small clarinet things
- how players will blow a note and then adjust their ligature and reed so it doesn’t sound breathy
- clear, round low notes
- so many trill keys that sound so pretty when they’re used properly
- that miniscule crescendo after two measures of tremelo as they try to adjust to whole notes again; the delicate hitch in their breath as they build to the right dynamics
- I’m just feeling hella gay right now and there’s this player okay she’s so goddamn pretty and –
I don’t understand how people quit or don’t like band. It’s literally one of the best things that’s ever happened to me, and it hurts that my friends are leaving.
It may seem stupid that I’m getting so emotional about something that I still have so many years, and so many opportunities still, as freshman year is ending.
I’m going to be a section leader next year and it scares me that I might forget how to have fun and let loose in band, especially when so many of my friends are leaving it next year.
I just want to make the most of it while I’m here, and it’s hard to think a whole year went by like that.
There’s two things that my band director says before every game, when we’re lining up in parade block and it’s something that I think everyone should hear.
What makes a band successful? Every single person does their absolute best, all the time.
Remember who you are, remember who you represent, remember who you want to be.
And some of you may take it as just some stupid band thing, but you have to look past your section, past the band, past the people around you in order to really believe it. You have to look at yourself and tell yourself who you are and who you want to be to make it come true, to do your absolute best all the time.
And this may be why band is so important to me but it really is a family, as stupid as that may sound.

Reminding your section to take a drink
woodwinds borrowing a dollar vs. other people borrowing a dollar
other people-
person 1: hey could i borrow a dollar to buy a soda?
person 2: ya sure
woodwinds-
woodwind: hey could i borrow a dollar?
person 2: ya sure

Someone just posted this on the fb flute forum, I thought it was too good to no post it here! ;)
This is what woodwinds think low brass music looks like.
Or a giant trumpet?
Terrifying things said in my marching band
“Go back to set 1”
“Because the Trumpets won’t listen, we are running part 2 all the way through”
“Ok water break over!”
“I’m gonna try to jump over all the clarinets and flutes I can.”
“Did someone step on my instrument?”
“DOES ANYONE HAVE AN EXTRA PLUME?!?”
“MIKE BROKE A CAN OF HAIR SPRAY IN THE TUBA ROOM!!”
“Holy shit the directors pissed!”
“This isn’t your jacket”
“No watch me I can colo-I CAN COLOR GAURD WITH MY BARRY CLARINET WATCH”
“a cheerleader broke a prop holy shit we’re walking on the field right now”
*starts performance* “DRUM MAJORS, IS YOUR BAND READY??”
“No I don’t need to count.”
“Watch me chug this Mountain Dew.”
“Guys…we can’t warm up before halftime because the refs won’t let us.”
“They cut funding again.”
I was chuckling at the accuracy of all of them until the last one. The last one is so heartbreaking. Everytime I think of a program like this disappearing, or coming and going like the sun, it crushes me. Some people need these programs to feel like their existence has a purpose. They belong somewhere. They don’t feel the sadness of every day when they are at rehearsal (regardless of how much they may complain), performances, etc. For a brief moment, all is right with the world. So when it’s presence is threatened, it’s disheartening and downright wrong. Don’t take someone’s sanity and happiness.
She’s right you know
my friend is learning clarinet with the most meme-worthy book ive ever seen
tag urself im a BAD piece!
I want to find a more difficult song for an actual school concert with this kind of humor and punmanship in it! Imagine the reaction of the band when they first get the sheet music and begin looking over it to find all of this?
Have (another) meme
I know these are dots for field shows but I really wish we had that at my school. :((

I shared this and my ol’ high school music teacher funny reacted to it
legitimate advice from one of the instructors at a masterclass I went to recently: if you get the first three notes and the last note and just fake the rest, everyone will believe you got all the notes
<.<
>.>
*totally never did this with singing*
My band was too little and being the only clarinet for two years? You couldn’t fake that shit. 😂 I literally never got away with this once.
I got away with this so much in high school! I still tried playing the whole run, but when I couldn’t I did exactly this. Cuz the instructor said “if ya can’t play the notes right, don’t play at all. Fake it till ya make it”
