Can I add orchestral instruments to a rock band? I want to learn blackwinds, but my classmates want to form a band.

Blackwinds are fine to add between rock bands, but it's hard to have a major role because of the keyboard instruments. Lao Tse plays guzheng, but how many songs have guzheng in them? Innovation is innovation, but it's not a constant after all. Even in symphonies, woodwinds rarely play melodies in long stretches, but are more often used as a means of tonal harmonization, to make passing tones or ornamental notes. (Notice I said rarely, not nonexistent)
