My Days as a Trombonist – Living the Dream Wednesday

December 7, 2016

In high school, I played regular Trombone in the Concert and Symphonic Bands, and Bass Trombone in the jazz band – and loved every minute of it! While digging through one of my boxes at home, I came across these ties that I used to wear for performances. 


The red one on the left we wore during our jazz band performances. I remember the first performance we wore them too… It was at a prep school downtown, and I remember tying a few peoples ties – even a couple guys – funny because, I had only taught myself the night before how to tie it, hehe. This tie has such a fun and pretty pattern on it – red with gold and blue “moving” notes and staff. 


The black one on the top right is the first one I bought – in middle school! We used to have solo and ensemble performances once a year, and I used to wear this black one to these from 6th grade up through high school.


I took these photos, and have since donated them to my local Goodwill – hopefully someone else can get some good use out of it 🙂

Any other previous band members out there?
 
Happy Wednesday!

    Aww, those are nice memories. I didn't play an instrument in high school, but I was really into choir 🙂 I loved to sing! Those are awesome ties, by the way. I hope whoever gets them enjoys them as much as you did!

      Though I didn't do chorus, I do enjoy singing too and even started taking some voice lessons this year – so much fun! Thanks for sharing 🙂

Welcome!

Hey! I'm Alexandra, the blogger and creator behind EyeLoveKnots and On Rockwood Lane! My passion is being creative. My favorite thing to do is crochet, and you will almost always find me having a cup of coffee and working on a new crochet project, but when I'm not doing that, you might find me out at a local park rollerblading, baking some fresh cookies, picking veggies in the garden or re-decorating for a new season or holiday. My two cats are great supervisors for all my adventures (minus the being outside because they think it's too hot in Florida to be anywhere but inside), and make sure I take plenty of breaks.
