(PM reply so we don't flood each others pages). Interesting, I'm a full-time percussionist and I have done both. Our concert bands are separated into 3 levels of 186 people in total. I was the lowest level freshman year, but I'll be starting sophomore year in the top band. I was in a Jazz Band, but due to grades, Mom had me pull it. I hope to come back as a saxophone my junior year, as long as the scheduling for Jazz next year isn't difficult to work with. Are you the center quad?
