Many people think of classical music as an acquired taste. We "acquire" tastes for all kinds of music without realising it such as country, pop, raggea,and jazz but most people considers classical music difficult to appreciate. It is really quite a diverse field of music and there is a wide variety of classical styles. Meet other Classical …

Hello all music lovers. I was in a marching band (snare and bass) years ago, however I had to stop playing because I was on the football team. I recently came across some real cool marching and drumline videos and felt it would be really fun to be apart of something like that again. I may be a little rusty after almost 20 something years away, but I imagine it wouldn't take it long to come back. If you like the idea, let discuss it. Where is it written that only high school and college students …
