My school didn't until 7th grade. We started in 5th grade and could choose from Trumpet, trombone, clarinet and flute. Then in 6th grade they would add French horn, and the saxophone. Then once we hit 7th grade we could switch to things like I hated the bass clarinet, my friend played the oboe, there was a baritone sax player. we had a couple tuba players. I didn't go on to play in highschool. I live in Michigan. Now my son's started with the same 4 options but a whole year earlier. Oh and orchestra also started in 4th grade as opposed to 5th when we started band.
and not to mention that ur band class always forgets u exist and doesnt print out oboe music so u have to look at flute music instead 😭 at least from my experience
WRONG!!! (At least in a higher band class). Oboes gets a lot of recognition if you can play well on it. Many many solos on it. If you are 1st chair for a wind ensemble band, it’s crazy how many solos you can get.
Lol my band has 4 alto saxes and 2 tenor saxes, 1 trumpet, 2 flutes, 2 clarinets, 1 bass clarinet, 2 trombones, 1 oboe (me!), 4 percussionists, 1 tuba, 2 French horns, and 1 violin 😂 we’re a tiny band but we have a decent instrumentation!
Hahaha I never thought oboe was normal. I vetoed clarinet, vetoed about every other instrument too. Mom just went “hey, this instrument is weird like you, you should try it!” Tried it, been in love with it ever since! (6 years, am a sophomore, started in 5th grade)
I play the oboe too and so many of my friends will make fun of me and think I’m weird but I absolutely love it and I can always rub it in their face that I’m better than them because I’m first chair in the top band at my school while they’re stuck in the middle band for playing a popular instrument. The perks of playing double reeds
I wish I had switched from trumpet to French horn in 9th grade when they asked us trumpeters, but my parents had just bought me a brand new trumpet. I would have been WAY higher playing French horn. I tell everyone, pick an instrument that is always short! Pick oboe, bassoon, low reeds, French horn, tuba, etc.
I had a prescription bottle to carry water for my reed and during band a kid went up to me and asked, “So you take medicine?” 💀 Update: my principal saw it during lunch and looked at it and I explained to her what it was and she trusted me 💀 I’m using my Stanley cup as the water carrier now ✋😭
My band director literally threw away my reed cup once thinking somebody took med and did not threw away their cup. RIP to that cup, who I used since when I first started to play oboe.
I want to learn the oboe because it’s so pretty, but I’m switching to woodwind after so long being a string player, so I’ve been told I need to start with something easier :(
Learned in a music education class I popped into specifically to listen to the lecture on oboes, one of the things band teachers look into when choosing (drafting) oboe players is good embouchure, patience/dedication, and good fingering capabilities (I. Forgot the terminology for that. It sounds so bad like that…), so you should take your teacher’s desire as a compliment!
I chose oboe for beginning band in fifth grade, couldn't stick it out and switched to tenor. However, it will absolutely hold a place in my heart, beautiful instrument.
I also keep a random wad of cash in my case because when I get moisture in a hole it throws my tamber off edit: forgot to explain that for whatever reason a dollar bill is the most effective way to dry that
I’m in the 6th grade band and I chose oboe thinking it was easy But….. It’s not easy. I had my first chair test today and I think I did…ok We just had our 2nd chair test a few weeks ago.. I made a 98 and got 1st chair for oboe Had our 3rd chair test like 2 months ago and I got 1st chair again… Good luck to everyone who is in band or wants to be in band. Little update… I’m in 7th grade now. I dropped out of band and got rid of my oboe because I felt I wasn’t learning anything from my band directors. Honestly miss band and the ppl in it.

@@wMattie Oh, I've been out of the game for far too long now to remember, haha. I did a quick look and the nearest to what I was using back in the day you can find on ebay for about $10. There are others out there for ridiculous prices of $300 and I couldn't justify that cost, but maybe the eBay ones are just rubbish and if you want something of quality, you need to spend a bit more. Just looking at reed prices these days makes my head shake, I was paying about third of the price they go for now.
we have one oboe (he is my friend) and I feel like his backpack is just filled with oboe stuff. Im kinda glad there is only one of him because that thing is LOUD!
