HIGH SCHOOL BAND BE LIKE

Nearly three years, countless hours of begging, and two million views later, we finally released a band video. You're welcome.
P.S. Still didn't have any percussionists available to be in the video. Don't murder us.

Why don’t band rooms come with a spit sink? Just like, a sink that you empty your spit valve into and then wash the spit down so that the carpeted floor doesn’t literally become a breeding ground for new and more deadly viruses.

[@TheLemonKiller]

Having been in band all four years in High-school back in 2007-2011 with a class composed of jocks, stoners, gangster kids, scene and emo kids, metalheads, all different types minus preps. We had one dude that was the super band geek and everyone else was fairly normal. Basically our band didn't look anything resembling the niche band geek type at all in anyway whatsoever. It wasn't until we went off to the school band meet up where you saw the other high-school bands and watch them perform. You then would rate and say what you had to say about the instrument you played in regards to how they performed and such. Or when every now and then a high-school would venture over to ours and we'd perform a concert together. Within these instances we'd see the bands that actually looked like band geeks. The whole stereotyped look and nerdyness. I mean, it wasn't just the band either. Talking to people from other schools about how they're school is was super weird. Our school was way different in the aspect where everyone pretty much interacted with everyone. Sure, you had your groups and such. But nothing like cliques and so forth like what was always depicted. Which apparently wasn't entirely true for others schools. Overall it was a pretty unique experience especially when comparing it to others and so forth. If say the best part about band is that when it came to finals our final was performing the concert. So the day of finals I'd bring in rock band and everyone would play that. We had two tvs so it'd either be RockBand people played or Smash Bros or Mortal Combat or whatever else there happened to be. But Rockband was always the big one. But all in all. Didn't relate to any of these honestly.

I totally get the tuba player emptying his spit valve because, no joke, when I would empty mine it would drain for literally 30 seconds at least which doesn’t sound long but to people who don’t know and to empty spit out such a small place that’s quite long. Literally after a whole day of playing I’d be flooded and it got so bad that my band director asked me to bring a large towel and empty my valve over that. It was so crazy. It’s been 3 1/2 almost 4 years since I’ve played and low key kinda miss it. Caring your band because once you graduate and you don’t get to play you may think you can’t wait to graduate and not play anymore but yet you could drop out of band but they don’t and then after graduation it hits you I’m not in the band anymore and that’s when you start missing it.

OML YESSSS

[@goblinganger6754]

I’m going into high school band next year and my band director is making us do passoffs to prepare us.

[@Joe___schmoe]

I have waited a long time and I have finally watched it

[@entertainmentartsandgames4928]

My jazz band/ advanced Trumpets- Obnoxious and loud, out of seven only one trumpet is good. Blasts when they mess up. Always has something to say. Honestly pretty funny. The comic relief. Gets all the good parts. Saxophones- Gets most of the attention. The "chill" kids. Always get solos. All boys? Plays meme music (oof). Can't swing 16th notes (it's not that hard!) *Bari* Can't hold out a low note. *Soprano* Puts case in the wrong spot. Plays trumpet music even though they have their own music. Clarinets- Believe that they are the smartest instruments. Can play high notes AND low notes, but a with a bad reed, can't play any notes. Make fun of the flutes. Always asking eachother for a reed. Plays trumpet parts because trumpets get the good parts. *Bass Clarinets* Only play quarter notes and 8th notes but always get the rhythm wrong. Trombones- Constantly playing seven nation army. Can't get the slide position right. Percussion- Always hitting people with drumsticks. Triangle solo? SLOW DOWN! NOT SO LOUD! Are you sure we don't need cowbell in this part? *Drum set* Too many fills. Flutes- Annoying. Always blowing through their instruments while the director is talking. Did I forget any? Probably. I'll edit later.

[@Two-zj3rd]

To add to the percussion one: Extremely loud. Either has to play in every measure or about 4 out of 400.

[@battleship217]

You forgot the Euphonium horn and tuba

[@trinity9917]

im a sax and i wish i got attention omgg

[@kayavrse]

Becca Reynoso *cOuGh* also I’m a first year sax and hhhh it’s not all boys I’m the only girl rip

[@haliegault4288]

More accurate flute - are the only ones that get it right considering the band director feels potty on you so takes you after class to help, play higher notes than anyone else highest note (on c flutes) starting on the bar take 2 cs up and there ya go

[@camden5058]

100% Correct. Yes. Totally. *I HAVE BAND!.........*

[@ghostofyouandme]

*Gently puts instrument on the ground of anger*

[@ivyart3737]

I LOVE BAND! i'm so excited to be in a high school band next year

[@isetta4083]

*GET. OFF. THE GROUND.*

[@benjaminnguyen3586]

Boi I just cleaned that Tuba room

[@cinefuze]

Don't worry, I'm home now, so there's absolutely no more trash in there! :)

[@AnnikaJoy]

The end sums it up so perfectly ngl

[@MuntaseerIbnAzkar]

I have just watched the middle school version before this one...man seeing them grow up feels so wholesome

[@willsavage4429]

Tuba kid is all grown up now :D

[@BoogleBeats]

1:16 *gently sets down trumpet* *destroys everything else in room*

[@BJBanana69]

Can confirm, the average tuba does always have enough water to fill an Olympic swimming pool

[@rayyoung4899]

This video brought back great memories thanks for the laughs !

[@sanzof4623]

He still hasn't got that vibrato right

[@Yami-pu6it]

"Hey you want to queue up for some overwatch?" Sorry I have band practice after school and then 3 hours of AP US history homework. "Hey we're going to a jazz festival this weekend then going to the beach want to come?" Sorry I have a competition every Saturday this month. The struggle is real

[@coffecream9414]

Did anyone else only join band to get out of p.e? Is it just me?

[@straightmalecaucasian1453]

You do realise you are gonna need some P.E. credits to graduate right?

[@50kcal54]

Um I’m in band but I still got p.e lol 1 then 2nd period

[@MDeadcloud]

The part with the spit really got me. I'm a trombone player that switched from a peashooter to a 10.5 inch bass trombone, and the difference in spit production was large to say the least. One time, one of my fellow trombone players was paying attention when I emptied my spit valve and was like "WTF" when he saw how much came out.

[@johnglick9256]

4:06 did anyone else catch all star? cause i played all star a lot on mallets

[@Eminentharp]

my band had to play all star for a concert because it was trendy, like 2 years before we played it

[@KimNguyen-ps7gv]

Thanks for having me in it! Spit valve was definitely my favorite scene.

[@cinefuze]

Kim Nguyen Thanks Kim! Me too! 😂

[@no_enerji]

That “you always have band” really hits hard hit hard to the point even my friends had asked before if I even sleep

[@harryjayawardana7192]

how in the first bit ur band plays so beautifuly our school band is like one sound her and there

[@sagebauland4276]

I need to show this to every person I know not in band. Wait all my friends are in band. I need more variety in friends

[@MonarchMothProductions]

Tal The Dreamer Don’t go to the choir kids. They’re just as crazy.

[@kirkknight2926]

As a percussionist in orchestra, once you get to a couple thousand measures of rests, you start to lose track...

[@Two-zj3rd]

Kirk Knight I am a percussionist in regular band, also I am a marimba major (At our school they put you in majors i.e. drum major, mallet dajor, etc etc..) and most of the time, especially on instruments like the xylophone or vibraphone, I play 4 notes out of 400.

[@Andriale]

Classy Glassy yo dude nice to see another percussionist in these parts

[@5occergirl45]

When the flutes and trumpets complain about 8 measures of rest but you have 63

[@ShockzG5]

Relatable

[@jenosleftshoulder]

i watched this 2/3 years ago pls i just realized, still so accurate HAHHAAHA

[@allabouttheanimals9151]

Why is the emptying spit so true. I play the baritone and I open the thing and it’s freaking Niagara Falls

[@extracomfy7464]

*cries because this is too relateable*

[@KiwiTheWitchOfBlood]

I wasn't in band for a long time but I feel the majority of these on a SPIRITUAL LEVEL. - Also God that spit one is too relatable. Made me feel bad for dumping it all out on the wooden floor and causing the next great flood of saliva. - One time in class this show off was playing his trombone in our section and decided to tip his instrument up, and all the collected spit in the slide came out through his mouthpiece and sloshed onto his face/mouth. Honestly it was the best scene I ever saw in band! 😂👌

[@pohyeenlim9173]

Thanks for answering me why my senior always tell me to empty it when I reach the rest part..

[@elfthe_yes]

Ew I play trombone but ew

[@adamcolbertmusic]

🤮

[@amyc9137]

Going Into highschool and need to see these to be ready

[@livmoore5683]

Me trying to play my Eb scale and cant reach the high note: Yk what- I quit- I give up.

[@goldybays8654]

Where's all the percussion memes? *stahp HackInG DruMMeRs*

[@ArtsLocker]

I relate emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

[@flammyyyyy]

We're forgotten until one of us is chewing gum so the director makes everyone BUT the gum chewer do push ups. And when someone makes a crossbow out of a clothes hanger, stick tape, rubber bands, and pencils. And when cymbal polish gets on the stage curtains. And when they pin an Oreo to the wall. And when we've gone through two slapsticks this year so far playing sleigh ride, so the band director had to get out the one he made with his dad, and give it to the person who broke the other two to play. Things are pretty wild back in the percussion section.

[@lillithschmitt9704]

im a drummer lmao relatable

[@summarykarma5457]

No one gives a damn about percussion

[@goldybays8654]

One issue I face oddly enough is being confused between whether is percussion or precussion.

[@ambz418]

when you are drum major and have to be nice to the annoying marching band kid smh lol

[@GodronATX]

omfg the emptying the spit i literally had a habit of emptying my spit valve every time something sounded off

[@Linguineo]

2:11 yeah that Superman shirt guy is a showoff but the girl in the back with the pencil is a better showoff.

[@Linguineo]

Cool

[@elhsai]

1:36 happens to me every band concert

[@rosegold5720]

I KNOW! And I'm like, "Haha you must not have heard music before"

[@benxie4917]

I’m with ya! Like one time, I did a note before the actual song started. I died.. And then my brothers say, I LIKED YOUR SOLO! THAT ONE NOTE REALLY MADE IT! 😩😩😩😩😩😩

[@draalien]

@@benxie4917 HAHAHAH

[@Michael27463]

I’m basically the guy in the Beatles

[@OMGMyHypeBoyKeita]

STOPP bc that legit happened at our last concert 😭😭 some guy in symphonic band played before the song even started and everyone that night was talking about how they liked the trumpet solo 💀

[@delta3265]

OMG this is so my band, so incredibly accurate

[@radioactive_baby0706]

KMS Clarinetist 100% my band

[@leviphillips5998]

The one thing that is hilarious and will forever be to me, is when somebody knocks on the door and a tuba kid answers the door carrying a whole fricken TUBA. 😂

[@danielackermans4330]

As a former band kids at PRHS, I appreciate that this was filmed at CHHS! 💚💙

[@exerberus2316]

1:16 is relatable because one time after a steady thermos of coffee all day long before the band period as the end of the day acting as a diuretic ,i gently put my instrument down in the middle if playing warm ups amd booked it

[@connersigrist]

YOU DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT COUNTING RESTS IS UNLESS YOUR IN PERCUSSION!!!!! Wow I didn’t know this would get so many likes😁

[@cinefuze]

Connstar13 I play tuba, and there was one time I had to count for nearly 200 measures 😂 Then there’s of course those songs without tuba parts at all, but I guess there are songs with no percussion too.

[@kaitlyn2295]

+cinefuze Oh god, that's no fun

[@darkestlavender5650]

I play oboe. I was silent for 54 measures and then another 65, but the key changed.

[@thotumn2896]

Connstar13 playing bass trombone in an orchestra means playing 1 line and resting for the rest of the song

[@Ray-ij8ot]

Connstar13 yep

[@No..names_7]

This is why I’m in percussion bc I don’t gotta worry abt my spit and don’t need to press buttons to get the note right 😂

[@lemons1519]

We all didn't know it, but we all needed this
