Just a reminder: Your bad days only hold as much weight as your good days. By the same token, your good days hold just as much weight as your bad days. Neither one defines you as more or less of a musician. The fact that you had a bad day does NOT make you a bad musician.
Most guys would be happy just to spank four girls at once. This guy does it with style.

Let’s all appreciate my orchestra teacher playing the recorder in class while one of our cellists does a stupid dance
I joined pep band this year and to pass time we made what I like to call a “franken-trumpet”
Do you know how long it takes to wrap a tuba in wrapping paper?
Too fucking long.

Taíno rattle (900 – 1550, Dominican Republic).
Made of wood and shaped like a rodent, this rattle is 31.8 x 7.6 x 7.6 cm. It is one of the few surviving instruments of the Taíno people, and may have been used for ceremonial purposes. There are four large wooden pellets within its chamber.

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.
Another story!
Today was skit night part two and the clarinets decided to do a skit that was an advertisement for band camp and they went “But band camp is fun right? *insert name* why don’t you tell us some jokes?”
*Insert name* immediately goes “Um the drumline’s tempo, thinking you can walk past the guard without getting hit, BD saying one more rep, hydration”
The entire band was howling
Bonus: during the low brass skit this was one of the lines
“Look! Its a rare instance of a mating call between the low brass!”
“I HAVE A HEAVY INSTRUMENT”
*everyone in low brass flocks to that person as the entire band chokes on their water*
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.

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.
One year during a band potluck some kid said that our majorette at the time seemed like the kind of person to put her fingers a little bit in her mouth when she eats chips and like a minute later she came into the garage where we were sitting and did just that
Today during band our band director said “start at measure 69,” and of course, us being mature high schoolers, we giggled and she told us about the time she was student teaching and the director got fed up with the students being immature and said that they could only laugh if they have actually done it and in response on percussion kid started cackling and the band director decided that that was so much worse than everyone giggling.
During one of our games I watched one of the drumline guys gently set down his hot cocoa before violently chest bumping another drumline guy.
