To anyone who sees this, I wish the best for you, your family, and to anyone else that's in your life while we are all in quarantine. I'm sure that all of us were caught by surprise when we suddenly had to face COVID-19. So please, stay safe and stay healthy.
As a trumpet player, I can say that it's not really drama, but more stupidity in my band. It's as if they're blasting their brain cells into their horns. There's only nine trumpets here, and I only want three of us to stay in band through high school
My flute isn’t heavy but when we playing a march over and over for an hour and the universe decides that’s the only song ever that doesn’t have a sixteen-measure-long rest for flutes... yeah, my arms get tired
I’m the only bari sax in our entire band that’s including highschool and middle school like out of 7 grades I’m the only bari and then my friend is the only bass clarinet in middle school there’s one at the highschool
Ok wait, can I just explain why flutes think their instrument is “heavy”, and why we can’t hold it parallel to the ground? Ok sooooo, the way that you hold a flute, is like, really uncomfortable, and I know that there are plenty of instruments that are worse for holding than the flute, but if you play for more than 5 minutes(strait) then your shoulders start hurting, and they start your fingers get crampy, and your neck hurts, so the solution is usually to hold it at like 75-80 degrees
Even when holding it down it can get tiring to hold your shoulders up, but yeah I’m just kinda weak. The hardest thing of playing a flute for me is getting very light headed, it can take almost as much air as a tuba.
ikigai ikr It’s actually better to hold a flute at like a little less than parallel for better air support And it ain’t heavy Until you’re playing it for ten minutes straight
@@moi-manda4648 I’m the opposite of stereotypical trumpet players I’m pretty quiet and once my middle school band director told me that I was “too nice” to play trumpet lol
lmao I’m a trumpet but like the last one 👀😳 “my flute is heavy” the heck?? Edit: my trumpet is probably like one of the lightest instruments Ik ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Y'all I went to a jazz concert for a bunch of schools to play some songs together, you know the drill, and I spent the ENTIRE CONCERT just trying to make it so my guitar didn't slip I was so mad! Also I was shocked at the amount of times I heard the saxes play that damn Undertale song
Well that’s cause you’re not supposed to hold a flute parallel it’s supposed to be angled 🙃 also yeah nah it isn’t heavy at all. And actually a lot of us, our goal is to not be 1st chair cause some of us hate solos lol
As a fellow bassoonist every year I get to see my bassoon depressed during marching season when I have my saxophone and rarely pick my big brown bassoon up. As of right now it is in the corner of my room collecting dust while I pull out my sax to practice our marching music. Dear Big Bertha the Bassoon, I love you more than my golden girl Betty the Saxophone.
Kay Imma flute. 7:22 is SO TRUE!!!!!! Except it's not heavy. I mean, because the flute is held horizontally, if you play for a long amount of time, it can become uncomfortable and kinda cramp up your shoulders which will make it seem heavy, kind of like if you do 100 reps with a 5lb weight. It's not heavy, but after awhile it will kill you.
Omg! The trombones shaking their heads to the being too loud is incredibly accurate! It just happened yesterday! Our band teacher told us that we needed to be quieter and we cheered because we were playing loud.
as a fellow flute player, flutes are not heavy, but after a long time of holding it up with no support it starts to ache and holding it up regardless without anything just hurts to keep up so yeah lol.
@@exhaustedphobia9304 well yeah lmao, but im talking about light instruments (like flute) that start giving cramps, aching pain, etc. So yeah ig w every instrument that you actually hold
There's usually never drama where im at, and maybe 90% of other bands. I've never even heard of this stereotype till now lool, im a very, very cheerful person and other sections almost think different of flutes bc of how me and the flutes that i hang around act. hopefully that dies down
Baritone friend:-walks behind me and puts my hand on my shoulders- Me:...? B:*after a solid 10 seconds of silence*-looks around the band room-this is my 9th wife M:oh I am,I wasnt aware of this but okay B:-just walks away-
As said, the flute feels heavy after a while because even light pressure on our arm, which is holding itself for the flute can hurt the shoulder. Holding it for too long in the same position, just no...
I remember locking my knees by accident during my first fundamentals and I fell backwards (we were ding backwards marching) and my section leaders and the drum majors and my bd and the brass instructor came running towards me like a bunch of wasps I was a Freshman...not disabled or stupid. Back 5 feet away please then it happened to a freshie this year and I walked them inside and helped them put ice and a bandage on his forehead
Ok my friend is a flute and he is the complete opposite he’s first chair the other boy is last chair he participates in no drama and he’s friends with a trumpet.
As a flute player, I feel personally attacked. Also, flutes aren't supposed to be held completely parallel, if we hold them at a slight angle the air gets into the instrument a bit better
Fusion yeah, it’s hard. But when your able to make a noise out of it, there’s not really much to worry. You have to slow really hard but then as you go, it won’t be hard. And here’s a tip, if you want to play quieter or a descrendo or something, like tighten your lips softly around the reed.
I agree that oboes are underrated. However, in defense of us: at my school, a kid played oboe for a few months then left the school entirely. Kinda turns people off the instrument. Also, our band’s current oboe SUCKS. I guess we’re only in 8th grade but I know for a fact she isn’t trying
I play the string bass and electric bass, I like never play unless it’s jazz or rock and if it’s marching band guess who gets to stand in the bleachers with the sweaty insane sports fans.. •^•
My band has a boy piccolo and they accepted him with so much love but the second I come as a girl trombone nobody talks to me and most people don’t like me
To anyone who sees this, I wish the best for you, your family, and to anyone else that's in your life while we are all in quarantine. I'm sure that all of us were caught by surprise when we suddenly had to face COVID-19. So please, stay safe and stay healthy.
Watched this while sacrificing a clarinet player to the Gods
watching this while using reeds as firewood
@@Kettie5 ur triggering me
-clarinet player
You're not supposed to hold a flute parallel though because then the air doesn't go into it right. This was brought to you by a fellow flute player❤
ayeeeee flutey flute
Hello fellow flutey
What’s up I play in Drumline
Exactly
Hi fellow flutes
The day before a competition, the LAST RUN and the LAST MOVEMENT on the LAST PART, my neck strap snapped...
I’m actually surprised that there’s a few bass clarinet ones in here.
I know right
They always forget french horns... French horns are high brass, but they only ever say trumpet and low brass.....
😥
@@duck9387 It's ok, we can be forgotten together. 😭
“What a cool lookin *saxophone* ”
I feel ashamed Bass Clarinets get more love than Bass 'Bones :'(
There is no drama at all in the flutes but there's a lot of drama in the trumpet section like there's a new thing every week
As a trumpet player, I can say that it's not really drama, but more stupidity in my band. It's as if they're blasting their brain cells into their horns.
There's only nine trumpets here, and I only want three of us to stay in band through high school
Fusion I can say the same dude. I feel like there is usually the 3 or less trumpets that are actually good that carry the rest.
the flute one i felt on a personal level
My flute isn’t heavy but when we playing a march over and over for an hour and the universe decides that’s the only song ever that doesn’t have a sixteen-measure-long rest for flutes... yeah, my arms get tired
Imagine this but, with a heavier instrument. Of which most everyone else does.
I'm legit the only bass clarinet out of all the band classes...
Happened to me in middle school
Me in middle school: the only percussionist
Debbie Jj sameeee
I’m the only bari sax in our entire band that’s including highschool and middle school like out of 7 grades I’m the only bari and then my friend is the only bass clarinet in middle school there’s one at the highschool

Sounds like violin practice
shame
omg actual bass clairinet ones
3:13 she looks kinda like the girl from lazy town but with white hair
off topic
but your Henry Hidgens pfp from Nightmare Time is GLORIOUS
Wish there were more Mellophone ones out there haha. But these are hilarious!
*silently plays baritone in background as the crash symbols are dropped*
Me: O.O
The percussionist: .__.
6:40 I appreciate the marimba shirt
I have no idea what’s going on

As an inside man in the flute section, it isn't. Carrying an alto sax and a trumpet at the same time is.
Hello fellow trumpet
I guarantee that my trombone is heavier than your flute or trumpet 😎
@@amandaz.3068 try carrying a baritone sax my dude
Try carrying a bass drum.. yea
ok, as a flute player, i can relate to some of the stuff said at the one at the end, and i used to play the trumpet before i switched to flute too =/
and also because in the flute section in my band, there are a few boys in the flute section
As a Bass clarinet Player, I am thrilled to see some Bass clarinet ones
Y'all I went to a jazz concert for a bunch of schools to play some songs together, you know the drill, and I spent the ENTIRE CONCERT just trying to make it so my guitar didn't slip I was so mad! Also I was shocked at the amount of times I heard the saxes play that damn Undertale song
We used 2 by 4's for slapsticks for sleighride, best memory

I’m a tuba player ,, flutes are very light
Yep...
Not heavy, just uncomfortable
SarahDaWolf YT they are like less than a pound and all you hear then say is “it’s too heavyyyy”
Have you tried holding quads
I play trumpet tubas are heavy
Omg! The trombones shaking their heads to the being too loud is incredibly accurate! It just happened yesterday! Our band teacher told us that we needed to be quieter and we cheered because we were playing loud.
The last one: hehe we try as flutes
The saxophone one is too relatable, I can’t even! 🎷🎷😂
2nd comment lmao
But also the second video the dude was like 👀👀
6:26
Am I the only saxophone that gets annoyed by the fact he doesn’t have a mouthpiece
Nope. I noticed immediately
Did am oboe sacrifice today, we did pretty good, we could've yelled OUT amd SAFE a little louder and said OUOouoOUOU with a bit more zing
i play the double french horn- qwq
Sameeeeeee French horn sistersss/brothers/whatever
Twinsies
Same, and I’m the only one at my school except for one kid who’s online lol
Idk why I do it but when I bump into something and it doesn’t hurt my immediate reaction is “ow”
First comment before anyone else comes!
Emily Silvernail Yaas! In it to win it.
@@flipstick1259 I have no idea why this doesn't have more likes and views like this is an amazing compilation! Whats your instrument?

@@flipstick1259 I play clarinet to!
Is the flute section in my band like the only ones who aren't any of these stereotypes like 😂

Isn't this true with literally every other instrument?

Just an orchestra kid passing by the ban-
Jeez there loud.. But not as loud as my annoying screech string on my Viola ( the A string)
I’m the only girl flute in my grade and I never say my flute is heavy
Baritone friend:-walks behind me and puts my hand on my shoulders-
Me:...?
B:*after a solid 10 seconds of silence*-looks around the band room-this is my 9th wife
M:oh I am,I wasnt aware of this but okay

Lmao the trombone one they always telling the trombones to play louder in my class 👁👅👁

Holding it for too long in the same position, just no...
3:00... HOW in the HELL do you FUCK UP Hey Baby... 😂. That's a disgrace!
Bro dear dairy FRENCH HORNS : WHY DID I HIT HIM !!!
One of the flute players in my class they broke a disabled kids leg
The perfect model one I relate to all except for drum major because I’m in middle school
5:37 and then theres the snare that **splinters his sticks and sends shrapnel EVERYWHERE**
I play trumpet and this video is awesome.
Noooo the sleigh ride one was too relatableeee
I remember locking my knees by accident during my first fundamentals and I fell backwards (we were ding backwards marching) and my section leaders and the drum majors and my bd and the brass instructor came running towards me like a bunch of wasps
I was a Freshman...not disabled or stupid. Back 5 feet away please
then it happened to a freshie this year and I walked them inside and helped them put ice and a bandage on his forehead
The 1st one made me way to happy
The first one thank you
It's always the flutes
1:50 for how truthful this is its painful (first year marching baritone, arms already dead)
I played this exact version of sleigh ride with my concert band
3:24
Aye we’re athletic if you play some sports too of which I do
Never underestimate the weight of brass instruments.....my friends baritone broke a window
Icandrawz Holy crap!
Icandrawz ...Okay but literally the same purpose can be achieved with a trumpet, having been thrown hard enough
The same can be achieved with small children, but my cousin's parents were mad for some reason
Ok my friend is a flute and he is the complete opposite he’s first chair the other boy is last chair he participates in no drama and he’s friends with a trumpet.
As a flute player, I feel personally attacked.
Also, flutes aren't supposed to be held completely parallel, if we hold them at a slight angle the air gets into the instrument a bit better
As a flutist I feel exposed
On 2:52 I can confirm my director made us do 4 full runs in indoor percussion the day before championships i was so dead
The sleigh ride one is relatable
In my school I'm the only good baritone player it hurts my head
I am in band and I play the euphonium or the " baritone" but if you want search it have funnnnnn
The color guard ones...so me
bruh the first kid is my savior.
_waiting for the trumpet tik toks intensify_
Director: Trumpets you are too loud
Trumpet Section (in unison): NO THEY'RE TOO SOFT
Baritone one at like 2 minutes is true except for it not being a light instrument it’s very light may or may not be because I play tuba now
I’m Clarinet Saxophones Are Always Squeaking And Being Really Annoying While We’re Starting
(No Hate Tho)
That first one
1 2 3 4!
I’m a FLUTE PLAYER AND....
1. I’m not full of drama
2. Flutes aren’t supposed to be held exactly parallel
I open your UA-cam channel and the first word I see is drama XD
After two years and not one color guard comment. I’m a fix that. 🏴OPENER🏴❤️❤️❤️
1:48 as a baritone I felt that
6:01 competitions start in seventh grade for my school and 8th grade is high school baNd
Gotta add the duel of the fates one for the next vid
2:12 as a baritone, offended? Yes. Does it apply? Only to one kid in my section I will not name. (Sorry dude)
Today on my strange addition:
4:31 is so true!!!
First meme got me like
Tf did I just watch-
I can so relate to the sleigh ride one
That was me
BASS CLARINET SQUAD
Boi, I have all state auditions in 6th grade!
4:24 when ur breaking in a new oboe reed
The suicides at 1:40 got me dead
1:03 that fuckin sucks when it happens thankfully hasn't happened to me yet.
Oboes are underrated
they're super hard to play! My friend is learning one this year, and he can't make a noise out of his yet.
