10 Types of BAND DIRECTORS!

[@DavePollack]

Which one is YOUR director?? If you have any other types let me know! There WILL be a part 2 :)

[@rehanahmed946]

"The Mr. Pollack"

[@evanmisejka4062]

My band director is like the sarcastic type and always sounds under enthusiastic.

[@phantasian1592]

When your band director literally gets nominated for a Grammy and is such a good musician and educator he resembles no one on this list

[@DanielsProductions]

The Mr. Pollack

[@camthesaxman3387]

I had a #4 band director in high school. The jokes were funny the first time, but he would do that every single day that it got annoying.

[@ButteryAftertaste]

#5 is alternately titled "Every Jazz Festival Clinician".

[@DavePollack]

Hah!

[@macemaster5295]

Actuly so true

[@BernellJonesII]

facts!!!

[@ziruini5071]

..yeah lmao

[@jadmusic5064]

I've never read a truer statement

[@XxSaxCannon921xX]

lmaoooo count off carl! a 1, a *3* The emphasis on *3* was pure gold 😂

[@robertp2934]

@KSjazz same here!!!

[@thatkuchguy]

Wow the Kenny G scale is really engraved on your board. Lucky man

[@DavePollack]

I'm so glad someone noticed it!!

[@aidancardona8592]

You forgot the teacher who calls out flat or sharp when one person isn’t in tune lol but I laughed at the parrot one😂

[@DavePollack]

Oh there will be a part 2!!

[@aidancardona8592]

Dave Pollack Cool I can’t wait now!!

[@tylera86]

Mr Chill, aka “Every college drumline tech/ga.” You know, the ones who studied abroad earning a certificate in Tabla? Also marched the Bluecoats.

[@owenwalter451]

Number 7 is my band director who claims they used to play gigs all the time.

[@LuisPabloGasparotto]

Dave, you made me laugh a lot! This video is great! Behind the great saxophone player you are, there's a guy which is extremely talented for finding stereotypes and representing them, this means you're a great observant and actor. I enjoyed this video a lot as I did with "10 types of saxophone soloist" series and the "Grammy Band audition 2018". I don't understand why you still don't have your own show (TV, Netflix, Amazon Prime or whatever). Keep doing these videos!

[@DavePollack]

Haha, so glad you liked it!! I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon!

[@BourdeoixEterno]

Haha the performer one is my jazz director for sure! These teachers always have chops and are humble lol

[@Kridesaxguy]

I was helping a jazz band where the BD never rehearsed anything. It was start to finish, on to the next part. I got them in an hour to play 8 bars with a feel like a very good band. The kids loved it. Its so much more important to teach to play rather than teach to get through a concert months later. Just my 2 cents

[@SomeGuyOnSax]

"You'll learn that... Never" I laughed so hard at that. 6 and 10 bring me back to high school.

[@DavePollack]

Glad you liked it!

[@travisfreshner160]

I once team taught with Mr. Chill. It was the most excruciating year of my teaching career.

[@karlschroeder1207]

Thank you for the additional DAD jokes, I hadn't heard them before and can't wait to drop them on my boys! Your videos crack me up, Dave. I enjoy your performances, too.

[@DavePollack]

Thanks so much!! I have TONS of dad jokes.

[@karlschroeder1207]

@@DavePollack Yeah, I do too...much to my kids' dismay!

[@robertp2934]

Count off Carl was hilarious Dave!!! I love this stuff you think up. Mr Chill gets a nod too. These were priceless keep on keepin’ on brother

[@DavePollack]

Thank you!!

[@rootbeer635]

Omg #5 was my life when my band director went on maternity leave. Our sub was a jazz player and they didn’t know how to conduct so I just had to play jazz music for like 2 months, as a tuba player haha.

[@alanhirayama4592]

I remember going to observe a band class and one teacher was beating his music stand with a drum stick while conducting his band...saw lots of examples of what NOT to do...!

[@dfagen1]

#11 (aka me) - "OK let's run that one more time...last time...promise..."

[@DavePollack]

Oh man me too!

[@Elmieeuw]

One more time.

[@joerumler48]

I had a jazz band director who stood in front of the band directing practically every note..... Another one would wave his arms so much I'd swear he would fly away, he even directed the last note....

[@DavePollack]

Haha!! I’ve seen that way too much at jazz festivals.

[@nicholasc.1024]

Glad my band director would start our jazz band and then walk off stage and talk to other band directors while we were playing.

[@woomy8971]

lol, my orchestra director was definitely a bit of #6 with the extremely extended snapping before we played anything

[@DavePollack]

Ah, good ol' count off Carl.

[@dustinpace8446]

This is a work of art 😂

[@jonathansaxophone7873]

I Love this Series

[@randimator9881]

I bet dave is a mix of all of these

[@jazzman_10]

How about the teacher that tells you to play something and halts you every two notes? By the end of the class you have not played one single lick. And how about sending tons of homework and not remembering he did next day? One more, how about the one that does not prepare his lessons and just improvises something on the go that has no continuity with what he taught yesterday? Yeah, that is why I ended up teaching myself through internet... Not the best option but still improving and enjoying it!

[@joerumler48]

JLCO... A player counts off and band plays.. no one in front shaking their rear end.. refreshing.

[@DavePollack]

Well yea...I'm talking about public elementary/middle/high schools for this video, hahah

[@starhawk1239]

10 types of private teacher next?👀😳

[@drewmartin3797]

Nahh those puns were actually funny tho 😂😂 idk if that’s just because I’m a dad jokes enthusiast or not it’s quite my FORTE

[@DavePollack]

You're REEDING too much into them. (it's because you love dad jokes and therefore are a scholarly person, much like myself)

[@christophercalabrese9257]

My first week of student teaching I was hardcore #9 😂

[@blackitachi6935]

The Performer is just giving those kids something to aspire to... ungrateful little girl

[@DavePollack]

Hahahahaaaa

[@theblackbasketball]

Lmao my BD hears the bell ring, but she won’t let us out until we finish the song. This is why the band kids in my school are always late.

[@cracksologic81]

Dude my band director is literally number 3 XD

[@katekat4522]

my middle school director is definitely the best friend. Let me tell you, we don't learn ANYTHING in that class.

[@charlieparker4928]

If I was a band director how would I teach?

[@bebopshulang]

You would teach high

[@TWO20]

13 hours of band a day

[@macemaster5295]

Dude whiplash is such a good movie I assume that is what you were going for on dr. whiplash right? I dont know which one was my band dirrectors honestly my middle scholl one was "again!" just basicaly picky and I liked it, then highschool was something I cant explain he was very unoragnized but could expalin things very well and challenged us.

[@logan_animations_vr]

#8 my band director is more chill mixed with #4 because he sometimes tells jokes

[@jonathansaxophone7873]

Dave, I have an question to you. I played now over 3 years on a yamaha Student saxophon and I wan't to buy a advanced saxophon do you have some Tipps for me? Mr. Saxophon

[@emlita580]

Mr. pollack is all combined

[@abbydiamond9850]

number 4 😀

[@DavePollack]

Hey, I’m self-aware.

[@anthonygiordano792]

I’ve had a #7 teacher try to tell an elementary school kid that he’s bad at the clarinet...

[@DavePollack]

Oh jeez

[@ericw1369]

So you have not taught your band class a note and a week has gone by? 🤣

[@parkerpolen]

COUNT OFF CARL HAHA

[@jaime4231]

Unfortunately it was people like Dr.Whiplash. He was a overqualified band director, his name is Corey Curtis. He is in the FBA Bandmasters association here in South Florida. In the 8th grade much of our band had left, he was too mean and strict always yelled at people. He was always too angry to listen. One time he made a kid cry, said kid did not come back for band the next year. It was moments like these that made me angry and frustrated, which made me lose interest in band. I wonder where I would have been if I didn't have a Dr.Whiplash.

[@shealinbanta4169]

I would be #2 the best friend if I became a band director

[@vi.krasil]

Very good 🌸

[@DavePollack]

Thanks!

[@theoparlin8068]

My director is #6

[@DanielsProductions]

Dr. Whiplash tho

[@saxophonist6945]

My band director is moving onto another school I hope I don’t have a sucky band director or a lame one just trying to keep my head up and hope I guess.

[@patg8107]

Lol @ #7

[@benyacyshyn7252]

I’m definitely number 10

[@DavePollack]

TEACH HOW TO READ RHYTHMS

[@benyacyshyn7252]

Dave Pollack ok

[@Triceijt]
