I started out on alto sax in 5th grade. I thought I was pretty good, at least better than the rest of the alto sax players, and I practiced a reasonable amount. By 7th grade I was playing the tenor, and 8th grade, the bari. Then all of a sudden during the middle of summer my brilliant band director gives me a call and asks, "Jared, what do you think about playing tuba this year?". So I figured I'd give it a shot. The great thing about it was that the assistant band director just happened to be a tuba player. He's been giving me free tuba lessons ever since (whoohoo!!).
