and if I could have taken my husband with me (he was only my boyfriend back then) I would have. Anyways, I did some preliminary auditions, and they said I was good enough on flute but I had to take up an extra instrument for flexibility. They suggested sax, so I took up alto sax. I hated it >< and I sliced my tongue open on the reed! Never again.
Sorry Spath, I don't really let people listen to me play anymore. I haven't played for anyone since 2005, haven't even practiced regularly since then. I can only play for about half an hour now before my mouth gets sore, I lost all my flute muscles. :/ If I ever get my hands on my old home videos that my parents have (not likely) and if I ever convert those videos to DVD (not likely) and if I ever figure out how to get videos from DVD onto my computer and upload them to Facebook (not likely) then I can show you what I used to sound like. But that was a long time ago.
