but back to the scheduled programming!

FIRST. VIOLIN.

second chair to annabeth, of course

always leads tuning and scales

honestly the only person keeping the orchestra on track

is an awesome conductor!!

percy jackson

first chair of the second violins!

him and annabeth are constantly going back and forth with each other

“we have the melody” “well, we have the harmony”

the whole orchestra ships them

him and piper LOVE making fun of the first violins

don’t underestimate him because he’s a second violinist; he’s been playing for years

BONUS: octavian

uses vibrato during TUNING

would DEFINETLY start passive-aggressively humming the notes if he thinks you’re out of tune

spoiler alert: he’s out of tune 90% OF THE TIME

won’t shut up about THE ONE TIME he got to play a stradivarius

piper and leo CONSTANTLY mess w/ him

the whole orchestra messes w/ him tbh

met a girl on tinder who’s violin is named edgar and mine is named victor pierre (of course) so now i feel obligated to take her out on a date so that our violins can have like a play date together or something

I only respect 2 second violins:

- the very sweet and talented one in my chamber who is often the only second who does anything

-the eccentric gay one I met at all county who skipped right over awkward first conversation and went straight into friendly insults

String orchestra instruments (simplified)

[spinningwheeloftime]

the motto of strings when they mess up

according to my orchestra

first violins: let’s play louder to disguise the fact we don’t know what tempo we’re at rn

second violins: maybe if we pretend we’re just the first violins who know what they’re doing it’ll be okay

violas: to fade out of existence, nothingness, the void, it calls to me, so i must answer

cellos: it’s improv time :)

bass: if i play my lowest string, maybe they can’t hear me anymore?

[thescientificviolist]

i cant even say the word "interesting" normally anymore, thanks twoset

[verycorrectlotr]

string instruments: are you valid?

a true story from youth orchestra many years ago

Conductor: Okay I've decided to add this piece to the program, let's sightread Wagner's Prelude to Act 3 of Lohengrin. Everyone: Cool let's do it. Second Violins: *get fucking launched into the stratosphere by the second measure* After sightreading: Conductor: Okay that wasn't bad, now you know what it's supposed to sound like. Let's do this one more time so you know what to practice for next week. Brass: FUCK YEAH WAGNER Second Violins: *still have not found a way to safely return to earth*
