Hah! 6th, 7th and... part of 8th grade?! Oh I hated it so much at the middle school I went to for 7th and 8th grade... BUT I really wish I would have stuck to it for high school. I loved that teacher so very much!!! I probably would have agreed to start playing clarinet again...
I always wanted to do percussion, but since I didn't have two years of experience playing piano, they wouldn't let me in 6th grade, which was really depressing.
But anyways.
Anyone ever in band? What instrument? Any interesting stories?

6th grade trombone. school bands really have their own culture, like a very large but exclusive clique. anyway i never gelled with the atmosphere so after 6th grade i gave up band to take art electives instead. must have been the right choice because i became the all time favorite student of the art teacher there. in 8th grade she had me and a girl do a psuedo stained glass window for the school. that project took forever, but hey it was neat. Went to pay her a visit last year and chatted her up. she's pretty pissed off at me for not pursuing art at all
the irony is...i have no art skills anymore ^^; (edit: but i did take up 3D modeling and animation in highschool, i was into game design then)
also i hate band kids. YEESH! my brother has been one since middle school (he's a HS senior now). hate it when he brings his friends over to play games in my "apartment" (we built a living room, bathroom, bedroom, and closet in our basement. its where i live and its awesome). GET OFF MY PS3 AND TV MUHFUGGERS I GOTTA CHECK UPDATES ON AFK FORUM! >=(

I only remember being forced to play the recorder in 5th grade. I hated that teacher so much ... I just wanted to beat him over the head with that god-awful instrument of torture.
I've never liked the way that instrument sounded ... and when I played it always made this high pitched squeaky noise because I never cared enough to practice. XP

I remember playing the recorder in grade 5....or at least I think it was grade 5. I started playing the flute in grade 7 and well, the rest of my section couldn't play so well so I thought I would try and keep it powerful with me as lead. I loved band but I hated my teacher. She was so boring. In grade 9, I went to Honor Band (its an event where certain students are selected to play with top notch students from around the province. 2 guys friends of mine and a good friend of mine were chosen.) It was great! Got to play a few popular songs. I continued to play throughout high school. I wanted to play this year in college but where they played was an inconvenience. (I was quite the band nerd. )

I had a buddy that was core drumline. I was in chorus. Which is funny because he's the vocalist in my band and I'm the guitarist. lawl.
