playing in a symphonic orchestra. sure, it sounds cool, but most people don't know much about the topic and feel intimidated by it, so the conversation is just me attempting to convince them that it's not just for rich nerds and you can be casual about classical music.
Unfortunately I could never really get that into playing and practising solo and although I continued for a while regardless I eventually dropped my lessons, something I now kinda regret, but being part of an orchestra was always my favourite part of playing the violin.
