Plastic stands are superior except with ours it's a gamble, as the plastic ones are the most likely to be sinkers so I always just play it safe and get a metal one 😂😂
8:50 was literally me when I had a state solo performance assessment in Highschool and legit realized I left my clarinet in the band room, 2 and a half hours away.
As a tuba player, the kid who never empties his valves is just a thing that happens to tubas because even when I empty my valves regularly there's just constantly water.
Yep, I remember when I was in high school band. There would be a growing puddle during concerts and we'd have to be careful how we got up when the performance was done.😂
Ok…as band kids (and orchestra kids I know you are in here) can we agree on two things. 1. All music is the hardest thing in the world if it is new. 2. We are all better than choir and musical theatre.

You forgot one. You know when the band director points to specific part in the music, and you see people lean in closer to see their music. It happens almost every time. Even though it's already right in front of them.

My school doesn't have those metal stands, well we do but we only use them in the bleachers in marching season We have these other ones that I can't really describe, but they're better and I don't think you can bend them
and theyre kinda right. my band teacher gave everyone a binder with a bunch of sheet protectors at the beginning on the year, none of my papers ever fall out.
That happened with a guy I like lol. He learned that sheet protectors work because before (or during idk I forgot) our concert, he dropped all of his papers. He uses plastic sheets now
I myself am a big person in a fairly small band room with a fairly small band, so I wouldn't have been able too anyway, but I did 2 year of trumpet and was in the process of learning trombone, so I knew the fingerings and could read bass cleff. and since we had a lot of newcomers I stood out as a good musician, so it really only sucks when you hear the bd talk to a specific person and have them play for like 5 minutes at least 3 times
I feel like every male band teacher is like going bald for some reason or just has a bald spot somewhere (10/14/13) Edit: Guys my band teacher is now officially bald 👍 now he’s a bald grandpa
I remember at the old school(they built a decked out new school last summer) all the stands were really old and bad and they squeaked badly. So there was this one stand that thing you could hear down the hallway it was loud and one of my band mates made it his pride possession and when the school got tared down he kept it 😂
I’m in my high schools marching band and my least favorite thing is when we’re rehearsing our halftime show in the parking lot and the wind blows and stuff falls out of my flip folder and I have to chase after it 😭😭😭😭
Am I the only one who pretends to check their valves (or keys for the woodwinds) whenever I make a mistake? At this point it’s a habit to pretend there is something wrong with my trumpet when I crack a note or play something wrong.
Can we agree that Saxophones and Trombones had a music fight to see who was the loudest in class when the teacher was gone or was that just my band class?
The "Roamer" is more like the kid that always touches the precession instruments for no reason, and is always like, can I play it? Us percussionists don't go up to them and ask to play their instruments
Must have perfect stand kid is definitely me. And the paper dropper. And the and the phone one. And the never empties valves one. And the nervous tester. And the annoying one.
ok so for that perfect stand kid i relate bc half of the stand in my school are just tilting in a random direction, so i gotta find one, flip it over, screw it in, and see if it works well.
We have a baritone second year who always has to drag over to the clarinet section to drag the best stand all the way back to his seat. While the baritone section has all of the French Horn stands 👍🏼
I started as a sax player so i could play “careless whisper” but i sat next to someone that was not helpful at all and sax wasn’t enjoyable so i joined flute but i couldn’t play so now i play trumpet.
Literally, the locker one lol. Thing is, at my school, they don't forget the combination, they forget HOW to do it, so I'm always the one to unlock their lockers for them 😭
I was the perfect stand kid. Granted I was also the show up 10 minutes early kid that you didn't mention, so I always found my perfect stand. It was middle school band so we shared the room with orchestra, just different times. Some Cello player always took my stand. I mean, do you know how hard it is to balance three reeds in a triangle on a bent stand?
We have this Christmas tradition in band called the white elephant and if you don’t know what that is it’s where everyone brings a gift then we go around taking what gift we want but the rule is you can only spend 5 dollars or less and it has to look expensive but really could be a penny even. So 7 years ago someone brought a brick for it and every year the brick is regifted that thing has been roaming the highschool for forever 😂
Whenever we went to state competitions or even just had a show in front of school board members, the band teacher would have us use the oldest stands and instruments, in attempt to request funding lol I always had to tape my corks and pads everytime cuz they were so old lol anyway I don't know if it worked or not
In my percussion section i think that only half of us actually have our own sticks and mallets There r only like 3-4/6 people that actually use our own sticks/mallets
why do yall have lockers and separate rooms? in my school's band room we have shelves all along the room. if anyone wants to practice they do it in the main room with everyone else playing at the same time
Where I live we just got a new school built so it’s really modern and nice buuuuut the stands yes they are nice stands but they fricken hate me!! I’ll be playing then all of a sudden my musics like peace out I have litterally had to tape or prop my music up with my phone or a calculator to get it to stay 😂
Worse than when your dropping papers…clarinet you may relate to this or I’m just stupid but when you think you have shut your case and you stand up and you didn’t shut your case and BOOM there goes all your joint and reeds and whatever secrets you are hiding in that little shell of your soul

Who is Curtis
At my school, we have plastic stands and metal stands, so our director makes us battle for the superior plastic ones
Yesssss the plastic ones are so much easier to position! 😏👍
plastic stands? Disgusting
same
Plastic stands are superior except with ours it's a gamble, as the plastic ones are the most likely to be sinkers so I always just play it safe and get a metal one 😂😂
As someone who uses a magnetic soaking cup I have to go with metal stands on this- plus they dont break

Same with the French horn. I always empty *every* spot and I still am in the ocean.
@@NellieIsBrocken Yup, we probably have the worst instruments for that sort of thing lol
I recently found and started playing french horn, and I swear it magically generates water out of thin air.

I’ve been one of those nervous students playing a test ever since I was in middle school. It’s so bull crap for people like me.
do all schools have the same music stands cause mine does
Arya G i have the same stands too
I do too but mine are black gold and red and some blue
Pretty much
Bro... they’re music stands
My school doesn't have those metal stands, well we do but we only use them in the bleachers in marching season
We have these other ones that I can't really describe, but they're better and I don't think you can bend them
"THE PAPER DROPPER"
When this happens, my band teacher's like "it's gonna keep happening if you don't get sheet protecters in your binder!"
and theyre kinda right. my band teacher gave everyone a binder with a bunch of sheet protectors at the beginning on the year, none of my papers ever fall out.
That happened with a guy I like lol. He learned that sheet protectors work because before (or during idk I forgot) our concert, he dropped all of his papers. He uses plastic sheets now
me drops my boyfriends sheet music on ground on purpose :) don't worry its always while its in its folder.
intro is beautiful. just beautiful
Lol
Every saxophone player remembers the first time they put a reed in their mouth and got disgusted because of the taste
For me as a clarinet, it just tastes like a popsicle stick when I chew on one.
@@null8507 now that I think ab it, it kinda does for sax too lol
It kinda tastes like different depending on the age of it, new ones taste the most like wood and older ones lose the taste
Yeah
Never bothered me.
my band only has 17 members this year, I'm the only tuba, so there's no excuses for any of these XD
glad to know I'm not the only one
I know how you feel. I’m the only oboe player in our band
That must suck, you can’t really hide as a tuba you are too big : (
I myself am a big person in a fairly small band room with a fairly small band, so I wouldn't have been able too anyway, but I did 2 year of trumpet and was in the process of learning trombone, so I knew the fingerings and could read bass cleff. and since we had a lot of newcomers I stood out as a good musician, so it really only sucks when you hear the bd talk to a specific person and have them play for like 5 minutes at least 3 times
I’m euphonium lol
Ok I know that this is supposed to be for fun but has anyone really been nervous to play the B♭major scale?
i just get scared in general bc i think imma mess up or be really bad at it 😅
I never memorized scales on any instrument I play so half the time I just print them out and put them on my stand and nobody notices
No
@@matthewhayes9009 same 😂
Im just really bad at it
I'm in Orchestra, but I'm the perfect stand kid, it gets me so mad when a stand is bent or squeaks or doesn't stay up properly
I'm 43, and been playing in the same Community Band since 2001! I still search for that perfect stand!
Same
I only care if it's not wobbly
I feel like every male band teacher is like going bald for some reason or just has a bald spot somewhere
(10/14/13) Edit: Guys my band teacher is now officially bald 👍 now he’s a bald grandpa
Not mine.
Yesss for real
Why are you in my head?
Not mine, he’s short, obese and has a huge beard and a flat top and wears glasses
@@hoodlum6776 😭
Don't forget that one saxophonist that can only play careless whisper
That kid wasn't in my high school, and most the good players went for actual jazz, so I never even heard kids play it.

The altos could never have won. I didn’t let it happen.
@@kimmel636 do you play trombone? If so I do!
@@3vr621 I do indeed play trombone. Do you play tenor?
@@kimmel636 indeed!
As a sax player myself, trombones may technically be louder, but saxes can sound louder because of the timbre in which we play!

The physical definition of me trying not to overthink my life👌🏻
It’s so funny that like every school band has the same chairs and stands. 😂
you know he nervous with that scale when he uses the third valve by its self
You forgot that kit who plays the trumpet and blasts it in people's ears.
*kid
Love the Minnesota hoodie!
the playing tests are a big nightmare
I'm guilty of being the perfect stand kid, but in the way that I'm always repositioning my stand.

#flutesarebetter

ok so for that perfect stand kid i relate bc half of the stand in my school are just tilting in a random direction, so i gotta find one, flip it over, screw it in, and see if it works well.
What i expect from a stand is to be able to clip a triangle on to it and still be able to but music on it without it falling and to not wobble a lot
Your band room(s) is NICE
the first stereo is absolutly true happened to me like everyday in concert season
I definitely lived up to a few of these.
The paper dropper is literally that one area in the band/orchestra room by the exit door near the office.
Great video bro, tuba is lit
We have a baritone second year who always has to drag over to the clarinet section to drag the best stand all the way back to his seat. While the baritone section has all of the French Horn stands 👍🏼
That intro is fire
That’s what this kid we call Alex does with his orchestra music in our practices he drops it everywhere.
finally, someone who finally understands the true tuba form... a sized-up baritone.
no seriously thats actually the kind of tuba i play
The fact they blow the brass instruments like in a movie, that is my band teacher’s worst fear.
I started as a sax player so i could play “careless whisper” but i sat next to someone that was not helpful at all and sax wasn’t enjoyable so i joined flute but i couldn’t play so now i play trumpet.
Literally, the locker one lol. Thing is, at my school, they don't forget the combination, they forget HOW to do it, so I'm always the one to unlock their lockers for them 😭
This is so accurate
This totally reminds me of everything people did in middle school
Is my band the only one with EVERYONE always saying their instrument was the best one?
For me band was in the 7th period in middle school, i was the first one there, always.
okay but I was always the one who *needed* the perfect stand because all of the 5th period band would write on them and make them all wobbley smh
the first one is my biggest pet peeve with band kids
1:34 of course there's that one kid that plays jaws
How do you bring the case but not the instrument? Surely you would feel how light the case is
I was the perfect stand kid. Granted I was also the show up 10 minutes early kid that you didn't mention, so I always found my perfect stand. It was middle school band so we shared the room with orchestra, just different times. Some Cello player always took my stand. I mean, do you know how hard it is to balance three reeds in a triangle on a bent stand?
Bruh I’m a trombone in 8th grade band and these stereotypes are spot on
the nervous tester is literally me lol
second one is literally the eurphorioms (forget the spelling)
they always forget their combination
Euphonium? I play that!

Ah yes, Curtis's tittles.
Whenever we went to state competitions or even just had a show in front of school board members, the band teacher would have us use the oldest stands and instruments, in attempt to request funding lol I always had to tape my corks and pads everytime cuz they were so old lol anyway I don't know if it worked or not
Man they really be putting their Instruments in the County Jail 💀
That's a nice tuba
Somehow my school has the best music stands in the world 🤣
Yeah, mine were in pretty good condition overall. We had a few outliers, but they were fixable.
I'm in band and looks like we have the same folder
I see the band director is a fellow Minnesotan!
I’m the perfect stand guy, we have used stands from other schools so they usually suck.
Omg I'm crying! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
In my percussion section i think that only half of us actually have our own sticks and mallets
There r only like 3-4/6 people that actually use our own sticks/mallets
I never was a Band Kid...but i love the trombone and oboe. This Vid goes to show their still Dorks!
This is too true
I would show this to my son, but he plays the tuba and it would give him too many ideas! 😳
Even though that's not a tuba but ok
@@ACagedBird364 its either a tuba or a really big euphonium, probably tuba
Same animal. You get the idea. I play the trumpet so I'm not up on the differences between all the low brass.
Also I saw a whole bassoon fight it was epic
We always have that one person that has a broken instrument. And we all know that one percussionist.
no its always that 1 percussionist that never shows up
@@quartzdrawinghq7968 percussion is late as usual
One euphonium player today dropped his instrument on the floor and broke it…..
the intro was good
a lot of the stands at my school are so rusted some of them cant even hold up
Does your school just have a tiny budget for the music department? It kind of sounds like it.
why do yall have lockers and separate rooms? in my school's band room we have shelves all along the room. if anyone wants to practice they do it in the main room with everyone else playing at the same time
What size tuba is I know it not full size but can’t tell if if it’s 3/4 or 2/4
What the, personal lockers for instruments?? Now this is a first
yo is it just a law of the universe that there is always a Curtis in every band program
0:51
Tuba players: we don’t have such weakness
2:06 why is it always the tubas that roam around and mess with percussion equipment?
that girl at 4:41 sums up a band kid at my school perfectly
