How to gain a little more arm muscle?
Hey guys, i'm in marching band and i play the marching french horn. They are a lot heavier than they look and by my arms get really tired by the end of our show (around seven minutes) . i have to have it up almost the whole time. and in parades, they get really tired too. because my arms get tired really fast my horn angle isn't very good. i get yelled at sometimes lol . also it gets really tired at times, i try to push through it and lift my horn up more, but i couldn't move my arm up at all and i moved it down a little. i've been in marching band for about two months, we've had a lot of practices but i still can't get used to carrying that heavy instrument.
now, i'm just looking for simple workouts that will help me gain more muscles. i'm not talking like huge biceps, just a little more. i've been thinking about getting a shake weight, but i'm not sure if that works. thanks so much!

3 AnswersPain & Pain Management1 decade agoWhich of these two volleyballs should I buy and what other equipment do I need for volleyball?
Hey, so I'm going to this volleyball camp. Its nothing big, just something to work on my skills. I want to start playing volleyball, and I thought a camp should be the first step.
I am on a really tight budget, I needed a volleyball for practicing and stuff, and I have exactly 20.04 $ in my amazon giftcard (that's why I have to get it from amazon)
I have two in my mind, but I don't know which one to get :
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001QTS23Q/ref=or...
or
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003EW2C70/ref=or...
they are both in my price range so yeah. also any other recommended volleyballs in my price range, please let me know.
And, what other gear do I need. I already have volleyball kneepads. What kind of shorts should I wear? I played soccer so all I have is basically soccer shorts. Should I buy certain shorts and stuff?
And if it matters, i'm 5'2 , 13 , almost fourteen years old.
like i said, this isn't like a league or anything, just a camp, but i want to be prepared.
and any other tips would be great, or any videos or anything that would help me with anything to do about volleyball. thanks!

1 AnswerRespiratory Diseases1 decade agoalternative to bringing my drum set to acoustic performance?
Hey guys, so i'm performing with a few of my friends and it was going to be non acoustic, but they changed it to acoustic because they didn't want to use electric guitars.
and i don't want to bring my whole drum set because i don't have the transportation for it and it would be to loud even when their acoustic guitars are plugged into an amp.
they said i could do bass but this guy is already doing it, and he doesn't have any bass or guitar expiernce.
my friends said they could buy a tamborine and i could play that, but i think it would be kinda weird.
i was thinking of getting those really small electronic drums but they don't plug into an amp, also i was considering a cajon, but i don't know how loud that is and they are a bit expensive.
any other substitutes that are one hundred dollars or less?
thanks.

Hey guys. My brother doesn't want his cheap bmx anymore, and I like it a lot, it goes really fast and I like it, even though its a cheaper end one. But I want to repaint it puprle. is it worth it? i mean its a cheap bike, we got it for seventy dollars, but like i said i like it. i researched how to repaint bikes and i can get my dad to help me. if i don't repaint it, i would have to wait until next year to get a bike, which i'm pretty impatient. so is it just a waste repainting it? should i just waste?

3 AnswersCycling1 decade agoMy parents doesn't support me wanting to do music when I get older?
Hey guys, I'm 13, going into eighth grade and LOVE music. I know how to play guitar, drums, french horn, trumpet, ukulele, a little bit of keyboard, and i'm learning saxophone. I want to go to college and major in music, for french horn. Everyone tells me since i'm good, and if I keep playing, I'll probably get into a good music school. I know I'm really young and all, but I've made up my mind. My older sister is in college and she supports me. I want to teach and perform music. But my parents on the other hand, don't want me to. They keep saying "you can't do anything with that, its just a hobby your not gonna make a living" and stuff like that. They want me to be either a dentis, docter, or accountant. Which I don't want to be. How can I convince them that I want to do music, because I want to tell them now and not wait til i'm 19 to tell them and them say no.
Also, marching band season is coming up and this year, eighth graders are aloud. I asked my older sister, she said that I should totally join because she couldn't get a chance (she's the oldest and had to babysit us, she was a percussionist, but had to quit, she doesn't play any instruments now) so I asked my mom if I can join, and she said "no". I was like WTF? Like i don't do anything over the summer and I'm really bored. So also how can I convince her to do marching band (I only have like 3 days til sign ups) Thanks so much!
15 AnswersPerforming Arts1 decade agoWhat french horn should I buy?
I'm buying my french horn. I used the school instrument for seventh grade to see if I like it, and I do, so I'm planning to buy one. I played a cornet in sixth grade and moved to french horn. But i'm not sure what french horn to get.
I need a french horn that will last me through high school and eighth grade (5 years). I'm also on a tight budget so for a new french horn I don't want to pay more than 2,000 dollars, and for a used no more than 1,500 dollars. I also want a double french horn, because I'm used to the fingerings.
I was looking at this page http://www.wwbw.com/Double-Horns-French-Horns1.wwb... and I was wondering if any of those could last me through highschool. If not, would you recommend one that fits everything I listed above?
If you want more info, I posted this on a forum and I usually update. http://forum.saxontheweb.net/showthread.php?141229...
thankyouu!

1 AnswerPerforming Arts1 decade agoWhich of these two hair flar irons should I get?
Okay, so this is my second flat iron. my first one is a cheap 20 dollar one, i made a mistake on buying it, and it seems like its falling apart, and i got it in september 09.
So now i'm buying a more expensive one. I have narrowed it down to two flat irons, both made by babyliss, and both around the same price.

So which of these two do you think i should buy and why?
Thankkk youu.

3 AnswersMySpace1 decade agowhich of these two ukuleles should i get?
http://www.amazon.com/Lanikai-LU-21-Soprano-Ukulel...
http://www.amazon.com/Mahalo-U-50G-Economy-Soprano...
the first one has great reviews, is better quality , but is more expensive.
the mahalo, or the second one, also has pretty good reviews, but not as good as the lanikai, but is cheaper. i am trying to save money, and both are pretty good choices for me. i am not going to take ukulele serious, just to play around with. i have 55 dollars in my amazon account so which should i get? i am leaning more towards the lanikai because it will last longer, but i'm willing to try the mahalo, and for the price of the mahalo, it has great reviews.
so which one? thanks!
oh and i already know drums , guitar, piano, trumpet, and french horn, so i want to self teach myself uke.
