#woodwind problems

Tuning my flute

*Other flutes hovering over my shoulder and judging

*Piccolos laughing

*A clarinet glaring from across the room

*A group of trumpets flinch

*Trombones laugh evilly

*A percussionist looks at his mallots appreciatively

*My bd just looks at me

So long as they keep on marking up reed prices, I will continue suffering

I sorted my reeds this afternoon. Results were predictable.

HEY in other news, I’m going to have a table at the SF Zine Fest on September 4th! This is my first ever tabling event and I am so excited to be getting involved in the comics and zine community. If you live in the Bay Area and are into zines, art, comics, and DIY awesome, stay tuned...

Ive learned my lesson. Always let your reeds air dry. Always poke holes in the cases to let air in. RIP little bassoon reed.

A Disadvantage of being a woodwind (or brass) player.

Swearing while practicing.... We all swear when we practice... But is woodwinds and brass players can't swear WHILE we play our instruments.

A thing that litterally just happened

Me: *in room doing homework* Stepdad: *comes in* Stepdad: Hey I got you reeds Me: Oh thank you Stepdad: *puts reeds on music stand and walks out* Me: *gets up and gets reeds* Me: What the fuck. How am I supposed to play with these. These are clarinet reeds not bass clarinet reeds. They are completely different. My mom wasnt in band and she gets the right ones. You goddamn trumpet.

When you want to audition for a drum corps but you’ve only been playing a brass instrument for a year.
