MIDDLE SCHOOL BAND BE LIKE

When it says Bb but they play B Natural

Band teacher: someone sounds off tune can the flutes play it again but one at a time Me: sweats

Clarinets: Being perfectly loud Teacher: CLARINETS GIVE ME MORE!! The class: Looks at clarinets Clarinets: SQEAK Teacher: Ok maybe it was better before

in my band class, everyone gets mad at the trumpets because they're the ones messing up two thirds of the time 💀

"LEARN HOW TO MOVE YOUR FINGERS BOIIIIIIIIII"

Percussion: we’re not going too fast, everyone is going too slow

1:34 as a former middle school lead percussionist, this could not be more accurate 😂

My band teacher had a rule, where whenever you play a percussion instrumen, and you aren't a percussionist, then you either have to do 25 pushups or you get written up. That just led to everybody playing their instruments at the start of class, which led to about 96 decibals for about 5 minutes a day and permanent hearing damage. Somebody also decided to run his hand across the wind chimes one time and got the option of either 720 pushups, or he could get written up. He decided to get written up.

band teacher:percussionists can you play that line again? everyone in the room: turns around to stare at the percussion section

About 2% of middle school band students know what a vibrato is.

As a middle school percussionist, I can confirm that EVERYONE TOUCHES OUR INSTRUMENTS!

“Saxophones your too loud” -Middle school band directors

french horn player: dumps water out* woodwinds:eEEEEewEwwwW

Leaves own funeral sorry I have band

I remember middle school band. In 6th grade, they kept us separated by woodwinds and brass and taught us how to play our instruments first. Then, as we got into actual sheet music, they finally put us together in full band and we got to play all together for the first time. I still remember how glorious (and horrible) it was. As soon as we stopped, everybody started talking to each other about how amazing it felt to be part of that. I miss those days. I wanna be back in high school band so bad man I peaked in high school and my life since has been a slow downfall. It's only been a year since I graduated wtf 😭 I wanna go back to the first time we went to a marching band competition and took home the grand prize. Like that's one hell of an achievement for a "freshman" who hadn't started school yet.

Today I had the interesting experience of playing with the percussionist that was playing with our orchestra for Assessments. (I don’t play percussion, I’m a first violin but I broke my arm yesterday and couldn’t bow so our director just decided I’d figure out how to play tambourine in 45 mins so that I could play the concert.) And here are just a couple things he said: “Wait… WHY DO YOU GUYS HAVE SO MANY NOTES??” “So, are violas just violins that want to be special?” “FOR THE LAST TIME… STOP TOUCHING THE SNARE DRUM.” “So, do like all orchestra directors hate percussionists or just this one?” “I’m confused, you only have 4 strings, how do you make so many different noises?” “Why are the violins such show offs?” “Dude, what’s that big one. Is it on steroids?” (Talking about a double bass 😭) And many more…

Its almost disappointing how true this is.

The most famous quote from all saxophones,,, “wHiCh SaX????”

As a middle schooler who plays the trombone in band, I can confirm everything in this video is true.

Band Director: Alright tubas can we hear measure 1 - 12 please? Tubas: *Plays the same note through all 12 measures. That is a true experience for me.
