the section's cases

french horn: shiny and chrome

tuba: don't even know they have one

euphonium / baritone: only together by one latch

flute: treated with almost as much care as the instrument

mellophone: has been drawn on with sharpie

trumpet: the exterior is fine. the interior has all sorts of random crap

trombone: held together by duck tape and prayers

piccolo: one screw missing that constantly bugs them

saxophone: neat and organized. they probably have extra reeds for other instruments just in case

clarinet: special compartments for good, okay, and bad reeds

oboe / bassoon: normally looks like a bomb went off

violin: puts everyone else to shame

[piccoloangel-blog]

Normal people: Tri-plet

Music kids: Tri-puh-let

Foorball games in the winter.

Walked into the band room today at lunch and saw this

[nopenopegoodbye-deactivated2025]

That’s what I do at lunch time. I don’t need food. I can thrive off the energy in the band room.

[nopenopegoodbye-deactivated2025]

Also I’m usually dead by lunch time and I need to recover somewhere and the babd room works for that.

[bassshananagins]

my band room has heated floors

[iisazel]

Everyone says that I’m a sprite whose life force comes from the band room

[sry-nt-sry]

Don’t lie on the floor, millions of gallons of spit have been emptied there

[an-anticlimactic-bass-drop]

Must be audition week

[piccoloangel-blog]

Love that band room...

Ravel's Bolero

In the beginning: Cute solos. Audience is going "wow" and everybody is happy and perky. Can do everything in the world. Tone is amazing.

In the end: The flutist and clarinetist stabbed themselves with their instruments. The audience is rioting. The conductor was poisoned my a viola. The snare drummer disappeared through the back door and demolished the concert hall. The world is destroyed.
