"Trumpet Players Are Just Frustrated Percussionists."

Heyyy marching band season for me is going to be over by halloween, so any tips of not having an emotional breakdown because I probably won't see my senior friends in person ever again?

Oh yeah theres lots of sadness involved. If you guys have an alumni night then maybe you'll get to see then again?? And if not I guess hug them and then cry. At least theres still the rest of the year :)

happy hell week everyone :)

Our trumpet section isnt nearly that close, but damn, I wish it was. But either way. Fight me, I dare you.

Who You Should Fight: Marching Band Edition

piccolo

who wins: them

don’t do it.  don’t fight the piccolo player.  just don’t.

flute

who wins: them

they were told you were challenging them for first chair. run while you still can.

clarinet

who wins: them

threaten you with their register key.  forfeit for the sake of all.

saxophone

who wins: them

you are promptly deemed a “nerd” and stuffed in a band locker by the entire section even though you only wanted to fight one of them.

low reeds

who wins: no one

 you yell increasingly bad sexual innuendos at each other across the band room for twenty minutes until you both get tired and go home.

mellophone

who wins: them

punches you in the face repeatedly on the offbeats of a sousa march playing in the background.

trumpet

who wins: you and then them

you win the fight easily while they’re giving their villainous monologue.  entire trumpet section later jumps you in a dark hallway for disgracing one of their own.

trombone

who wins: no one

they get distracted halfway through the fight and wander off.

low brass

who wins: them

you mock them by making farting noises with your lips.  they punch you in the stomach with their abnormally strong arms.  you can’t breath properly for days.

pit percussion

who wins: you

pretend like you can’t tell the vibes, marimba, and xylophone apart.  wait until they’re blind with rage, then run them over with the closest wheeled pit equipment.

drumline

who wins: them

show up to the fight with a shank fashioned out of a broken drum stick.  proceed to kick ass.

drum major

who wins: them

calls you to attention (you can’t disobey!) and then waits until you faint from exhaustion.

color guard

who wins: them

have you ever watched one of these fuckers on the field?  you’re screwed.

band director

who wins: them

just when you think you’ve won, they get up smiling and say “one more time!”

@ our rival school (yes, we could hear you we didnt need that, thanks)

today’s question of the day, “Why on earth would you boo a marching band”, brought to you by college football

also “Why on earth would you threaten members of a marching band”

Serious question. What is the best instrument?

If I ever go deaf, I just want everyone to know that it was the group of 3 trumpets who sit behind me and blast into my ears to annoy me. Thank you.

After years of being told off for my instrument choice because "trumpet is the easiest instrument" and "I can play taps trumpet is super easy" and even "I played some notes as a boy scout it was very easy"

I have come to a standpoint.

Yes, trumpet is easy to play, but trumpet is very hard to be good at.

Thank you I am tired of clarinets saying I'm useless

Edit: Tumblr clarinets are v chill ily the clarinets in my class sucK

Wow this blew up. Yes if you can play picc you are automatically a triple witch.

@gilberthonda I'm the only trumpet in my band that cant double tongue lmao I've tried so many times

@the-glitter-acetylcholine well that's something I guess????

guys how do woodwind instruments work

like ive tried reeds and they sometimes work?? but they mostly squeak???

also flute is just impossible ive come to the conclusion all flutes are witches.

props woodwinds you're all crazy ily
