Calling a middle school concert band “the worlds worst concert band” is like handing a trombone to a toddler and insulting it for not knowing what to do.
Thank u😭😭😭 (I’m in beginning band at my middle school and they don’t sound HORRIBLE you can just tell they haven’t played as a group very much) except percussion…idk what they’re doing **says the percussionist**
@@alofii6106 toddlers, 11 year olds, 20 year olds, 50 year olds….. it doesn’t matter what age, if they don’t know how to play an instrument, give ‘em one and see if they sound ANY different. They won’t.
Collegiate music student here. They’re not that bad. I’ve heard much worse. Listening to individual parts, I’m hearing some great tone quality, note accuracy, and articulation. Clarinet with the melody is especially killing it (maybe open your vowel shape a little, ease off the Reed). The two biggest problems are group timing and balance, which are things that every band has to work on until the day after the concert. I don’t know where they are in the terms of how long they’ve had the music. But if it’s the first week with this piece of at least 124 measures? Heck yes! Doing great! My college band sightreads from time to time, and we can sounds worse than this on a first reading. Other issue: talking. Seriously? You’re in rehearsal. Not chatting. Also a universal problem around the world though. Edit: Can we be a little nicer down in these replies? @The Dude is getting a lot of hate for his initial comment, which looks like he took down. This person doesn't deserve this much negativity thrown at them. I appreciate those of you backing me up but let's not push others down to do that :)
How do they have awesome tone but repulsive everything else??? They sound very good they just aren't together... Ever... It's strange. But I'm serioua when I say they have exquisite tone on their instruments
@@plunger9165 I’m not even sure that a seven reed exists. They actually go from 1-5 (I looked it up 😂 didn’t know they went beyond 4 until a moment ago, or maybe I forgot) It’s a measure of stiffness. Basically said it sounded like he was using plywood for a reed. 😂 The “barrel“ would be the equivalent of a tuning slide, not completely inserted. lol Great name for bone player, BTW.
as a flute who has gone through middle school band, maybe mine was just worse than average/you can’t hear the true extent of their tone, but the flutes here sound pretty good for middle schoolers. Are they together? ha. But is their tone airy and unclear? not much actually. Are they out of tune? Definitely am used to much worse from middle school flutes. All in all 6/10 id give them another 2 or 3 points if they just learned to look at their director
@@IchigosTarts Thats just going to come with practice. I dont play flute, i play oboe, but to get a focused and round tone, i did long tones for a while, then i focused on tuning, then after tuning added vibrato. You could try that. I know my friends that play flute and they did the same thing and it helped them.
Yep but think of it this way. If you cook some food for me that tastes, absolutely horrible but I can’t cook. Does that make your nasty food taste better? No. It doesn’t matter my talents or anybody’s talents. If something is bad, it’s bad. You don’t need to be the best player ever to say that.
I was part of my HS band, some really fond memories were made during our performances. We'd just finished a performance one year and felt pretty proud of ourselves. Our conductor/teacher was also telling us how proud he was of us and how well we sounded. He said because the concert was recorded, we could actually listen to ourselves play. It sounded something like this...
They sound decent definitely not the worst As a percussionist I can say drum set player sounds good, timpani too The one on cowbell probably need to work on counting their rhythms And if what I read in the comments about this being one of their first couple run-throughs then it's fine
Also percussionist here, I agree that the drum set and the timpani’s are actually pretty good. It’s also that I think everybody is on a different measure almost 😅
Music teacher of 7 years with experience teaching all ages. This is an extremely inaccurate caption. I see you’re in the percussion section, so I could understand the confusion since you guys might not understand how much more difficult starting on a wind instrument is. No disrespect to percussion, but it is MUCH easier to start on a drum then making a sound on a Flute. Focus on improving yourself as a percussionist before mocking your colleagues. Learn YOUR fundamentals: rudiments, check patterns, mastery of melodic percussion supplemented with knowledge of piano. It’s been four years, so maybe you’ve looked inwards since the time of this recording. I can only hope. Hell, I teach middle school, and it sounds like you guys were working on pretty cool stuff and had some really strong players in this band.
We are playing the same song in our concert band that is also playing with the middle school, and this is what it sounded like when we started playing it. I would be interested in seeing what it sounded like when it was performed and what improvements were made
Seeing the kids talking over the director, playing without being queued, and overall disrespecting him is unheard of at my school @_@ Even at the middle school level we were taught discipline and respect when we came into the band room.
😅👍 the director needs to take alot more control I'm only in middle school and are band directors are so strict... The secend he hears someone talking during the concert he will stop the whole thing..... Good luck 🍀
A common practice for teaching band is to sightread a piece of music without rehearsing it. It helps with future sightreading. My guess is that's what this is.
Sounds like you gave a beginning band a level 5 concert piece. It's gonna sound bad, however with hardwork put in during every practice it will come off as easy after while.
They have AMAZING potential! I wouldn’t say they’re the worst band, that’s for sure. Just need to have patience, it is worth it in the long run! They are also young so they can practice more and more. All it takes is heart and soul!
Super cringy actually. Would definitely hate to have a student who obnoxiously goes “AWWWHGHHG” when they literally played nothing difficult themselves.
I’ve seen way worse, but by the way I could tell that they were playing “under the sea” proves that they aren’t that bad. “✨It just needs a little shaping✨” all they needed was to stay in time, all together, it’s as if there were two singers (or more) to your favorite song, one can’t be singing to the second part while the other one just started, for example: your favorite song is “jingle bells” and there are three singers, one starts at “jingle all the way” and then another comes in barely starting and overlaps it and then another one is confused so they sing “oh how fun..”. That can’t happen because then it’s all just a huge mess of voices, doesn’t mean you can’t tell what it is (most of the time) just means that they need to stay in time together. I would never dare to call this the worst band ever, just a good band that needs to stay in time :)
UPDATE FOR CONCERT BAND IN THIS SCHOOL! There's a new band director, and he's much better than this one. He keeps the band quiet, while also giving them fundamentals to learning music. If you'd like to see a video of the new concert band, email me!
they could just be sight reading for all we know. Honestly a great and easy quick-fix solution would be to initiate a blood sacrifice. My marching band did it and now we are considered Floridas best powerhouse marching band in the swamp region. Satan does wonders I tell you, wonders she does.
With a little more practice, and more listening to eachother they will get it. It sounds like they all got it down they just aren't together and listening to eachother.
Honestly they aren’t that bad all they need is some extra practice and their sounds quality in individual parts were amazing the only Thing I could see wrong was some timing issues I find playing a recording of the song or getting the band to count and or sing there parts rly helps and working with i individual sections in sectionals and also the bass drum player was striking it with way to much energy causing a very loud sound that is unsettling what my band instructor always said is that you want to feel the bass drum not hear it
I definitely dont think people should be using words like worst to describe anyone online bc I dont think they would appreciate that if they saw this. As a musician myself, they are obviously practicing and training musicians and they will improve. I hope people will realize this and try to use more encouraging words next time.
Assuming "bad playing" as part of your identity will leave less room for improvement in the future. Everybody starts somewhere and it takes collaboration to get somewhere everybody wants to be. So pay attention and practice correctly and you might be surprised as to how far you got when you assess how good/bad a band you are for the first time in months. Also, like others are saying, it's not as bad as it looks, I don't wanna get into why that is, others here are doing a fine job. The reason people might think this is terrible is because they don't have context, their context is legendary Carnegie Hall performances and pop artists in the studio or cherry picked good moments on UA-cam, that is dramatically unrealistic when compared to a public school band. Keep it up, see if you can make that the worst run you'll ever do, then repeat.
I’m actually surprised on how good this was I’ve heard bands so bad that I couldn’t even make out the music for a very long time but this is actually pretty good reminds me of when I first started playing for middle school band and we sounded similar. Rome wasn’t built in a day. They will improve. Serena Williams wasn’t born knowing tennis.
My band was way worse after a kid who was in percussion moved to our beginning band class after being in jazz band class from 8th grade, he caused a a lot a ruckus which made us clean all the time in the band room and then we sucked, it was so bad that the other beginning band was way ahead and better than us!
I’m so glad that my elementary school and middle school band didn’t suck. I am a freshman in high school, and my concert band better NOT suck for my next three years like this concert band does. As of right now, my high school band sounds really GOOD! To be honest, this concert band does suck.The band director should go back to music school to learn how to conduct and to help people with their parts.
I remember when my band played one of ours songs for the first time. It went horribly. This is probably around the band’s first time playing this song, so don’t call them ‘the worst band’. They just need to practice.
🍀Since this video was posted in march, I'm assuming they were just given their spring music, and this was probably one of the first few rehearsals. If that was the case, the video could've might as well been taken from the honors band, and still sound "unsatisfactory". 🍀
So when is was like 13 I was in ib and we HAD to play in a band and half of the people didn’t want to be there I promise you it sounded like a nightmare, literally horrific, I still have chills thinking about it
practice makes progress- i started in concert band when i first went to middle school and on my eighth grade of middle school i moved into symphonic! skipping intermediate. i never had flute talent but with hard work i made it to symphonic! anyone can do it if they work hard!
I understand that some kids are very hard to discipline these days, but that band director desperately needs to gain control over his classroom. My director would never have tolerated all that talking and playing around when we're supposed to be listening to him or getting ready to play. That being said, there were some good things coming from that band. The timing was terrible but the flutes and clarinet / saxophones had some good notes in there and put together some good runs. The rest of the band just sounds very lost. But, these kids need to understand that they do not run the band room. The band director does
They're not a lost cause.
The director needs to take a day or two to focus on fundamentals.
Agreed
Yeah, they aren’t too bad. There are definitely worse bands out there
ye
Nah lmao at this point they are a lost cause
Yes Amen on that, I was always taught Fundamentals even tho it was tough. But it helped in the Long run tho, I’m a HS Grad of ‘21 but I can tell their not a Lost Cause.

Nah, the worst concert band is the kids they picked for that Infiniti commercial lmao
My director would murder us if we talked during songs
practice makes progress- i started in concert band when i first went to middle school and on my eighth grade of middle school i moved into symphonic! skipping intermediate. i never had flute talent but with hard work i made it to symphonic! anyone can do it if they work hard!
my band teacher would go all military on them
Is that “Under the sea” from the fish lady and “Toy Story” from the toy store from China and mix it together it became this my bruda?
