I could say - and therefore I shall, that you are evidently excluded by being a percussionist - AKA a drummer... by being able to fill in the form in the first place!!!

Yep, I'm an oboe too. The Band of the Forum of the RN Bands is going to sound like a load of wasps in a paper bag! Oh, my second most appropriate instrument was a trombone... watch out Mrs BB!

I've worked it out....

This selection quiz thingie must be sponsored by oboeists anonymous UK...
The only way they'll recruit anyone to play the squeaky duck is by fooling them into believing they're naturally gifted at it!!!

Either that or it means that any damn fool can pick one up and blow a perfect concert A!!

quack quack!
