Yes, I was a marching band guy when I was in junior high school. Strange enough, because actually I have no talent in playing any instrument. I just loved to see those marching band guys proudly playing their musics with formations, and then I joined.
After audition, I got accepted in horn line squad, trumpet 2 instrument before moved to trumpet 1 in my second year of junior high school. I never felt convident in playing those instruments, but yet I enjoyed the hard trainings. Yes, the training was so hard that I spent my whole sundays at school. When I was in my first year, the squads are so great; we got pure talents such as Adin and Chiang in horn line. Then we got Ginanjar and Rifky on melo. But the next year, when they retired, it seemed that the next generation never leveled their abilities. I was supposed to be in Adin or Chiang’s position, but I just couldn’t play it well. Luckily we had Anita, so trumpet 1 was saved.
