I will tell you that the bass clarinet does exist, it’s me, and my band director always talks about me, by myself, overpower the ten kids in the brass section.
In our band, there are 2 tenor saxes who are dating, I'll call them A and B. A plays tenor and bass clarinet while B only plays tenor. During one of our practices, A didn't tongue something right in a song and our bd cut us off, looked B in the eye and said, teach your boyfriend how to tongue.
I’m a trumpet and i play the loudest and when I messed up my band director looked at me and went do it right the next time. I did then I got dizzy after he made us play for an hour and a half no breaks and I was talking to him about it and he went; You can stop if you see stars or things change colors
0:53 I’m friends with a flute player who always has some kind of broken key. They recently got a brand new flute about a week ago and when they went to play they couldn’t play their e-flat, before that it was another key, then another that had gotten fixed then broke again a week later. Keep in mind that all of these flutes have been brand new not used
We went hybrid recently for two weeks, and it was divided by last name, so me the freshman was 1out if two alto saxes left. The other was the incompetent sophomore and the incompetent mellophone sophomore lumped in with us. Neither of them played because they didn’t learn their music and we were obviously missing our senior section leader. I, AS A FRESHMAN, HAD TO CARRY THE SECTION. I was the only one who brought out the charts because I knew that we wouldn’t know our spots when marching off to the side with so many holes. At this point, after playing the saxophone melody as a practical SOLO, I’m about to sacrifice the damn sophomores.
I am late to the conversation, but welcome to band :) Unless you have a blood thirsty section leader that everyone is terrified of, that's usually how it always is Hope you enjoy your stay!!!
@@EGLang here in our guard, we don’t behave cause our captian is bloodthirsty. We behave cause we fear when she gets mad enough when she yells. She did that last night when we were arguing over the seating arrangement on the bus. We behaved very well after she yelled. ;-; (that was a new fear unlocked moment)
FR its always us! one girl who was playing tenor in my class had to play a low C and she couldn't bc the key guard got smushed down so the key wouldn't open lmaooo
0:35 IKR as a saxophone player, I can assure you, *it's always the saxes* there's only been one time this year that another instrument has been broken and then we've had a broken instrument what like- 3 or 4 times this year already and it's been about 2 or 3 months since this school year started
Every single one with the low brass are so true. Especially the last one, in my opinion we have easy notes for most of our stuff - a confused baritone player
Last year (as a Freshman) I was already basically adopted by guard but a trumpet player who continuously would stiffen up and try to look good in front of a senior heheheheh...I was a favorite freshie for a lot of seniors last year
Are we having band this year? Who knows? It's a mystery!!!!!!!!! No really, my band director hasn't told us yet, and drumline starts next week. Freaking out? Yeah, maybe a little
Every day we choose a freshmen and put them in one of the drums and just start chanting “ BLOOD FOR THE BAND GOD “ and it’s a very nice team bonding activity
So, easy to bend key too. Neck cork can get thin, and can become an issue if one is playing rather sharp. You get a wobbly mouthpiece at the very end. Not very pleasant.
Sadly 😔 us tubas have practically never even heard of 16th notes, and 8th notes exist but but are very few and far between. Literally had an entire marching band movement where the tubas got a grand total of 6 quarter notes. The rest was entirely half and whole notes.
3:50 this is so true!! My middle school band a while back had about 17 kids, 4-5 of which were clarinets and we still couldn’t hear them. The year before that we had a 30 person band and the 7 clarinets were nowhere to be heard
At my middleschool marching band, a girl passed out (i believe it was from heat exhaustion) and an ambulance was called, we stopped practicing at the 100 degree weather too. So sucks for the girl, but at least we got a break.
Clarinet that hit puberty- I wheezed. I was the only bass clarinet (that’s usually why you don’t hear them- there’s only 1 or 2 usually) in middle school, but I had to quit because they don’t march bass clarinets, so now I’m in drumline.
why does nobody march it, i feel like im the only one who does 😭 i know schools just don't do it, but it it's personal preference it's not that bad, just like marching a tenor but heavier. you got a harness and everything
As a pit member, the amount of times they said "push faster" is painful. They're frikin heavy instruments and the field is at the bottom of the hill while the elementary school was at the top. We had to prevent our instruments from flipping on the way down and push a 350 pound instrument uphill. Also we had to still play outdoors in the rain, they didn't care. The xylos and marimba had water damage. Our old xylos fell apart so many times I can assemble with my eyes closed. Don't join pit, it's not worth the pain
1:00 lmao i think that's right... i'm a flute, and half my note didn't come right cuz i had a screw loose(literally) and i couldn't play for a week. now we have a spare flute just in case.
5:48 not me seeing this when one of my friends (we are flutes) is dating a guy from percussion haha. but wait… there’s a twist the percussion guy is the son of one of our directors.
8:17 as a xylophone player, I would like to say that front ensemble, at least at my school, learns our part first. We basically had most of band camp off because it took us three days to learn our parts.
This is a verse of an original song I’ve been working on, idk how it is: I never knew this could happen The way you make me feel Like every single moment Matters and it is real I never knew Someone could make me feel like nothing else matters, losing track of time The world seems to glow in a new light Cause When your eyes fell on mine You left me Defenseless
In our band, one time at a concert the trumpets were one bar ahead and it just sounded like a canon 🤷♀️ it was rlly weird but it worked haha. Also as a piccolo player I can’t begin to explain the terrors of being an octave higher than the rest of the band 🥲
0:35 in my class it’s always “I can’t play my octave key I won’t close all the way” then we hav to wait like 5 minutes for the band director to fix it and most of the time it’s not even fixed so the the saxophone can’t play lol
Love the title!! 0:20 the props = rusty metal • oh and a silk got wet and some dumb kids threw the flags on the floor and teased guards 1:08 me walking on my toes - guard 5:30 me after guard practice 5:48 as a guard flute, I was with another flute for 2 months, most the percussion aren’t even cute, and many trumpets/low brass hate guards 6:27 guards just watching and spinning flags 7:42 then there’s me who takes my own self out with my flag or rifle cuz once I get tired enough/thirst enough I don’t look as well and outside you just 🥵🥵 Then when I get water 💧😩😩 The directors of my friends think I’m drowning
So I'm in a very small middle school as in there are literally like 45 kids maybe a couple more in the entire school. 6th, 7th, and 8th. I'm a clarinet and we always overpower the band. One year there were around 9 clarinets. At the time there were also like 4 percussionists, 3 trumpets, 1 french horn, and 2 flutes. That's was in 5th grade when they allowed them to play in the full band but they don't anymore. I'm in 8th right now and there are 5 clarinets, 2 trumpets, 2 flutes, 6 percussionists, a saxophone, a trombone, a bass clarinet (also plays regular clarinet), and one of my friends who plays clarinet also plays the piano. Whoever is in 8th grade was also kinda special compared to the rest cause we started in 4th, joined full band in the junior high in 5th, had a lot of experience with high school pieces since 5th since our band directors forgot we aren't high schoolers, and have been able to go to competitions since 5th and won first in all of them. The 6th and 7th this year have had little to almost no playing skills since covid started. So yeah, fun...
0:26 it rained Monday and Tuesday during band camp and the guard instructor made us guard practice 4 more reps in the rain before we were sent home due to the fact that it started heavily pouring and there was lightning near by 😔✌🏼
4:15 actually yeah, my teacher asks me if I wanna play my monster (bass clarinet) or baby clarinet. And you can hear me over the other instruments. Also our clarinets aren't fake. We all get along and hang out. It's actually our percussion and low brass that cause drama and we only have one flute
Lmao- freshmen saxophone marcher here. Definitely agree with 0:35 Literally so true, before my bands performance for the BOA San Antonio super regional.. my saxophones B flat key was messed up! (We fixed it just in time 😩✋)
It is do be like dat doe I literally had to get my saxophone bell straightened because I couldn't play low Bb and literally 3 months later it's broken again I dont even know how
The broken saxophone one reminded me of one of my classmates he lost his mouth piece and everybody thought someone stole it and it was this huge thing and then one day his saxophone sounded weird and low and behold in the base of his saxophone was his mouth piece
4:58 Our bands drum major is actually really cool. He's the guy who got a song banned from the band hall after playing it everyday for 2 years straight.
In 5th grade we realised that we are clearly part of crackhead culture in band since its only 1 year of begining band and 2 years of advanced band until eighth grade in my school. But the roasting in clarinet hurted me cus im a woodwind - Clarinet
0:55 Me, a tenor sax player: nah, couldn't be me My whole section little minutes before our final performance: 2 tenors with broken reeds 2 baris with broken harnesses All of us with some sticky keys
The one about sheet music is so true. But since I’m a first year, I listen to my upperclassman play it first during a play test and just copy until I’m sacrificed.
0:50 I will tell you that when practicing with the whole band some people will mess up on purpose and that would be the saxophone players in my middle school band. We ain’t gonna be ready for our first performance in December
As a tuba player. 1) I suck at memorizing.... so I was always last to memorize my music. 2) sometimes it's hard to memorize when you have no melody to go off of. "Is it F here or Bb now?" Idk maybe it's all a me problem.
I will tell you that the bass clarinet does exist, it’s me, and my band director always talks about me, by myself, overpower the ten kids in the brass section.
In our band, there are 2 tenor saxes who are dating, I'll call them A and B. A plays tenor and bass clarinet while B only plays tenor. During one of our practices, A didn't tongue something right in a song and our bd cut us off, looked B in the eye and said, teach your boyfriend how to tongue.
That sounds like a bass clarinet in our band XD
Haha. That’s so me. I’ve done that plenty of times.
I’m a trumpet and i play the loudest and when I messed up my band director looked at me and went do it right the next time. I did then I got dizzy after he made us play for an hour and a half no breaks and I was talking to him about it and he went;

She always tells me to play louder but my goal is to make the floor shake. Which doesn't happen at 7:30 in the morning 😂
I laughed at the title because I’m a freshman this year lol
Hope you're enjoying band! (And not getting sacrificed...)
Think we’re joking?
I laughed because I sacrificed a freshman last night
Same boat
Same
I'm safe this year
Sophomores are off limits for sacrifices
Exactly I’m safe, I hope
but a r e w e

WHEN UR AN 8tH GRADER IN MARCHING BAND
CAP I AM THE OFFICAL SACRIFICE OF THE FLUTE SECTION
0:53 I’m friends with a flute player who always has some kind of broken key.

the bass clarinet one is so true, half the time our bd forgets to print music parts for us
Yes it’s so annoying
so we dont play that or we play baritone music because me and our other bass get told well they arent for marching so this is all you get
except i march mine, who's gonna stop me 😮
Womp womp
Well this video showed up right before we have t he 1st marching band practice tomorrow and are going to sacrifice a freshman😂😂
lucky I don’t even know if my band camp is gonna open yet :( have fun tho!
@@jadediaz6590 keep hope that it will if it wasnt going to happen for me my senior year would be ruined and I will have fun
0:50 but my G# key always sticks, it’s not even a joke at this point. Saxophones unite!
Dude same, that or my D# key
@@emmaboden1266 yeah same
I came down to say the same thing! What's with these keys?!?
same bruh
FR its always us! one girl who was playing tenor in my class had to play a low C and she couldn't bc the key guard got smushed down so the key wouldn't open lmaooo
0:35 IKR
as a saxophone player, I can assure you, *it's always the saxes*
there's only been one time this year that another instrument has been broken
and then we've had a broken instrument what like- 3 or 4 times this year already and it's been about 2 or 3 months since this school year started
Every single one with the low brass are so true. Especially the last one, in my opinion we have easy notes for most of our stuff

Are we having band this year? Who knows? It's a mystery!!!!!!!!!
No really, my band director hasn't told us yet, and drumline starts next week. Freaking out? Yeah, maybe a little
Did y’all start band?
@@avac-bone673 yeah actually we did! Tonight is our last game of the season and my last game ever, at least in high school
@@flammyyyyy yay!!! We just had our homecoming game yesterday
@@flammyyyyy also, are you in drumline? I play bass one
@@avac-bone673 sure am, center snare lol
Every day we choose a freshmen and put them in one of the drums and just start chanting “ BLOOD FOR THE BAND GOD “ and it’s a very nice team bonding activity
Don’t come for the saxes😂😂 our saxes over here got instrument maintenance lmaooo
0:40 brother... my sax hasn't broken yet, only my case- R YALL GOOD?
Oh yeah! I’m not a freshman this year! So I can sacrifice them!
This video was made 3 years ago today. Happy birthday
you guys make my day to be honest
Okay we're going there now are we? *insert flashbacks to band camp*
The sax being broke one is just simply true. Saxophones just naturally break a lot I had to fix mine at least 20 times now lol
Womp womp
So, easy to bend key too. Neck cork can get thin, and can become an issue if one is playing rather sharp. You get a wobbly mouthpiece at the very end. Not very pleasant.
the tuba one is true lmao, it's all whole notes or quarter notes and a looot of rests. the one time we got a triplet all of us were so excited

1:44 I’m feeling personally attacked rn.
When I first joined Drumline as a freshman they had a stick-clapping ritual for me
1:00 lmao i think that's right... i'm a flute, and half my note didn't come right cuz i had a screw loose(literally) and i couldn't play for a week. now we have a spare flute just in case.
3:14 ayo bro hit me up I think we in the same marching band XD
5:48
not me seeing this when one of my friends (we are flutes) is dating a guy from percussion haha.
but wait… there’s a twist
the percussion guy is the son of one of our directors.
Percussion and low brass is relatable considering that we caotic or chill no inbetween
8:17 as a xylophone player, I would like to say that front ensemble, at least at my school, learns our part first. We basically had most of band camp off because it took us three days to learn our parts.
The third one got me. One time I dropped my saxophone and I went a week without playing six notes
My best friend plays bass clarinet and safe to say she was definitely my BD's favorite 😭
Not me seeing the last one, when I’m watching band TikToks instead of practicing flute for auditions
This is a verse of an original song I’ve been working on, idk how it is:
I never knew this could happen
The way you make me feel
Like every single moment
Matters and it is real
I never knew Someone could make me feel like
nothing else matters, losing track of time
The world seems to glow in a new light
Cause When your eyes fell on mine
You left me
Defenseless
Cool!
its great!!! keep going!!!!
In our band, one time at a concert the trumpets were one bar ahead and it just sounded like a canon 🤷♀️ it was rlly weird but it worked haha. Also as a piccolo player I can’t begin to explain the terrors of being an octave higher than the rest of the band 🥲
I keep seeing people wanting to play Seven Nation Army...
And then there's me who got to play it in 7th grade 😌
Oh no I'm a freshman.
Guess your getting sacrificed 😂😂
@@logancascanett9772 Well then.............
I almost got sacrificed my freshman year lol

Idk what it is but says I’m in drumline we get left alone
-I’m a choir kid watching to get inside information before the attack-
Uh I mean yaaay band!
We don't attack choir, we're allies with the other performing arts!
Sports, on the other hand... *evil laughter*
Bro on that one about rain hit hard last season my coach made my guard spin in the rain
1:05 omg 😂 that made my night and that's how I feel when shopping.
It should be "Band Tik Toks to watch before they feed you another theatre kid."
Too late already did
@@samanthabrown3833 nooooo!!!! Another fallen soldier. Wait, did they take other people's props and talk backstage? Cause if so good riddence.
5:50 me, a perc player who got my heart broke my a flute freshman year: oof
This video has the first tiktok I've seen that even mentions front ensemble
fINALLY
- Synth/Piano freshman
The second to last one is so relatable because we NEVER get solos, and I had all 4 parts of our show memorized in like 2 weeks hah
0:35 in my class it’s always “I can’t play my octave key I won’t close all the way” then we hav to wait like 5 minutes for the band director to fix it and most of the time it’s not even fixed so the the saxophone can’t play lol
Love the title!!
0:20 the props = rusty metal • oh and a silk got wet and some dumb kids threw the flags on the floor and teased guards
1:08 me walking on my toes - guard
5:30 me after guard practice
5:48 as a guard flute, I was with another flute for 2 months, most the percussion aren’t even cute, and many trumpets/low brass hate guards
6:27 guards just watching and spinning flags
7:42 then there’s me who takes my own self out with my flag or rifle cuz once I get tired enough/thirst enough I don’t look as well and outside you just 🥵🥵
Then when I get water 💧😩😩
The directors of my friends think I’m drowning
Me, a freshman in drumline... 👀
8:06 you really had call me out huh
0:37 in my band it's the flutes, every singles flute besides the soloist have a broken flute
In 2020 my band rented out Lucas oil stadium for our final performance, it was only us and a 2 hour drive
So I'm in a very small middle school as in there are literally like 45 kids maybe a couple more in the entire school. 6th, 7th, and 8th. I'm a clarinet and we always overpower the band. One year there were around 9 clarinets. At the time there were also like 4 percussionists, 3 trumpets, 1 french horn, and 2 flutes.

8:28 ughhhh 😭 why'd you remind me of my assignment???
As an Incoming 9th Grader, I am personally terrified.
Who else has to remember all their music
Last year I forgot half the notes of my music and accidentally played first part lol
This year I was good at memorization 😁
The title lowkey through me off
0:47 why is this dude so right? “Ah I need a new reed” “my key is broken”
THE FIRST ONE IS SO TRUE THOOOOOOOOO
Was just at Lucas Oil not even 6 hours ago, for Issma Class B States.
Yo I'm a freshman next year but I LOVE WATCHING THESE
Lmao- freshmen saxophone marcher here. Definitely agree with 0:35
Literally so true, before my bands performance for the BOA San Antonio super regional.. my saxophones B flat key was messed up! (We fixed it just in time 😩✋)
It is do be like dat doe I literally had to get my saxophone bell straightened because I couldn't play low Bb and literally 3 months later it's broken again I dont even know how
1:23 my entire section plays the pepper pig theme like this at the end of rehearsal
Fished up my last year last month going to miss sacrificing a freshman
The broken saxophone one reminded me of one of my classmates he lost his mouth piece and everybody thought someone stole it and it was this huge thing and then one day his saxophone sounded weird and low and behold in the base of his saxophone was his mouth piece
Sounds about as bad as the kid who got his hand stuck in the bell of his alto in 5th grade band.
Me seeing this when I know I’m going to be one of those freshman next year-
0:37 in my band it’s always one of the clarinets that is broken
Our Contra line did the math and if you put our 17 person line together we have 1394 black notes. Excluding ties in a 8 minutes show
4:58 Our bands drum major is actually really cool. He's the guy who got a song banned from the band hall after playing it everyday for 2 years straight.
Am I the only one who when they get a new sheet of music they want to cry because you don’t feel like looking over the notes
When I read the title I started being scared for my life because I'm about to go into 8th grade and after that it is high school
In 5th grade we realised that we are clearly part of crackhead culture in band since its only 1 year of begining band and 2 years of advanced band until eighth grade in my school. But the roasting in clarinet hurted me cus im a woodwind - Clarinet
you know, I shouted "YOU WANT US TO BE LOUDER?! TELL THE TRUMPETS TO BE QUIET!!!!!" let's see how well that works
0:55
Me, a tenor sax player: nah, couldn't be me
My whole section little minutes before our final performance:
2 tenors with broken reeds
2 baris with broken harnesses
All of us with some sticky keys
At 2:35 the uniform looks so good. I wish out school had those.
My saxophone never breaks it is always the ones that sit next to me
The one about sheet music is so true. But since I’m a first year, I listen to my upperclassman play it first during a play test and just copy until I’m sacrificed.
✨Time to cry and use this as a coping mechanism cause my season just ended✨
Here’s something interesting, yesterday, the only voice my BD could here was the bass clarinet
That second one forgot to mention how all of the brass put their instruments on their head trying to get struck by lightning. Sincerely, a trumpet.
Hey guys, quick question, so I had an idea of making a marching band podcast, is that something people would watch or is is just dumb? Thanks!
8:19 i cant suck at my instrument if im the only saxophone player in my class/grade
0:18 brass be like "try me" and then just play in the rain
2:42 fr tho I’m just like “tf is this 🤨”
Jokes on you Trumpet Guy, I know I suck because I started on it like three months ago
5:47 well we wouldn’t mind (trumpets/Percussion)
0:50 I will tell you that when practicing with the whole band some people will mess up on purpose and that would be the saxophone players in my middle school band. We ain’t gonna be ready for our first performance in December
5:01 As a trombone player I cannot confirm or deny this because I am in beginning band so il’l be back when I do have a DM.
The g sharp really does rock tho
0:39 I have a saxophone and it’s been thru a fire and flood, it needs to go bye buts it’s expensive
Me *reads the title*: Wait I’m a freshman.
5:55 not me talking to a trumpet player
2:13 at least in hell people are dying to get in
As a tuba player.
1) I suck at memorizing.... so I was always last to memorize my music.
2) sometimes it's hard to memorize when you have no melody to go off of. "Is it F here or Bb now?"
Idk maybe it's all a me problem.
0:36 truer words have never been spoken, I know from experience.
