Clarinet: What gets covered in dirt but always stays clean?
Bassoon: A body in a coffin.

Clarinet:Soap.
definitely 100% great advice:
if you ever play a wrong note during concert season, just tell your director you wanted it to be a little jazzy
Alright band kids, signal boost this one.

Do you know how long it takes to wrap a tuba in wrapping paper?
Too fucking long.

Too. Fucking. Long.
So band camp was last week, I would like you guys to meet box boy
Tuba stand tunes 2k19 lets gooo
I’m gonna be one horrible ass section leader lmao
God I love band life so much
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.
We went to a corn maze and we’re assigned groups that only explained when we were allowed to get s’mores. Our group decided to stick together through the maze, so if you were in the corn maze that night there was a high chance you would walk past a group of 15ish high school band kids being led by a kid with a minecraft torch and chanting constantly.

My friend fist bumped one of the sophomores in his section and said that his knuckles were really soft and the kid said “my one wish would be for you to stop talking about how soft my hands are” and my friend responded “you have a problem with that but not me explaining inflation fetishes to you during class? Okay.”

The other day we played kahoot at the end of symphonic band. We chose a random quiz on pop music and well known artists and it was hell. One of the answers in the game was straight up wrong and we were rioting. 42 band kids playing kahoot over zoom is scary.
Not sure if or when we’re being fitted for concert uniforms, as we have no concerts planned until further notice, but assuming it will happen welcome to the third annual “what shit am I gonna go thru with the transphobic uniform mom in order to wear then men’s uniform.” This year will definitely be eventful since, unlike past years, my hair is now down to my shoulders. I feel like just to spite her I should wear heavy makeup and a push up bra with my tux when we have a concert. I live to piss that woman off. Suck my tranny toes.
In honor of trans day of visibility:
During our first contest my friend’s opening set was near the drumline and he heard them chanting this as they counted off and yea there’s definitely a reason we won best percussion TWICE this season because they really are great. In more ways than one.
DURING OUR LAST GAME THIS SEASON I GOT TO WITNESS THEM DO IT. FUNK YEA TRANS RIGHTS.
No audio, unfortunately, but here’s a clip from us practicing in class yesterday, day of our holiday concert. Take a wild guess what song it was.

Shoutout to the Arab girl in a sea of white band kids who says “here” during bus attendance whenever the chaperones pause.
Welcome to my clarinet section. Here we have:
- the late bloomer emo section leader that brings random produce to potlucks (me)
- the gay pothead that doesn’t want to be here but was in band for 8 years and cried at senior night
- the other section leader that can be mistaken for a freshman and joined the day of kickoff night as a freshman despite never playing an instrument
- the tall dude with broken hips who manages to be louder than everyone
- the antisocial kid who may or may not have had a hit list in middle school but he’s gotten better and is not homophobic, just closeted
- the trans guy who gaslit everyone into thinking he was always male and is also allergic to everything but eats the thing she shouldn’t have anyways
- the clone of an alumni that I forget is younger than me
- the twin who I thought was just in two sections and never mentioned it who is apparently very loud but I’ve never heard him speak
- salad boy who materializes next to people randomly and has almost been killed by me by accident on a few times due to his peanut allergy
- sheltered girl who’s the embodiment of 2014 tumblr but in an innocent way
- tall awkward guy with the same exact first and last name as a senior
Honorable mentions:
- the flamboyant ginger closeted MCR fan who is now drum major and brought lettuce to 2 games this year
- my ex girlfriend who joined colorguard and has definitely forgotten how to play clarinet by now
- the girl who never showed up, quit, and posted about how much she missed band on Snapchat
- the 4’10 girl that was supposed to be our section leader and then disappeared
One of the saxes was giving out info about his potluck for this Friday and you can imagine how 130 high schoolers reacted when he revealed that it’s being catered by BJs
For our tradition of harassing new members awake in the early hours of band camp day one, my section decided to recruit a 2021 graduate that hasn’t been in the clarinet section since their freshman year to help terrorize. They decided that a great addition to our props and decorations would be an encased crawfish named “Screaming Craig.” There are no words to describe the fear I felt looking in my rear view mirror and seeing them driving behind me holding Screaming Craig out the sunroof of their car.
Out of nowhere one of our junior clarinets said that a senior clarinet is a cuck. No explanation, no reasoning. Simply wanted to say so.
After each day of band camp we meet at a place and hang out. First day was Buffalo Wild Wings, to which another senior in my section stated he would not be attending because he is “scared of that establishment.” He did not elaborate and still hasn’t. What did he do.
Nothing says good morning happy first day of band camp like rolling into the school parking lot blasting a 10 hour loop of penis music
Our tradition is to show up at the ass crack of dawn to each new member of our section’s house and surprise them before handing them a costume and making them wear it throughout the first day of band camp. Front ensemble decided that shirts that say “I ❤️ MILFs and DILFs” was the way to go.
Our visual instructor decided that of all words he could use to describe how he wanted us to move, “explode with release,” was somehow a good choice. Kyle we are high schoolers you know exactly what we were thinking.
My sophomore year there were plenty of theories on the relations of our then percussion instructor, student teacher, and visual instructor. The “do you think they’ve explored each other’s bodies?” me gave me a great opportunity and behold, the stars aligned and I was able to find a picture of the three of them together within minutes.
