Mostly A's: Clarinet You're probably as normal as a decent musician can be, and you don't like getting in trouble. Mostly B's: Trumpet You think you're the awesomest person alive, and you probably are. You rock at your instrument and love sitting behind people so you can play in their ear. Mostly C's: Saxaphone No offense to you or all the saxaphone players out there...but you're weird. Sometimes this is a really good weird, and sometimes, it's just a really, really bad weird. I am not kidding you. All you other people, approach the saxaphones at your own risk. Mostly D's: Drums You, my friend, are in a group all your own. You probably don't read music, and you're unique in that while other band members are called "a trumpet" or "an oboe" or "a glass armonica," you are called "a drummer," not "a drum." You're usually off in your own little world, and if somebody asked you why you were in band, you probably would have no idea how to answer them.
