Who plays music?

I have a Bb Trumpet for commercial and pop gigs and a C trumpet for classical music or for playing in church.

I've always loved the flugelhorn.  Trumpet gets all the love, but I really appreciate that mellow sound from the flugelhorn.  My favorite in the brass section is the French horn, though.  In a similar way, I'm more attracted to cello over violin.  I'm not embedded in any way in the band community, but it feels to me like classical band instruments (including jazz, marching band, symphony) have much less interest now than they did in the past.  Music class in my kids' school doesn't have them learn instruments, just ideas.  Band is an elective, so very few students actually take up an instrument, which I think is sad. 

I love guitar and modern music, but there's not much more of a moving musical experience to me than a full symphony orchestra performing live in a theater.
