[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, it’s an old thread, but as the mom of a serious percussionists, I want to point out that playing the triangle or cymbals in a band isn’t a thing. That’s auxiliary percussion, and if you play percussion, not only are you playing all the big three (snare, mallets and timpani), you are also playing any auxiliary (triangle, bass, cymbals, and many other oddities). They can be easy instruments to get a sound out of, but second only to soloists, they are the most nakedly exposed instruments in the entire band. If one flute out of 10 plays a wrong note, no one will notice… but yeah, hit that bass drum at the wrong time and everyone will know.[/quote] This is true in an orchestra, or a concert band. But for many kids, elementary school band is a step en route to marching band, and there are definitely kids there who play just one percussion instrument there. [/quote]
