[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Something to consider:  less students pick the baritone.  My DC started playing in in 4th grade, despite me trying to persuade him to pick a smaller instrument to walk back and forth to school with.  He played it all through HS and university marching band and even marched in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade with his university band a couple years ago (there is a smaller version of the baritone/euphonium for marching).  DS enjoyed it, was serious and good but he never had a private lesson and he was not exceptionally talented.  [b]There just is not a lot of competition for spots in the band for this instrument, unlike a trumpet or a trombone.  In fact, several trumpet and trombone players in his university marching band switched to baritone every year in order to be members.[/b][/quote]

PP with the DD who does baritone. This is a point in favor of it. She plays for fun, good but not super serious but still got a music scholarship for college to encourage her to continue. The symphony only has two baritone players. [/quote]
