Hey thanks for all the input.
In response to all the questions, they are Yamahas. And as a matter of fact, some quick background, I was a 4 foot 10 inch freshman and the directors were fixated on having me march baritone, however they let me have a shot and I ended up marching contra as a freshman. I am now 5 foot 2 so not much has changed and I am still the smallest in my section, but nonetheless, I am doing what I love doing. Also, I do like Mr Delacruz or DLC as we refer to him in the Woodlands. I think he is a fantastic director and wonderful influence.
