Don't you love how Drunk eddy still conducts in time
do you know what he is playing?
Yellow The Second it’s the viola king
You know somebody is pretty good at being in time if they can purposefully conduct out of time without the help of being drunk.
Nate Mozart divertimento in d major i think
drunk eddy>>normal eddy
"Yeah we need musicians to play at our event... No we won't pay you like real money but you can stay afterwards and eat our food"
Monisieja Crow and then you are lucky if u get like half hotdog and two drops of coke
I'm surprised TwoSet didn't mention that one
One time my partner and I got paid to play at this event and they gave us fancy desserts afterwards. Best gig ever😂
Monisieja Crow once we didn’t even get food and there was a fucking buffet left out for everyone else that was sitting on their asses
"we won't pay you can help yourself to the food and drinks"
"these musicians are eating way too much food they're not even guests, and I think I saw them take some drinks"
I played flute at a beach wedding and I couldn’t face the alter because the wind kept blowing into my instrument and completely killing the sound. And don’t get me started on my music stand; it was trying to fulfil its dream of being a kite.
That must have been some performance lol I'm sorry you had to deal with that. Hey at least you kept the audience entertained
Um...ANY sound outside will get eaten. This is on YOU to know that and warn them. =experience. :)
You have to allow for that in the first place. If it were a PA, you'll need twice the power to do the same thing.
You CAN invest in a very small PA if you have a few hundred. Try an Epiphone 2 channel Acoustic Reagent. It's one small box. Have not tried it on flute. Has a vocal channel and 1 instrument channel.
I hate having a fan on high when practicing because that also messes with sound (you probably already knew that but hey).
I had one time where I successfully caught my entire stand and all of the music after having it blow over from a gust of wind while simultaneously continuing to play my instrument. It was a big meme especially considering I play Trombone.
@iRaspBerry Pi "waaaaah"
So I have a horror story from my friend (we’re flautists) so she was hired for a gig with four violinist, two cellists and one violists. When she got there they gave them the music. It was canon in d. There was no flute part. They had to play it on repeat for the whole of the wedding with four breaks only. If she wasn’t ‘playing they got mad at her and said they wouldn’t pay her at all, so she had to mime playing the entire time!
ocean what the hell😂
Imagine if someone asked for a cannon in d FLUTE solo
I'm sorry but I laughed my ass off a solid minute at this AHAHAH HOW AWKWARD and a waste of time for your friend, my condolences
The flute could have played the part of the first violin, or for a Pachelbel's Canon, the second entrance group. It would have been in a familiar clef and key, and would have been the easily recognizeable melody part that most people know. That likely would have been better than mieming.
That poor cellist though playing canon in d nonstop.
The worst is when they hire a pianist and don't have a real piano - all they have is a keyboard with like four octaves and no pedal
I hate it so much
FUCKING HELL
They deserve a special place in fiery hell.
i play piano in a ceiledh band and the worst thing is when the venue says they have a stage piano and then u get there and it's one of the shitty keyboards with no pedal
We've gotten burned by this; more frequently it's real pianos that are out of tune or otherwise unplayable. We've learned to haul our own keyboard unless we can verify the state of the piano ahead of time.
Brett is only getting better and better at the “I’m dead inside” expression
How is that expression supposed to look?
Rifwan Travers watch their videos and you’ll know 😂 or look up some of their memes, or watch their reactions to memes made about them
@@cj2696 Then someone else did!
I just think that's his face😂
been looking dead inside since years ago and now it's inside out 😭
I was practicing my flute and some mom said “wOw your aMaZiNg at cLaRiNeT”
I was traumatized
Most ofy friends do not even know what a clarinet is
She doesn't know a flute but she knows a clarinet
@@aasserelzoghby6781 obviously she doesn't know a clarinet either, no hate
Man, help me, please, 1:32-what is it?
That’s still Canon In D just the Melody bit
sorry i am 18 hours late
When you play somethin beautiful and still kinda hard classical piece and everyone just looks like this: 🙂.
Then you play some pop song adaptation and they lose their mind "oooh so much talent".
-_- SO accurate
It's talent because I heard it before! J HERD IT!!! MADE ME THINKNOF THE RAYDEO!!!! THAT'S A JUSTKN BEEEEBER SAWNG!!! MOOOOOM!!!! HE PLAYED....
This pisses me of so much I learnt the whole of the Turkish march. (I’m 13 so this was hard) they all looked at me weird then I played all of me by John legend and everyone was like “wOw YoUr So GoOd”
You mean this:
ua-cam.com/video/jfjfzKf85Ac/v-deo.html
YES THAT IS MY MOM
-When they only hand music to you when you actually get there and you have to sight read everything and pray
Lol😂
True pain
You don't ask beforehand, tho?
Damn!! So true. I hate that kind of people. And the worst part is, they add a lot of requests to it. Argghhh
Winds of March Journey/Perry tribute band nope, I specifically and repeatedly asked but nothing until the day. She said ‘it’d be fine.’ Sure it was...
What's worse is when you don't get paid enough for it...
...or you're playing for free, because you're still trying to establish yourself.
woah you get paid for gigs 0__o all the gigs i did was either for nursing homes or unpaid XD
But I got foods
It's rough guys, but it gets easier. I make a decent amount at gigs. Took me a year and a bit, but worked out.
you could never pay me enough to play canon in D one more time man too many weddings
I was playing a wedding once in a quartet. The first violin who was also organizing the quartet could see the aisle and she said she'd tell us when we needed to stop playing. So, we start playing some piece and at some point, both her and the second violin stop playing and put their instruments down. The viola and I noticed they stopped playing and did the same. Ooops...it turns out the first and second violin just had several few measures of rests. Guess we should have discussed the official stop playing signal.
AHAHA omg that must've beennso frikin awkward lmao
The bride and groom must have thought you just went braindead
Lmao
2:14 I think Eddy forgot for a moment that he wasn't actually meant to be able to conduct
i like to think that he physically couldn't conduct out of time
Wind blowing pages...the hardest fight i had as a pianist. They opened the windows behind me...
Pseudo Nym oh no 😂
Kawaii Girl I was accompanying an choir. Best Etude for Left Hand ever...=D
Tip for anyone playing outside. Use cloth pegs to attach your music to your stand. It's a lifesaver.
@@TheGeographyWatch I do it. It's the best invention ever.
@@veil3947 I couldn't agree more.
Lol, these are really relatable... xD Although, I once had the opposite happen regarding the "person who used to play an instrument" example. One of the best violinists in the state stopped for a moment and started listening to my playing. It was both super exciting and ultra nerve-wracking, and I started messing up a lot more than usual...... :/
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈！太可爱了你们！
lol same. he came in to kind of help my chamber group but I totally failed ;-;
First gig I had, I said I played guitar, but couldn't play Evanescence properly to save my life XD An experienced guitarist went on stage to coach me. That was so embarrassing, but now, I laugh about it and tell this story to a lot of people without shame XD Tell yourself that it's better to screw up bad than not at all, because once you do small screw-ups, they seem meaningless afterwards because you've known worse. :)
Katy Adelson I learned the to play the piano and when I started playing.... It was good at first but then I screwed up really bad and laughed it off and telling my family that I didn't practice that much.... (My family doesn't know !much about so they didn't notice anything weird...)
It was really bad but in the evening I played it again alone and it was perfect....
Same with my teacher, i kept forgetting my notes
I've experienced a lot of this XD I remember my first gig, we screwed so bad, but everyone was drunk and couldn't tell. They said we were amazing, but any sober person would have noticed how bad it was lol! Learn to appreciate the drunk people watching the shows. ;D
It also helps if you can get people singing along. We hand out songbooks so everyone can join in. It means they're so busy concentrating on the words they don't notice how bad the band is, and when it's over they think they've had a great time.
@@mandolinic _> "they think they've had a great time"_
No, they actually had a great time, because they did partake in something and enjoyed it.
@@Liggliluff Fair comment.
These can also apply to dancers; I've tried doing a gig at an event, our "stage" was right in the middle of the bar, and the folks who were drunk joined in with too much enthusiasm.
Oh god.. that must have been so uncomfortable. Drunk people stepping on to the stage is the worst nightmare.
If someone asked me to show the creepiest comment on UA-cam, I'd show this.
17. Totally. Impractical. Chairs.
Edit: OMG. Thanks for the likes, everyone! Hope your gigs are all awesome!
I can relate to that one! Fortunately I've found that Argos in the UK sell padded, armless, folding chairs for £10 each. The 10 quid well spent.
Yes! My beaded fringes got stuck in an iron work chair once 😲
percussionists: imagine having chairs
I think cellists have to worry about that more tho😂😂😂
@@AliciaGuitar Oh, no!
When your school string ensemble has coincidentally played the EXACT SAME SONGS from number 3, over amd over again
so you are a man of culture as well. they are allways the same songs!!!!!
😂
"coincidentally"
What’s the last one called
Viva La Vida by Coldplay?
That moment when you realize becoming a brain surgeon WAS an easier path.
But the grades are the hard part lol, you have to be good at it in uni, and work hard
4:15 is the prove
When it's raining and they have no back up plan because they were too cheap to rent a tent and think asking you to sit under a tree like that makes it better.
1. There's more water dripping from the tree than falling from the sky.
2. The cost to repair my violin is more than what I'm getting paid for the gig!
So glad I don't do very many weddings anymore. When I do I ask for double what I charge for other gigs.
But much of these complaints are on you. :) If I'm the sound engineer, that's on ME to ask questions. Particularly the obvious ones.
I have a Realtors license. Any idea how many times I've had people want to go look when they have a 400 credit rating and no down payment?? Lol
Or people who know better who can't get a pre-approval letter from too much debt (buy the car, go to school AFTER the mortgage!)
Or they still have 6 months on their lease??
Yesh. That's all on ME, as the professional. Not them. Lol. I should have asked.
I get paid to show, anyway, myself :) and water? I'm out, if they have nowhere to put the party.
You won't be able to hold a tune for quite some time, anyway. Might as well go home. :)
wow.....
Winds of March Journey/Perry tribute band damn bro can’t remember asking
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 Oh boyo are you clueless
Where the he'll that come from?? Bad day at work n your brain found the most ridiculous place to vent?
I also love it when the drunken guest comes and congratulates you while you are playing, expecting that you will pay full attention, hold a conversation and even shake hands, all while you are playing....
That's just like when you are playing on the streets and people try to buy a CD from you while you are performing. But instead of just taking it from your case, leaving the money, they start asking you about "what's on the CD" or "do you have change?"
lbr Coldplay's Viva la Vida is overplayed af but when some classical musician plays it I still would get chills
razh fog you probably wouldn't. A lot of them don't know how to groove so it looses all it's emotion and momentum
my orchestra played it and i’m a bass and we were pizz for pretty much the entire song. still got mega congratulated at the end.
How do you know it wasn't fallen kingdom?
3:33 IS THAT IBO?! AHAHAHA 😃😆😆
"Can you play Georgia goes to town, by the Devil?" 🤣
Is that by the Jack Daniel's Band? 🥴
The Devil went to Georgia by the Charlie Daniels Band
4:15 Fun fact: The wind only blows viola music; any other music is impervious.
Gavin Wild not quite. I'm a violin, and I was in an outside performance once, and the wind knocked my entire stand over :')
lol shame xD i'm a guitarist, and on the odd occasion where i have played outdoor gigs i've taken clothes pegs in case there was wind so the pages don't flap. i don't recall my stand ever falling over though.
Audery Wow! I've never met a living and talking violin before. The internet sure is a strange place
Happens all the time with piano and violin.
Victor Nikolov I'm a human (I think). I just talk like that.
4:08 IBOOO
UA-cam recommended AC/DC to me just as he said “yeah we can do AC/DC”
UA-cam scares me sometimes
Search indexing is probably the main reason UA-cam has automatic captions tbh. I noticed they index the comments section too
Probably the video got copyrighted by ACDC and they put it there
This one time we had a gig on the top floor of a lighthouse (outside, on the balcony).
Long story short, my notes weren't secured enough and were blown of the balcony.
Unfortunately, the lighthouse was very close to the water. I lost about half my notes to the ocean
My condolences on that experience but the last sentence was really poetic.
What? Why a light house lmao
The sheet music they had blowing in the wind was for viola!😂
Coincidence, I think not!
14) When you’re stuck in a room with 11 Uilleann pipe players (imagine the Bagpipes, but Galician), and you’re a sad bass player who is almost able to find the key, but you can’t quite get there, because there’s random measures of 3/8 and 5/8 thrown in so you wind up focusing on rhythm more than harmony and you want to die.
Jack Cramer bad day ?
How do you even FIND 11 uilleann pipe players? I know one and that's a very big coincidence xD
I am a piper, and I’m slightly offended
Though we do tend to play solo unless it’s a competition
11 Pipers AND they are playing Uilleann Pipes? How the hell did you get in this scenario without knowing this would be happening?! :D
So... out of curiosity, if I were to ever hire a musician or group of musicians to play at a wedding or other event, what would be the OPTIMAL and LEAST SACRILEGIOUS set of courtesies?
1+2) Reminding your musicians via text or call the day before the event or something would help mitigate forgetting the dress code and stand, so I would assume a day-before-rundown is something gig musicians would appreciate.
3) As for playing the same music over and over again... is it discourteous to ask the professional on their opinion for what would sound appropriate for the event, or is that putting too much work on them? Or, at least would it be discourteous, as someone who is not familiar with the pain of Canon in D, to ask for the "Omfg I will shoot myself If I have to play ANY of these songs ONE MORE TIME" List so they can be avoided? Or would it just be better for the organizer to do as much research completely on their own as they can, even if they have no musical background?
4+5) As for not knowing when to start and stop, I think in most cases, that should be on the organizer (?). If they want a coherent stop-start experience, this should be decided by the organizer beforehand, explained thoroughly, aided by cues and signals if necessary, and gone over during the day-before-rundown.
6) ... I don't know how to help with forgetting repeats. Burn some aromatic rosin in your Ling Ling shrine and pray-ctice?
7+8+9) I hope to god I don't ever have to be the head of an event where my staff have to endure humiliating torture like dealing with drunk people or socializing with my shitty friends or relatives. Would a ping/panic button that discreetly alerted the organizer, help with situations like this? It could even be decided beforehand what kind of button it is, like a "we're being bothered, get them away-button" or the "nope, this is too much we outie-button". Or would some honest, "We're apologizing beforehand, ganbatte and playing F to pay respects" be a better approach? I know everyone is different, but I'm curious which would be better for you, or if neither of those are right.
10) Hmm. A set list. Having a predetermined roster of songs with the organizers seal of approval would be a great excuse to get weird requests off your back. maybe you guys should just print a list of those "Top 10 Overplayed Classical Pieces" with a fancy illegible signature at the bottom and carry it with you to gigs so if anyone tries this shit you can just whip it out and be like, "Sorry m8, boss' orders. Now FahckoUF."
11) I will wear a name-tag or try to meet with you in person beforehand. Easy.
12) ...I provide rocks? Some kind of paperweight...? Just say fuck outdoor events altogether...? Yeah, that last one sounds nice. Air conditioning is sexy.
13) Pre-organized binder of the expected sheet music given to each musician with a table of contents on the front for reference? Whatever makes this easiest on you guys, if it'll help I'll probably try to accommodate.
14) ... Make the expected to be loud times break times? another button but this one is a "we literally cant hear ourselves think, nonetheless play rn" warning button? just saying screw it and giving the band express permission to chill if they cant hear anything? I don't know how ambiance works. (.-.)
15+16) I will try my absolute damnedest to only request things of musicians that I have already found sheet music for and all of this will go in the pre-organized binder with table of contents which will be also gone over during the day-before-bREAK d o w n.
I don't know how much of this sound ridiculous, but I hope most of it would help, hypothetically.
It's inevitable. You have the right to ask for the most famous classical pieces, but that doesn't make the musicians feel any good about it since they have played them hundreds of times. In fact, all these things, the drunks, the weird requests, the guy telling stories about playing instruments, that's all nice, poeple are not used to be among musicians and their curiosity is understandable, it's just that it happens a lot to musicians and it's not a good experience, after the tenth time it's just annoying, but musicians will be polite and show interest to your stories and will try to fulfill your requests. Anyway gigs will always be the same, go ahead and ask for Canon in D for your wedding if you want, it's a beautiful piece and you are paying for it.
Some of these ideas would probably be great to help out gig musicians, but some of these scenarios are ultimately the responsibility of the musician, and wearing the wrong dress code is a mistake you will only ever make once. But it would be a godsend for a musician to have an organiser who really cared about the musicians and made an effort to make their job a little easier with all these small things.
Some of these are a bit unnecessary, it’ll probably be really stressful for an organizer to worry about all these things at once, but I do agree with a few of them. You should probably ask for pieces that already have sheet music ready, asking the musician’s opinion might be good, but in the end the music is always your choice, and maybe prepare a tent or something in case of weather issues. Honestly outdoor event kinda suck anyway sooo.
U r a amazing person
Thank you so much for all the effort put in here!
I relate to these too well. My quartet members have switched to iPads and that has solved the wind blowing pages problem and getting pages out of order. Also, during a power outage we kept playing prelude for the wedding in the dark.
Second composer.
hello Beethoven love ur violin sonatas
Charles-Camille Saint-Saëns Thank you.
call me Camille
Ludwig van Beethoven well that's polite of you. :l hello camille..... ..... nope. I'm gonna call you cherry HAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHHA.
Ludwig van Beethoven anyaways.... do you guys know what "gig" means?
I had to play under a ceiling fan. Sounded like I was gargling
My piano at home is under a ceiling fan. If I turn on the fan it gives the piano a subtle vibrato.
*I am Iron Man*
@@grantbmilburnooh, extended technique
“Hey, how come we’re only getting half pay for this wedding?” (Band Leader)...”Oh, that’s because the father of the bride is a friend of mine...I gave him a deal of half price.” (Me...to myself...”Well he’s not a friend of mine...”, Me...again to myself...”And if he’s such a good friend, maybe he should show how much of a good friend he is by paying double.” Also, this video forgot the bugs squished between the music pages from playing consecutive nights outdoors in the summer...such fond memories of The Mikado in Riyadh, 1997
It's embarrassing when that semiquaver run you can't remember ever playing before turns out to be three squashed mayflies on the stave.
"solo viola double concertante from mozart..."
"oh- eine kleine!"
LMFAO
dang brett you look really tired hope you catch up on sleep while you're touring
misery chick the stress on his face. :(
Too early no composers here yet
vesteel God damnit Syphilis
Someone called my junior high's conductor who played the trumpet. Message as follows:
Pagannini Caprice 4
Chasing The Sun
Some anime song I don't know
paganini caprice 4.... on trumpet? are they trying to make them cry?
As a trumpet player, I’d froth at the mouth if I got those pieces
I never knew how much I needed to hear eddy say “bloody marvellous”
SOLO VIOLA DOUBLE CONTERTANTE BY MOZART
Also a nice one: Can you play the largo by Händel?
Or: We need you to play solo for two hours as a background musician. Could you send us a recording of your set beforehand?
Another one that happened to me recently: So, here's your payment. Can you sign here? Ok then, thank you very much. Goodbye! - Meanwhile the pianist is standing next to me and not only gets completely ignored but also doesn't get paid.
Seriously? What the actual hell.
Why do they have so many wigs and WHY are they so abused?!
Surely they can afford better quality wigs now!
@@aalegalfocus nah the messy abused wigs are now their trademark 😂
😂
I only now realized that it was Ibo in the "11. Trying to figure out who the organiser is" part 😆
So relatable! The one who make weird song requests and expects musicians to know them! And the page blowing wind ergghh
Its damn hard to find good Soundtrack music or arrangements just by googling for it.
I've played in wedding ceremonies for 15 years in Brazil, and I can tell you this is very accurate
When you all "google" it and get different versions...
In different keys
Just played at a wedding yesterday... and ALL of these things happened! Same pieces too :D
I'm late. Forgive me.
it's ok
Charles-Camille Saint-Saëns _ greetings, Cherry
Stop rolling around with Stanzy, and pull your crap together, will ya? 😂😂😂
(Late) ((dead))
Ann H_ no but, after you say that.. i guess....
I have a friend who was in a metal band and they had people always ask for AC/DC so they learnt some and never got asked again
lol why would someone want to listen to acdc when there's metal available
3:11 *Georgia goes to town by the devil* omg tears😂😂🤣
I got booked for my first ever gig as a trombone player for a church Christmas choir (even though I'm a French Horn player) and I'm like super nervous because they gave me a plastic trombone and the music and were like "Here learn this"
DissertationDay good luck?
What happened next?.
Update?
Lmao i just commented that 2 minutes ago on some minute story vid
I dont even have a dog
Watching TwoSet while cooking dinner, ohh yeaaah
Wait, I should be practicing...
my favorite is when people stand RIGHT BEHIND you and comment on how you’re playing and everything you’re doing : / let me play in peace
The one employer who is like, “we don’t pay, but it’s good exposer”. Yes, because exposer is going to pay bills.
Have you seen Daniel thrasher’s video? It’s called when you get paid in exposure
God, I have never related to one of your videos this hard.
Liszt, Chopin where u guys
Brett's customer service voice at the end is so soothing, but his face conveys much pain
2:52 I like how you put Chopin there lol
I died at "yeah I'll bring my best manners" 6:04 10/10 amazing content
At least violists won't have problem 9
Rudeeeee
lol
They would have a whole lot of problem 3 though...😉
Sorry violins are better
Geigenzähler OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Brett looked more and more crushed the longer the phone call went.
For the 10, I once met with someone who insist me play a piece I didn’t know from hearing him humming. When I told him I was not able to do it, he said,” because you are not listening carefully to me humming.” And hummed again and again and again and again... I have no memory how that evening ends.
hi twoset senpais, i really enjoy the video you make and i appreciate the hard work put in!!
y'all are cute and talented :))
pillow bean i agree they are cute and talented and make amazing videos
7:19 that "you're in safe hands" gives off "we're doomed" vibes loll
No. 4 - I once experienced the alternative of knowing exactly when to play, but the officiant at the wedding I was playing added a spontaneous prayer before the recessional piece. So, all of us in the quartet started playing a rather bombastic Bridal March while everyone else was bowing their heads in reverence.
...So, that was cool.
all the points are SO relatable..especially I'm nervous for the requests
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW BAD THE PACHELBEL'S CANON IS! YOU RARELY HAVE TO PLAY IT
Splodinate Kabloominate me: **is playing this at two future weddings**
Splodinate Kabloominate
Found the cellist.
I can relate *holds cello and cry*
as a cellist i learned to like pachbell canon, i stare to my partners and try to distract them, for fun.
Splodinate Kabloominate at least ur not a cello player
I'll make money to invite Twoset playing music at my wedding.
Come on guys, let me have a dream.
I got married and made sure most of my songs weren't tedious for the musicians lol. Groom entered to the Force theme, I came in to Yellow, and the 1 "boring" one would be the book of love when we signed the contract but it isn't a well known song in my country, they didn't even know it so they had to learn it. I basically let them play anything they wanted while the guests were waiting. They had a nice spot in the shade of a big tree so they wouldn't get hot. The only weird request, which I don't think was a big problem for the violinist, was I asked her to use my father's 18th century violin. He passed away years ago and having his violin playing was a way to have him with me as I walked to the altar. I only had them for the 40 minute ceremony, as I wanted a dj for the rest, but they were invited to stay for the reception as well. I hope my musicians had a nice time.
That sounds wonderful and considerate!
Hope you had a beautiful reception. I think it's quite an honour for you to ask them to play on your father's antique violin. ❤
This should be titled "things not to say to gig musicians" 😂 now i am reconsidering requesting canon for my wedding in the future...
I mean, yeah it's boring for the noisemakers, but it's _your_ wedding, _your_ day. You get what you want, because you're paying out the ass for it.
Yes, hahah it's your day, so you can request whatever you want, but there really are so many beautiful pieces or pop songs that are even more perfect for a wedding!
Brett's eyes at the end...he's dead inside...😄😄another great video.
"Can you play Georgia goes to town.. by the Devil??" :D
Georgia goes to town by the devil: priceless
Dude I respect you musicians so much more now.
I had just taken a sip of soda when you said "Finding Nemo" and I really struggled to keep it in. xD
4:23 ah yes, my favorite classical piece playing in the background.
4:14 Me thinking about that part in phantom of the opera when the chandelier comes down. Musicians say that it's so fast that the pages fly away 😂
Once during a school concert, my stand partner and I sat right underneath the air vent and it was the middle of winter, so... the heating was blowing like crazy. In the middle of the piece, the sheet music all completely blew off, face down, so my stand partner and I just made up random parts that sounded nice. Love that.
I was in a chapel choir for 5 years. Every single year, there were 3 carol services. The pieces were NEVER IN ORDER!!! On my 5th and final year where I was asked to 'just deal with it' I sneaked into the chapel (it was a posh school) and rearranged all 70 odd folders to house the correct repertoire in the order that they were sung in. I had done it 12 times by now, so I knew the order. Everyone came into practice the next day ( three working days before the concert) and the practice gained half a bloody hour because people didn't have to filter through shed loads of paper to find the song they had to sing.
Just so you know, I changed the orchestra scores as well. I'm not a monster...
But yeah, pain in the ass.
Another thing, because if you've made it this far you're either incredibly bored or really interested. I used to play piano for 'gigs' I call them 'gigs' because I would just sit down at a free piano hall at an event and start playing, and because I wasn't shit, or playing fucking Fur Elise, they just let me stay. I cannot count how many times I've had problem 7 through 10. They just really hit home with me...
'Do you know any Elton John?'
'I used to play the piano. I got to grade 2 before I quit though'
'You're so talented' (I hate that word. I worked my arse off for 19 years to get to where I am today...)
The worst of all was people gesturing at me while glancing or referencing their own children saying things like 'Why can't you be like that?' and 'See, this is where you'd be if you practiced!'
That was horrible.
*And scene*
If I had a goddamn penny for every time I was asked for ACDC or Metallica or some shit. I'm a pianist, it will sound awful, you're a bogan for asking.

4:19 I was playing something at an orchestra concert in my school (in a gym), and the air conditioning there was blowing the music off of everyone’s stands.
That was fun.
Have you guys heard of big paper clips?
Works fine :)
When I was at Uni I was the clarinet part of a flute, clarinet, and bassoon trio. The flautist was the one who created the trio and organised everything. We'd rehearse together and do some busking. The flautist got us a "real" gig to play at an art gallery exhibition, so we all turned up on time. He always kept all our music - and left it at home. The only music we had were two movements from Handel's Water Music suite. So that's what we played - over and over and over again.
Yeah, I love to experience thnigs. Thnigs are great !
The most uninspirational "you're in safe hands" in the history of the words
Oh this made me chuckle guys. I've suffered through all of those. Totally agree with the previous comment too, & been hired to play organ or piano only to find an old keyboard, untuned piano, or that the organ's not been serviced in years. The joys (stress) of gigging!
Brett: *exists*

Your acting skills are fun enough that I think a movie would be awesome
0:16 Always pack the other shirt.
Love it! Damn you guys and your clickbait catching me every day! 😅🎻🎶
OMG I loved this one!
I feel like I'mthe one to give compliments non-stop. I got a chance to talk to our soloist in the break and I think I kind of crept him out
4:05 Yes. We've all been there so many times. Running into a drunken organizer 😂😂
I have been a gigging rock/funk musician and the weirdness runs across the board… I would love being able to compare horror stories with some classical musicians… I think it would be hysterical and enlightening… 😂
