Musical War
I have randomly thought about this for a really long time and I just really needed to get it off my chest because it’s weird and I can’t stop thinking about it. I play violin so I couldn’t help but think if one day the government came knocking on my door and said that they needed to draft any musicians into the army because musical instruments suddenly held real power and people all over the world are just going to war with each other like-
Voices would be like the basic self-defense because everyone can do that.
Drums would be used like how they usually are as well as trumpets.
The instruments that you need to stay in place with like the cello or double bass or something else like that, I don’t know, the xylophone? Would be like the stationary guns or weapons that can’t move.
The majority of instruments, however, can be played while moving so they’d be like the foot soldiers, like the violin, the viola, the flute, clarinet, whatever.
Then the conductors would be the generals and the first chair in the orchestra would be the lieutenant or something.
Then each side would be trying to steal music sheets from each other to learn and practice their secrets.
Secretly Beethoven and Bach were master army strategists in their music.
It’d just music battles, rap battles, something like that, and duets, trios, and quartets and stuff.
Then the army would actually be called the orchestra, or the band.
I don’t know guys, I think about this, like, a LOT.
