Band culture is asking someone if they’re in band and getting excited when they say yes only to be very disappointed when they mean a rock band

When your whole squad backs you up in a fight but you music af.

Thanks for 1,000 notes guys 💕

[sawftbinch]

i’m just mad that they were able to hide 2 whole people + trombones behind one person that’s amazing

THAT WAS A FUCKING SASSY LOOK FROM DUDE UP FRONT

[celloizing]

share your school orchestra/band instrument horror stories with me

i’ll start:

a girl in my high school orchestra dragged her bass around by the scroll everywhere and broke chunks off 

[a-violist-blog]

I was in band with a girl who played a several thousand dollar flute (that was owned by the school) with gum in her mouth.

[reau-reau]

I was in band… And we had trumpets.

[icethedragon]

A kid once borrowed a cello and brought it back in a soft case. After he left I opened the case and the the scroll was broken in half and the bridge was snapped.

[um-bre-on]

There was a kid swinging his violin by the neck and dropped it, bridge broke and the violin had a huge crack.

[lifestooshorttobecool]

A kid in my band dropped his tuba off the first riser. Big sound. Big dent. Heart attack

[fluteforthought]

A girl in my band accidentally sat on her clarinet and broke it in half.

[flute-saraswati]

a kid in a year 8 class I assist got a pencil stuck down the (dented) bell end of the trumpet. it wasn’t even a proper seal so we couldn’t even blow it out, one of the teachers managed it

[theodduckling-deactivated201808]

Clarinetist jumped on her clarinet

Different clarinetist’s cork broke off her mouthpiece right before we went on stage

Ran a stand trolley into a Xylophone (noise was actually quite musical)

[trumpet-jesus]

My friends trumpet was dented down on the bell, he tried to correct it one day in class, ended up looking like dizzie gillespie’s trumpet then proceded to play on said trumpet

[flaming-celestial-comet]

One of my friends somehow got paper shoved into his French horn right before we had to go on for a concert and it had to be fished out with a drumstick

A rare picture of me practicing

[machines-march]

Band instruments as things I've heard them say

Piccolo: .... (I don't think I've ever heard them speak. Thinks they're better than everyone and doesn't talk to other band kids)

Flute: guess what 'band director' said about 'piccolo'

Oboe: *quietly playing a solo, very concentrated*

Bassoon: *squeak*

Clarinet: we're gonna play those two notes ff instead of p so it sounds like 'DOOT DOOT' wanna help

Bass clarinet: I don't think I play here

Alto saxophone: I can fit my whole mouthpiece down my throat I'll show you

Tenor saxophone: we either play 4 half notes the entire song...or constant 32nd notes....I don't understand

Bari saxophone: so do I do sectionals with the trombones, or...?

Trombones: *screams into instrument*

Tuba: why am I even here

French horn: (secluded, doesn't speak much. Very put together. Know what they're doing)

Trumpet: *clearly plays wrong note* that wasn't me

Percussion: *screaming* RATCHET SUPREMACY

[hisaishi-d-away]

I’M LAUGHING SO HARD RN

band director: okay y'all 5 minutes for water break

me: thank you! *gets water and finally sits*

band director: okay BACK TO SET 23

*it's been 1 minute*

[orchestraordie]

imagine the version of yourself that was just beginning to learn your instrument. imagine what they would think if they could see you now. how proud they’d be.

[official-mellophone]

Feet: Together Stomach: In Chest: Out Shoulders: Back Chin: Up Eyes: With pride

[perksofband]

Reblog if joining band was one of the best decisions you've made

I know it’s one of mine!

[pianistical]

i hate when people go “oh but you’re a girl you can’t play an instrument that big/that low, it’s not ladylike”. yeah right. watch me NAIL that part on the double bass. my cello vibrato is amazing. i’ll crow a bassoon reed in your ear. i don’t give a fuck

[machines-march]

Band Director: Upperclassmen, what are some things that you want the freshman to know?

Trumpet Player: That when you say "one more time," you really mean a million more times.

Band Director: Why does everyone say that? There's no finality in that statement. If I said "one LAST time," that would be different. If I say one more time, I mean I want you to do it one more time..and possibly one more time after that. It's better than me saying "17 more times!" Isn't it?

Things overheard in the music building:

“1/4? Really? Who writes a measure of ¼. WHY would you write a measure of ¼?”  “Because fuck you that’s why.”  “I will literally trade you my sandwich for that practice room.”  “Dude you should eat your lunch.”  “I won’t be able to eat it if my teacher decapitates me for not practicing JUST TAKE IT.” “I always wanted to look inside the percussion room. It’s like Narnia, but noisier.”  “Satan created piccolos to punish the trumpets for their pride.”  “I’m thinking about dropping music history.”  “But why, don’t you need that class?” “Yes but half of it is non-music majors and two people were having a discussion about why there were hashtags at the beginning of the music.” “So my teacher convinced me to take the History of Rock and Roll over the Summer but it was an online course and he found the webcam filters and inevitably the first unit ended up being taught by a talking dinosaur on my webcam. This man teaches college theory.” “SHH. Don’t say the theory teacher’s name. He’s like Beetlejuice. If you say it three times he’ll appear behind you and fuck your shit up.” “I found out Mozart had a butt fetish and I’m never going to be able to stop calling him Mozfart.”  “If I see a drink within 100 feet of that Steinway I will track you down and beat you with my harpsichord.”  

[teukiewookie]

“Theres no way a tuba can fit in that tiny ass locker.” “Not with that attitude.”

~somebody accidentally slams the piano keys with the backpack~ “Same.”

“It’s just simple stomps and claps.” “I’m a SINGER. If I could stomp and clap don’t you think I’d be SOMETHING ELSE?!”

“It’s a simple repetition.” “You’re a simple repetition.” “Shut the fuck up.”

[revanchistsuperstar]

Me (drunk in a practice room at 3am because I wanted to see how it felt to play trombone when I can’t feel my face. Also, I’m slamming the piano keys with my forearms): FUCK YOU I’M HENRY COWELL

[lizawithazed]

“I think the actors have been shortcutting through here again; I smell booze”

“what the fuck even is 5/4?″ “Mission: The Impossible Theme”

“radio feedback is absolutely a valid instrument” “spoken like a composition major”

[thegreatweissshark]

“Help my fist is stuck in the tuba!”

And my personal favourite:

-Awful noise-

“What was that!?” “My hopes and dreams of making it in the industry.”
