[Error: unknown template qotd]I played the bad ass-ed instrument of them all: the French Horn!
Seriously, don't mock the French Horn. Ewan McGregor used to play the French Horn, too. :-)
I was a band geek all through junior high and high school, so six years total. I can't remember a thing about how to play a French Horn anymore (this seems to be a theme with me), but I do have fond memories of band class and band trips. I think Band was my favourite class, besides Creative Writing. And I do believe that the French Horn is the laziest instrument in the band. I remember reading once that the French Horn has the least amount of material to play in an orchestra. Considering the amount of time I spent in band practice listening to my band teacher harp on the trumpet players, it's so true.
Oh, and I learned how to play the trumpet for one year when I was in jazz band. So I guess that's two instruments.
Random factoid: a French Horn case makes an impromptu seat if you're waiting for the bus. Same for a trumpet case. And a tuba case is perfect for lounging in the sun. Trust me. :-D
