I played cornet (small trumpet) then baritone (small euphonium) in a brass-band basically from primary school up until I graduated university and moved oversea. I went to conservatorium through all the amateur levels, got my certificate degree and then stopped classes. My town band would also compete regionally and nationally, and get decent results!
I guess I got good enough to play properly in my town band and be first chair of the baritone section, but I was never passionate enough to go pro, or even to join a more important band.
