central WI here. i also do a little jazz playin at school on the set (drum set). its fun, we have an awesome bass player (we're also startin a band this summer) but I dont really like playing infront of people. i can do band concerts cause there are other percussionists but in jazz theres only one drummer. so if i make a mistake then all eyes are on me. lol. i would stay in but....i guess i just dont want to. and here, lol, we're no dieing breed. almost the whole school is band and this year about 10 new people joined percussion, but 4 dropped out.

oh, im sorry to hear you dont get break HG89. thats gotta suck.
