What should I pick??
Next year I will be starting my senior year of high school. I've been a percussionist since 9th grade. But next year I will be taking honors percussion class and honors band. I talked to my director and for honors band he's making me learn a wind instrument. I'm perfectly okay with this because I've had interest in learning one.
I was originally interested in learning bari sax, but my director also suggested tenor sax. I know for a fact that we have a tenor I can take home and learn over the summer to prepare for the school year. But we also have a bari sax, but we do have someone playing it. Except he doesn't really care for band and barely shows up to rehearsal and I can't remember the last concert he actually attended. My main interest in bari is for jazz band but even though our bari player does't do anything I feel rude asking for an instrument someone is using. (if i played bari I would take an alto home over summer break to learn)
Should I just settle for tenor and play with one of my friends or ask for the bari?
