Oh, hey, look, a thing that I belong to!
I started learning the flute when I was in 6th grade, so 11 years old. Thats, um...35 years ago. xD
And yes, I can still play, though I do have a stronger proficiency on the oboe.
Ooh, ooh! I did this! I played bass keyboard in high school jazz band, but my senior year, I managed to convince my director to let me do a solo on the flute. Got myself an Outstanding Soloist award at contest that year.
