I never played the bugle but I did play the flute in fourth grade for a few months. Then I quit. I just wasn't for me. However, I did play the electronic synthesizer in gifted and talented music in sixth grade and performed "We're Not Gonna Take It" by Twisted Sister in the school concert. That was pretty rockin'.
