Whats Your Best Musical Accomplishment?

[7777777777444]

The title mostly says it all; Escapsit, what is your greatest musical accomplishment? These can personal accomplishments (Learn a Certaint Song, perhaps,) or perfessional, (Made your 20th album,) or really anythingyou chose!

My recent accomplishment would have to be... Learning the song, Elfen Lied-Lilium, of with im a major fan.

I play trombone, and in my first year in Marching Band, we played The Beatles for our field show. It was awesome and sounded great and all, but for some stupid reason, at the homecoming game, my section leader decided to not show up. This guy was the senior Low Brass dude, and as such he had the solo at the start of Hey Jude. I was swiftly conscripted to learn it, not 2 hours before the game. I went outside with one other person and memorized the damn thing in 15 minutes flat. At the game, nobody knew it was me who was playing it instead, not friends nor parents nor teachers. After the second song (Eleanor Rigby), I jogged to the front, and started off playing off the lovely solo at the front. When I was done, I was happy and shocked and petrified and joyous and ecstatic, it was incredible.
Actually, I found a video of my marching band back then, it wasn't me doing the solo, but it sounds the same

Making first chair in the college band my freshman year on the French Horn (I was still in High School). Seems like a simple instrument, but practice was the only thing that allowed me to play that finicky p.o.s

3rd chair 1st Violin in an orchestra comprised of medical students, surgeons, life sciences professors, and biomedical engineers.

I've recently learnt I'll Follow You Into The Dark on guitar and I have written 5 songs

I learned the first movement of the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto and played it decently, which was pretty rewarding because it's one of my favorite classical music pieces of all time.

Another high point in terms of fun was performing the Beethoven "Pastoral" Symphony no. 6 with my regional orchestra. Such a lovely piece (and not overly difficult to perform either!)

Two months of musical chairs....

On weekend one, I passed my grade 8 piano exams (Royal Schools), grade 6 vocal (ditto), played lead trumpet in the national marching brass band competition (mix of gold and silver medals) as well as taking part in the national Werner Nel competition finals for university music scholarships (only person competing in two categories - came second in one and third in another).

That weekend was shortly followed by jetting off to Singpore as part of a touring marching brass band, and shortly after that, flying to Europe on concert tour with the choir.

Do vocals and play piano, trumpet, violin and pipe organ to a high level. Can also muck around with the guitar, the trombone (valve, not slide ) and cello but not nearly as good as the others.

winning guitar hero on the Ultra Pelvic Thrust level of difficulty with 5 screaming fans in attendence (thats normal, with lots of thrusting). i also sang Werewolves of london. And my hair was perfect

 

[CrashBang]

Playing live in my old band a few years back was pretty awesome. But, back then, I was a terrible drummer so I can't wait to be in another band asap (now that I'm actually a good drummer). I also recently learned a few pretty tough Parkway Drive songs so that was awesome.
I can also growl really well (Whitechapel fans out there may be impressed).

I learned how to play "Charlie Chips" on the recorder. That is, nothing but 'C'. /Flex

 

[LobsterFeng]

I can play "Stairway to Heaven" on the Ukelele.

 

[Panorama]

I stopped having to try and play the recorder after the age of about 14ish year 9 at school, it turned out that i have very little to no musical talent.

5 years ago in high school playing bass during a guitar solo while drinking a beer(Denmark was pretty liberal back then). Granted it was 8 bars of the same note, but being slightly drunk I felt like a ROCK GOD, capital letters and all. Some of the teachers weren't thrilled, but it was our last number so they couldn't do much. That was the most awesome.
The most fulfilling was also in high school acing musical exams playing some south american easy listening jazz on my acoustic guitar. I didn't get standing ovations, but I like to think that my censor squeezed out a manly tear.

I play drums. I'm not so good (yet) so I haven't accomplished much. I would say my best is actually something I done earlier today, which is getting in my very first band.
