"Baby on board, How I've adored, That sign on my car's windowpane." I think it would be a riot.

I can say I'm eager to play with a group--any group.

They can both incorporate improvisation if the players are so inclined. I play bass with Dixieland Plus here in Burlington and with a Klezmer group in the Niagara area. I feel privileged to be able to learn about both styles of music when I play with each group. The trumpet player in our Klezmer group has just moved out of the area. and I don't know if they are looking for a replacement.

We weren't really great marchers, and there weren't really enough of us, but it was fun. I would like to do that in a bigger group. New Orleans style: yes, that looks and sounds fun. Klezmer group? Again, looks and sounds fun, probably not marching.

The careless feeling that comes from good playing right through to the madcap, let it rip, would feel good.

Actually, if I could I would like to either 1) join Drum Corps (but it would be as Colour guard...Haven't spun a rifle in years or be in the pit with the toys...lol) or 2) a female barbershop group (my younger sister does this - last time I sung was back in High school). Actually, I am a big fan of Enka (introduced to me during the 1990 Japan/Hawaii Tour)...would love to sing that style.
I have marched with BTTB, RHLI Regimental, and continue to do so with Top Hats Marching Orchestra.
I was part of a children's choir, and through that sang in "Carmina Burana" (in latina no less!), performed in a city-wide high school production of "Jesus Christ Superstar ", and played in my high school's orchestra.
So there is not much I haven't experienced, however I am open to suggestions!!!!

These are generally larger choruses, but within a chorus there are often several quartets. They are always loads of fun. There are local groups, too.

Although I'm also thinking of those New Orleans style marching bands which are less disciplined and more fun 😉 .
Outside of my trumpet, I'd have to say being in a barbershop quartet has always been a casual aspiration - sadly I've never seen any women in a barbershop quartet, only a capella groups which isn't really the same thing.
