Hi!
I'm a mallet player (well, duh), but I've played other instruments. I used to play clarinet, right from 5th grade up until 9th-since the clarinet section was too big, the director made half of us switch sections, and he pretty much pointed to me and said "You play piano, right?"-I nodded-"Good, you're in the mallet section now."
That's how I came to be in the mallet section. And apparently, because I'm the eldest of the section, they appointed me section leader (not much of a point to that, since there's only four of us...), but I deal.
My school's band-we're pretty big, biggest in the area. If there's two things my school is known for, it's the football team and the band. Our halftime shows are never traditional-we always do some weird theme-but the crowds love it, so I guess I do, too.
And are there any other mallet players out there besides me?
Again, hi, everyone!

I dabble a bit in mallets. I'm a clarinet player though. Everytime I try to get involed with percussion my director decides I need to be on clarinet. ><
Welcome! -stalk-
Watch out - there's some people here who like licking newbies. -shudder-

Hullo!
Welcome welcome! I have to take a piano class this semester and I'm horrible soooo I don't want to know how bad I'd be at mallets... one of my exs was a really good mallet player and he tried to teach me. EPIC FAIL.
Yeah, and watch out for the people who lick. (I'm not one of them...)

I haven't even touched my clarinet since I started playing mallets-it's growing dusty in the corner of my room.
Thanks for the welcome! I honestly didn't think there were people out there besides me who were totally obsessed with band-it feels like I found the one forum where I can totally geek out about band-things and not get teased for it.
Licking?.....thanks for the heads-up.

Eh, we just lick newbies. It's from before my time... I joined, what? 4? 5 years ago? So...

Anyways, welcome to the boards!
