Hopefully someone can help me out here. My son is a freshman in HS this year. He has played bassoon for 3 years. Two of those years he has been in All Region Band, and one in All Region Orchestra. He is a good player, and has All State potential.
Now our dilemma; Our HS band director will not march bassoons. Last week my son was handed a marching baritone, and basically it's sink or swim. He came home on Friday saying, "I have to play the fight song to get a marching position." Translated, there's no way I can pull this off in the time I have, so I'll be sitting in the stands.
The question: Any of you who have ever been in this position, or any with insight...What would be an instrument that would be an easy transition?
HELP!!
