[@alarmlessRifleman]

Bassoons are so damn awesome. My pal from high school, Raymond, used to play one. It was so damn *loud* but fun to listen to. And hey, have anyone else tried to use a bassoon case to sneak beer to somewhere? He did. He somehow managed to fit the bottles inside so neatly that they didn't even clink. Holy shit I miss that geezer.

Good idea 😂 I need to try this with my bassoon

FELLOW OBOIST SPOTTED

[@thebandit4490]

I love playing the oboe. It's always annoying when the other oboist in my band doesn't listen to the people around him and is wayyyyyyyy sharp/flat. I think that's just a him thing though.

[@MountainPieEnjoyer]

As a percussionist, this is the most accurate thing to be said. (because the the instruments make different noises and you can do harder rhythms then the rest of the band who could resist?)

[@The_Best_Primarch]

As a trombone, I can confirm that we only get called on or get any sort of recognition when we mess up

As a flute player, I can confirm that the band director has had to work with us every class.

[@SomeDeliciousSoda]

As a percussionist, I can confirm that I made super dry and unoriginal jokes while he is teaching the class.

[@BrodyTooSilly]

that is so fr; our flute section at my school isn't the greatest, and we constantly have to tune and it's like super frustrating since I'm like the only one who knows how to tune and can tell when i'm sharp or flat* *curb your perfect pitch

[@agirlinthisworld_11]

As a flute i can confirm that Ab to A is the bane of my existence

[@Lin_Divine]

I’m a flute player and our band director is always after the trumpets and saxes and us flutes have to sit there and wait for them to learn how to not be loud and for us to be heard. a flat and a natural are easy.

As a flute, I can not confirm that we take the longest to deal with. In fact, most of the time the saxophones and clarinets do in my class. (There are only two flutes)

Hey trombones, I think you are cool the way you are and you don't need to change. Greetings, a Trumpet

[@WD_GX]

i guess this video should be titled "school band (wind instrument) slander" like u talked about only wind instruments (except for the percussion), but i guess nvm cuz there's about no prob with string players so i'll let it pass

[@Greyfather991]

Our school has a band and an orchestra. The band has percussion and wind instruments. Strings are only in the orchestra.

[@WD_GX]

@@Greyfather991 now i understand, it is a lil bit rare to find string players in a school band so i guess it's my fault hehe, i guess don't mind me

[@Hamburber-rr8mk]

In my band, we actually played a song where the trombones and low instruments were melody. But they had to cut it down from 7 trombones to 3 since they kept blasting when it said pianissimo. 💀

[@not_estains]

This is possibly the most accurate one i've seen

[@Sam_Burger]

The teacher helping the trumpets with 2 measures of our song, taking up more than half of the time in our jazz band:

[@hericide1]

flutes when the band director finally addresses them for .1 seconds after working with trumpets the whole time*

[@Greyfather991]

Both trumpets and flutes, how about that?

[@BridgetQuinnlee-l8m]

As a saxophonist, every new piece we get we play the game of 'which key signature is this and how does it change the notes that we play?'t This was acurate

[@iancesimp2514]

My band teacher gave us a song and went pretty much "I know we have so many flute players, but can you guys please tone it down? You're not the main characters-" And I just went "I WILL NOT YIELD" So, in parts where the flutes were supposed to be quiet, you just heard the slightly-louder-than-everyone-else's rage of my own flute who I called Screecher.
