=Welcome to our Band Page Wiki!=

On this site, we will be working on creating a listening list and a brief history of our instruments, the wind band and orchestra, and musical styles. You have two assignments to complete for this project: > Then write a brief history of your topic (at least 1000 words) and include all your resources:
 * 1) Find a professional musician on the Internet who plays your instrument. Place that musician in our list under your instrument and include their full name, where they are from, and the URL with link to their website or a listening/video example of them performing. If you have trouble finding a musician that has not already been chosen on our list, then add three listening examples and/or URL's about a musician already listed on the wiki and add who they perform with or did perform with.
 * 2) The second part is for you to contribute to the history of the instruments, wind band and orchestra, or musical style. This part will be done in a group of 4. As a group, you are to choose one of the topics listed in the Wind Band and Orchestra, Instruments, or Musical Styles page.
 * 1) If you choose an instrument include who created it, when and where was it created, material it is made out of (modern instruments may be different from what they were traditionally made of), what types of music is it popular in, and about how much would you need to spend to buy your own. You can also include the companies who make the instrument today.
 * 2) If you choose to do a Wind Band or Orchestra group, include the date they were created and where they are from in your brief history. Include at least one link or listening/video example of the group, and name the conductor/director of the group if available
 * 3) If you choose to pick a musical style, include in your brief history when it was created/popular and what made it distinct from other styles of music. Include composers, musicians, and/or groups that made this music popular. Include at least two listening/video examples of this music
