When they yell 'left', it means that their left foot should be down. In other words, they're basically just keeping time. Also, what do you mean by not in marching band "yet"?
In band camp we were all told to sing our parts so me and the rest of the guardsmen were quietly whispering "swish swish, toss, drop, SHIT, smooth entrance back in, the hell are the counts again?"
Every 4 years we go to Disney World and we live in Michigan.....I don't know how I will survive that long a trip in a bus full of people and only one small bathroom...
ChrisCrossAppleSauce's Daughter I live in Arizona and I loved the trip there. We even played a Disney Trivia to see who would get off the bus first when we stopped for lunch. And the behind the scene when we get to play disney music is great!
"Did you just put your mouth on that?" "Yes. It's my trumpet." "THAT WAS MY TRUMPET" -overheard while delivering stuff to someone in band "Did you fart on my clarinet?" "I maybe did. Maybe didn't." -overheard while trying to help band teacher work the computer "Would satin be in band or orchestra?" "Definitely band." -talking to a person who plays tuba
Adrian Ortega I know how you feel. I love in Texas, and despite the heat advisory warnings the bad directors make us stay outside on the asphalt with only one break
awesomenes3ds Unless your chewing gum and the gum shoots through the mouth piece. But chewing gum and getting stuck on the Reed would suck. Which is why I never eat before I play my Clarinet.
"You can't lock your knees!" BRUH I immediately knew what was going to happen next cause I passed out on my first day of marching band from the same thing XD
In mine one of fellow Clarinet players says "THAT WAS GUCCI!","WE ARE SAVAGES!",Or when another part is playing he makes noises like , "OH GET EM! AYE AYE OHH!"
Stuff my fellow flute player says "you know I'm the only guy in the wood wind section" " tell me when we get to measure 18" "do you have your books with you?" "what are the fingerlings for D flat and F sharp?" I'm the senior player. We have a song that we get to sit in the ready position for 22 bars of four four timing and since we almost never make it to the 18th bar without having to start again I'm my sections timer when I turn my head to my left we are at 18 so get your flute to your god damn mouth and start paying attention.
every single band XD this is totally accurate. of course, you forgot the part where you scare people with a loud note, play your tuba, french horn or trumpet on someone and trade instruments. lovely
This video explains my jr high band.Like seriously.Mr.rose is the name of our directer and me and my friend just yell "HI MR.ROSE!!" When we see him.And oftenly someone will come up to him and hug him.And we screw around a lot AND WE NEED TO MEMORIZE THE STAR WARS THEME AND 13 PAGES OF POSITIONS IN LESA THAN 4 WEEKS BUT NO WE MESS AROUND IM PANICKING!!!!
+Brandon147 You'll get there if you practice a lot!! I play clarinet and I've been focusing on my chromatic scale for a while and I'm slowly getting better and better, you will too and you'll just have to learn the notes too!!
helenacarolynn pit has the most notes in a big marching band so its kinda a trade off march and have less notes and more white notes or be in pit and have 80% sixteenth notes
2:10 is so true but that guy is way better than our clarinets! Great job man! I love it when you guys hugged your band director, that was so cute!!! XD We're totally doing that with our new band director at the end of this year!!! ^^
Does anyone else notice that band kids are...well, closer? Like, my classmates in my social studies class aren't nearly as close as my band mates. Maybe it's because band kids suffer together more?
The worst thing about being in pit is having to wait in the 107 degree weather (I live in Texas) for the band to point out their positions and by that time my bloody cymbals are burning hot and ugh
Our director told us this joke "how many trumpets does it take to screw in a lightbulb? 5, 1 to actually screw it in, while the other 4 stand around talking about how they could've done it better"
In my band I play a Clarinet and two older kids who play the clarinet right next to me do "nasty" things with them. Like make noises or stick their fingers and tongues in the bell. One time this kid did it and chocked.
"Left. Left! LEFT. LEFT!"
this is the only life I know now that I'm in marching band
Omg same!
Omg truth!
JJ Cahill I'm not in marching band yet, obviously but what does left mean?
When they yell 'left', it means that their left foot should be down. In other words, they're basically just keeping time.
Also, what do you mean by not in marching band "yet"?
JJ Cahill Our school invites certain kids into marching band in 8th grade. I'm in seventh and they invited me
One time at band camp, we were kinda bored so we sang our parts.. Needless to say there's a reason we are all in band and not choir..
Madi Peel during band camp I got to play capture the flag
In band camp we were all told to sing our parts so me and the rest of the guardsmen were quietly whispering "swish swish, toss, drop, SHIT, smooth entrance back in, the hell are the counts again?"
Madi Peel well if you can’t sing in tune then you can’t play your instrument in tune
Callmedearleader Did you play with the color guards equipment? I feel like it would be fun.
I’ve done that with other kids before.
DON'T SMILE AT ATTENTION
*Going to perform at Disneyland*
SMILE! SMILE! KEEP SMILING! THIS IS DISNEYLAND!
Every 4 years we go to Disney World and we live in Michigan.....I don't know how I will survive that long a trip in a bus full of people and only one small bathroom...
ChrisCrossAppleSauce's Daughter I live in Arizona and I loved the trip there. We even played a Disney Trivia to see who would get off the bus first when we stopped for lunch. And the behind the scene when we get to play disney music is great!
Nike Coro I'm going to perform at Disney for spring break to
I'm going my senior year....CLASS OF 2020!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!!!!
Cheyanne Akers heyyyy my band is going as well
"Did you just put your mouth on that?" "Yes. It's my trumpet." "THAT WAS MY TRUMPET" -overheard while delivering stuff to someone in band
"Did you fart on my clarinet?" "I maybe did. Maybe didn't." -overheard while trying to help band teacher work the computer
"Would satin be in band or orchestra?" "Definitely band." -talking to a person who plays tuba
The real question is what instrument he would play.
Cindyisadog
Trombone. Definitely trombone.
Broseph Tails lmao
My band's pretty strict, putting your mouth on another's instrument and you're running 3 rounds around the school plus 30 pushups
"we're gonna do the fight song" *pit puts down mallets* 😂😂
Kelby Miller our pit just switches instruments (we all play more than one instrument)
LEFT! LEFT! LEFT!
Reminds me of my first time in band camp...
I was in marching band band camp for the first time this year, that's the worst 2 weeks of my LIFE
+jacob blackstock then why are you in band?
+jacob blackstock live for band camp.
right
Mine too. I went to band camp late so i had to catch up. I still have to keep being told left left left
"When's the next water break"
Said no drumline ever
Adrian Ortega so true
Adrian Ortega I know how you feel. I love in Texas, and despite the heat advisory warnings the bad directors make us stay outside on the asphalt with only one break
Drumline is a cult
Camaroni1000 I feel your pain, I live in Louisiana, and I play marching percussion
"One more time."
"One moRE TIME."
"ONE MORE TIME."
Marcel Octavious lies
Marcel Octavious my band director sometimes
*5 years later* ONE MORE TIME!!!!!!
As the teacher counts us off, we whisper
"Five, six,
Ready? Ok!"
Like a corny workout dvd
NO EATING IN THE BANDROOM.
OMG SO TRUE
Kim Le yes it ruins the mouthpiece people in my band learned that the hard way
Cori Renner only woodwind mouthpieces though
awesomenes3ds Unless your chewing gum and the gum shoots through the mouth piece. But chewing gum and getting stuck on the Reed would suck. Which is why I never eat before I play my Clarinet.
@@nathanharvell2741 no brass to it gets in the instrument and ruins it
that moment when the best clarinet player says he's the worst... like tf
Crimson Meow its a problem we have
"You can't lock your knees!" BRUH I immediately knew what was going to happen next cause I passed out on my first day of marching band from the same thing XD
same
Adam Bergen Boi
DJ_Dublet Are you guys serious?! 😂 Did no one tell you guys lmao
They made us stand at attention for an hour... Nobody said anything at all.
We were learning to go from standby to carriage to horns up for like 20 mins and I got bored and locked my knees
left left LEFT LEEEEEEEEEEEEFTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
I like that part since everyone stepped of on the right foot
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Yosh Hypermedia lol shoutout to mrs asselmeier trico band director lol just like her
After a great song my classmate yells "THAT WAS SEXY!"
in my band i'm the one who says "THAT WAS SEXY!" omg i love band
Its-A-Me Omario I say "that's hawt"
Its-A-Me Omario I yell that was SAXY
In mine one of fellow Clarinet players says "THAT WAS GUCCI!","WE ARE SAVAGES!",Or when another part is playing he makes noises like , "OH GET EM! AYE AYE OHH!"
Peeweebear Cat oof, sounds like your in my band
Stuff my fellow flute player says "you know I'm the only guy in the wood wind section" " tell me when we get to measure 18" "do you have your books with you?" "what are the fingerlings for D flat and F sharp?" I'm the senior player. We have a song that we get to sit in the ready position for 22 bars of four four timing and since we almost never make it to the 18th bar without having to start again I'm my sections timer when I turn my head to my left we are at 18 so get your flute to your god damn mouth and start paying attention.
I'm sensing some pent up rage. I recommend drinking a soothing cup of tea every now and then.
Jordan Barkley tea is nice but when you are in a band that cant manage to get through one scale in less then five minutes, it ddoesn't do much
51 measures in let it go and I fell bad for the flutes we have a horn flash up.
Yukki Katsuki I didn't understand a word of that
Lol I have middle school band
"Anybody seen my mouth piece?"
Me too and I _think you left it in locker 835 *looks down long locker hallway*
I really hope all these kids are still friends today. If you're not, look each other up and have a reunion.
As a former drum major and clarinet section leader throughout high school, I find this extremely accurate, and quite hilarious. lol
every single band XD this is totally accurate. of course, you forgot the part where you scare people with a loud note, play your tuba, french horn or trumpet on someone and trade instruments. lovely
Most accurate representation of pit so far......
I'm so glad I'm in pit
All 12 of these pixels were soooo true.
It's funny how alike we all are. Even from different schools. We're pretty much all one and the same.
Jeffrey Grim YES YOU ARE RIGHT
I'm gonna be honest we could all use LESS first trumpet!!
im never on first trumpet because theres only 3 trumpets in my band so i always got 2nd trumpet while the other 2 got first trumpet
+Allie Burns lol we had 13 trumpets in middle school and 10 in high school
+Blake Orr cool marching band has many videos on UA-cam so u can look up Chelsea High School Marching Band
ikr
or the second and thirds could start playing for once -_-
the first one is so true... "GOT ANY VALVE OIL?"
My band teacher says "If you're early you're on time if you're on time you're late" also he's obsessed with Star Wars😂
Nicole Leonard omg mine too, lol 😂
Nicole Leonard omg mine too, lol 😂
l rich Mr.Moore lol, on the 15th (of October) we marched at the Ohio University game it was fun
Cool! We were at Metlife Stadium last Saturday ~
Mine too except she loves Doctor Who
You also missed something when the teacher says "blow harder" the entire band laughs and dies
Me Moe YES 😂
"DOES THE MOUTHPIECE DROP ON THE FIRST CLARINET SQUEAK!?"
"NO SIR!"
"IS THE KNEE STRAIGHT ON THE BEND OF THE KNEE!?"
Lol I played flight of the bumblebee on bass clarinet and just yelled I suck after I finished in front of ma teacher.
This video explains my jr high band.Like seriously.Mr.rose is the name of our directer and me and my friend just yell "HI MR.ROSE!!" When we see him.And oftenly someone will come up to him and hug him.And we screw around a lot AND WE NEED TO MEMORIZE THE STAR WARS THEME AND 13 PAGES OF POSITIONS IN LESA THAN 4 WEEKS BUT NO WE MESS AROUND IM PANICKING!!!!
Well the brass tell the woodwinds to kiss their brass
That was a nice sounding chromatic Mr. Clarinet lol
not even a minute into my trombone class...
*an innocent slide goes flying through the air*
ALSO MY CLARINET CHROMATIC SUCKS I HATE THE HIGH NOTES
IKR
+x Hailey I DIDNT EVEN KNOW WE HAD THAT MANY NOTES
*CRIES SELF TO SLEEP*
WE DO......
Brandon147
Oh you poor soul..
+Brandon147 You'll get there if you practice a lot!! I play clarinet and I've been focusing on my chromatic scale for a while and I'm slowly getting better and better, you will too and you'll just have to learn the notes too!!
My band teacher always says "I'll buy it.....for now" or "That was PERFECT guys! Do it again."
Olivia Berger same
im in band and.. this is the most relatable thing ive seen all day
*pit complains* every battery member," Shut the fuck up!"
That trumpet player wearing a Fluttershy shirt! :D
2:07 Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do! "Man, I suck!"
XD
Thank you so much. This was awesome.
The guy at 2:15 Just Slayed That Chromatic
This makes me miss my band. T_T Enjoy it before you graduate.
TheWindsofWonder trust me I'm enjoying the cupcakes we get when some graduates lol really though I am
Why does this have to remind me of our band? xD
Because this is practically all bands XDD
Hikari Angel nope not mine
"LEFT LEFT LEFT LEFT"
THERES ALWAYS AT LEAST THAT ONE GUY WHO WONT STEP IN TIME LIKE SERIOUSLY ITS NOT AS HARD
I Just Love Band. It's Not Just Being In Band, It's Living Through It. To Be Honest I Wouldn't Trade It For Anything Else I Could Have Possibly Done.
Oh my gosh whenever our bd is yelling about being out of step he'll scream 'OTHER LEFT' after two times
This is still accurate seven years later
I just about died when Stephanie wasn't smiling XD
1:03
You'll only understand what they're saying if you've been in marching band before.
😂😂😂
Yay for being in color guard!!! Anyone else :D
The color guards at my school take long breaks while the band take 1 or no breaks during after school rehearsals
salr93901 At my school a lot of the time when the band had to go outside and march the color guard practiced or just messed around in the gym.
+Maka Albarn no fair
salr93901 lol but since there is only 6 people in guard theres a lot of drama ;-;
+Maka Albarn same! although our director would never let us take more breaks than the band, but there is so much drama all the time!
This is the band campiest thimg ever. I LOVE band camp, though im sore because i play tuba, i love it. This video is so true though
Contra or sousa?
+that guy you know contra
Nice
Sousa for life!!!!!!!
Megan Fraley sax4life jazz hands 🤗
The locking your knees part cracked me up I did the same thing at my first marching practice. It was hilarious
SOO TRUE I swear I'm always like "what measure are we on"
I remember this one year in my marching band someone literally almost passed out bc they didn't eat breakfast
5:56 " I'm hungry " that is rich😹😹😹😹
When you yell plus one right after learning the very last page of the show
So true! My band even had the person that constantly lost their mouth piece
I miss band so much. :( being a senior sucks.
"What measure are we on?" Hahahaha too relatable.
"Left,left,left,LEFT,LEFT!!!"
i know that voice just that eternal calling out left... that is the life i now live as a marching band geek
We can go get water once the trumpets stop talking
Archanea - lol actually during parades this guy just follows us with a water squirter and if we get thirsty he gives us some water
*trumpets keep yelling for a water break*
That is the moment the rest of the band dies.
I appreciate the Lee Hi! As a trumpet player and a kpop fan!
"What measure are we on?" Pretty accurate, But what happends to me is "Am I playing the right song?"
HORNS DOWN!
*trumpet mouthpiece flies off* 😂😂
All of the pit stuff is true. So very true. Its sad.
helenacarolynn pit has the most notes in a big marching band so its kinda a trade off march and have less notes and more white notes or be in pit and have 80% sixteenth notes
I'm the guy who plays a scale in thirty-second notes and says I suck. Trombone FTW!
As someone who plays trumpet, I can relate to a lot of this 😂
Same -another trumpet player
I'm in pit haha I about died of laughter.
"I'm in pit I don't march" is me to the death. Even though I never get to see the show 😧
2:10 is so true but that guy is way better than our clarinets! Great job man!
I love it when you guys hugged your band director, that was so cute!!! XD We're totally doing that with our new band director at the end of this year!!! ^^
"pshh never learned that!"
XD its so me in the percussion section. same with the dancing!
on the way home from away games and comps we screamed wee woo and leedle leedle leedle lee from the bus windows
"I'm in pit I don't march" so accurate xD even though I said to the drumline one day "I'm in pit I don't speak drill" XD
whenever my band wants water, they ask indirectly like
"WATER we doing???"
Reminds me of my freshman year band summer camp with seniors next to me
0:00 to 0:04, so funny!
A trombone player at our school did that when we were going to our state testing classroom. It was so funny! XD
Go in the “in door” and out the “out” door, says every upper class man ever.
I wish my school was that friendly and...nice...and talented....*sobs*
Left left. Left! LEFT!
I'm I the only one who sucks more playing with my band inside then playing at a concert.
I meant am I
Just A Bit same it's the pressure that makes me play better 😂
that one girl has a FLUTTERSHY SHIRT
sara levinson Fluttershy is best pony.
"Hey, do you have any valve oil?"
I get asked that like every single day, it kind of gets annoying, but it's so true. xDD
"When's the next water break?" xDDDDD This is so true especially in my band because we like in the desert so it's always so HOT
The "I suck one" is me 😂😂
One time at a band summit me and my friends sang out band song
IT WAS SO FUN
We still sing that band song because it was so amazing
😂😂😂 "I'm in pit I don't march, so funny so true
The part where all the mouthpieces flew out was probably the best.
At my school it's mostly "HELP THE PIIIIITT" and "GET IT TOGETHER WINDS"
This explains my band teachers (yes teachers their a couple it's so freaking cute and hilarious) "left...left...LEFT I SAID LEFT!!!" "UGH!!!"
Hey did you mess with my instrument?
"Me no english, band speak."
Oh Ok
Big loud piercing noise transposal transposal?
"Lmao yeah"
Dude you got an extra mallet?
My band director is also named Mr. Davis...except he's actually fun to be around
i play trumpet and the part where he says my valves are stuck reminds me of the trumpets in our band including me
My band teacher: " Okay, we'll play to measure M."
*Plays the entire piece*
Fun fact me and my tuba peeps would hide snacks in our case because of how big our cases are
Does anyone else notice that band kids are...well, closer? Like, my classmates in my social studies class aren't nearly as close as my band mates. Maybe it's because band kids suffer together more?
The worst thing about being in pit is having to wait in the 107 degree weather (I live in Texas) for the band to point out their positions and by that time my bloody cymbals are burning hot and ugh
1:58 how trumpet players greet each other
Our director told us this joke "how many trumpets does it take to screw in a lightbulb? 5, 1 to actually screw it in, while the other 4 stand around talking about how they could've done it better"
In my band I play a Clarinet and two older kids who play the clarinet right next to me do "nasty" things with them. Like make noises or stick their fingers and tongues in the bell. One time this kid did it and chocked.
This whole video just summed up band camp.
"Do you need more first Trumpet?" Always.
My first day of band camp everyone said keep your trumpet up and horn angle
