My first pit experience involved me turning around and seeing every. Single. Wind player. All with a glass of wine
dasd282 hahahahahahahahah lol
LMFAO XD
Lol
Sounds like us, to be fair.
as a wind player, i can see that.
When I was in pit I collected feathers from seagull costumes that floated into the pit.
Wesley little mermaid?
My friend got confetti blasted at his head
Little mermaid? I was in one
James and the Giant Peach?
Right now a bunch of beads are falling off Cinderella's slippers and hitting us in the heads. We don't collect them, we throw them back with spite cuz they hurt
I heard stories about percussionists who literally left during tacet for another performance, came back for their last bang. Two salaries for one night. :D Why did I chose the violin????? :D
lmao pog
I play the clarinet and I’m barely heard, I can pretend to play. (Don’t do it)
Your ‘:D’ looks like it’s in pain
@@crystalgrapes achievement unlocked: you now know how to spot sarcasm
Because it’s superior
I once did a workshop with a clarinettist who told me a lot about life in the professional orchestra.
Apparently, he was part of the orchestra for Mozart's "The Magic Flute". Now, the pit usually had one (1) table full of food in a place the whole orchestra could reach. So, when they played the overture, the wind players immediately started eating like crazy while the string players suffered. When the violinists could finally eat, there were only apples and bananas. They did this. Every. Single. Opera.
animals.
Is this the Movie "The Platform"? XD
@@camidreamscometrue62 No but the orchestra is just as savage
At least you got healthy food, haha. Perhaps they were doing you a favour ? 😂😅
Bruh
Was in the middle of a show and I looked down to see some of the people in the pit playing cards😂
Anonymous Person LMAO
Haha
They often forget PEOPLE CAN SEE YOU. In high school, there was no pit unless a thrust was erected for the stage. We precussionists quickly learned how to discretely build a blind using stacked folios and timpani for some privacy.
1000 like!
I paused the video at 0:32 to read the comments and I came across this one
im the sax player that has a solo in the first 5 minutes then sleeps
As soon as the second act gets going we can just say goodbye to any hope of playing lmao
Phat m00d
@@ohdear279 What's stopping you from just leaving? lol
the worst is when its like a three hour show and you play in the middle of it
if you are lazy its extremely lucky but if you get easily bored its a pit-y xD
No. 17: Collecting things that fell into the pit
No. 18: Trying to avoid things that fell in the pit
No. 19: Playing on their phone
No. 20: Try to compete with other musicians (I've seen a few people do this)
No. 21: (for my fellow females) braiding each other's hair lol
No. 22: making fun of the pianist. (I do this everytime I get in the pit)
No. 23: asking where we ended
No. 24: Watching sports matches
No. 25: Making fun of what happened on stage
DyliEpicPotato my teacher told me of one girl who knitted during
Pretty sure Eddy whispered “viola” in Brett’s ear
Did you get that from the captions?
Yup just check the captions
I thought he was gonna kiss him and literally fell off my bed
@@michaelwoon oh fantasies
Hey guys I’m kinda new and I don’t understand what’s funny about violas and why they dislike them so much 😂 can someone explain
I can fully relate, I once had a 300 bar break and we were sitting in a spot where the audience could see us. Holy shit it was torture.
varp DANG
O jeez
I would lose track counting
Heck I can't even count
Oh gosh I’m sorry to hear that I’d lose count for sure
OML ARE YOU OKAY
Welcome to low brass lmao. Sometimes we rest for an hour before coming in lmao
As the opera singer on the stage, I can absolutely confirm a lot of these, especially the chips, the accidentally loud videos, and definitely snoring.
666
😮😭
When I was in the pit, we would assign a different character (from the musical) to each orchestra member and unless you were playing, you had to mime along with them. We switched the characters around for every show just to keep things interesting 😅
That sounds like fun!
I did that sophomore year when my high school did Beauty and the Beast! The other violinists and I would mouth the script to the trumpet players across the room, and by closing night we all had nearly the whole show memorized lol
😂😂😂
I desperately want to do orchestra but my family is far too poor, my shool doesn't do orchestra, and unless I finally get a violin for Christmas(actually possible this year) I wouldn't even have an instrument for orchestra.
I only have a ukulele, acoustic guitar, and electric guitar. I play bass guitar(at school) but I don't have one.
I made the devils number by liking...😈
EVERYONE WATCH THIS VIDEO WITH CAPTIONS ON best captions I have ever seen
You the real MVP.
THANK YOU! Added experience!
It’s_ Me lmao this just made my day
Omg XD
Thank you! Totally worth it!
How about a orchestra edition of "what I think I do" "what my fellow instrument players think I do" "what other sections think i/we do" - you get the gist.
What I think I do- play mediocre-ly?
What fellow violinists think I do- act like a second chair brat and show off
Violists- think I think violas suck
Cellists- they look at me like I'm crazy (they're probably not wrong)
Basses- twirl their basses just to piss me off
Sanchita Koppa ok I’m a bassist and I can confirm that in bass section when we’re not playing all we do is twirl our basses or make inside jokes
@@aechols ikr, but the thing is, one of them know that it annoys me, being that they could lose control any second. And know one of the cellists, the second chair one in fact, tries twirling his cello just to annoy me.......
They are going to have a field day over the violas if they try that idea
@@sanchitakoppa4027 As a violinist, we love to joke about the violas.
At school we used to do stuff like detune their instruments and slacken their bows if we got a chance. Now we just make jokes about them.
that one dislike is the conductor
David Wallerstein nah the conductor has most likely been a pit player before. He gets it
I was the 1000th like lol
David Wallerstein I love the kitten in your profile picture!!!
Lol
now its 88 conductors are disliking this video
Bit late but needed to share this: I played in the pit usually since I played woodwinds, but in one show I had an acting/singing part on stage. And the musicians in the pit kept holding up score cards at me everytime I had lines/songs/dance. And yes they were brutal.
🤣🤣
1:56 Paganini could play the violin, but Brett can play the bow
Do you know what the peice they played is called?
@@seths.173 The piece they mauled to death is Russian Dance from the Nutcracker
You should also add avoid stuff falling into the pit. I play double bass and was covered in shaving cream pie from a on stage fight. In another I almost got hit in the head from a candelabra.
charles chien I play double bass too and I’m always scared that with open pits someone is gonna step on the headstock
charles chien that’s comedy gold omg
What kind of opera is that
@@dmitrishostakovich9559 Beauty and the beast is my only guess lol. but not an opera obviously.
Phantom of tthe Opera anyone?
I can confirm that every single one of these is true, BUT YOU FORGOT THE PERSON WHO PLAYS MEME SONGS DURING INTERMISSION TO TROLL THE CONDUCTOR!

also me:*Turns away pretending i didnt see that*
very true!!! lmao our percussion kept on playing the pornhub intro on the drums 😔

“eating”
wind players couldnt relate
I'm a wind player and literally always ate. My poor trumpet.
Pit makes you do desperate things
Sonia Ruiz still an airpipe
@@SUNNSARO it says wind not woodwinds
This bassoonist has Twizzlers as his go to pit snack.
This perfectly captures the pit mood.... except the lights.... where are your stand lights you sacrilegious bois!
It is always TOO MUCH LIGHT or not enough due to cheap stand lights. Never between. The exception is when everyone has a dim light and one person brings their own light that is WAY brighter.
Ling Ling practises playing flight of the bumblebee fast in the pit
He doesn't need to practice it, always remember: If you can play something slowly, you can play it quickly!
He practices slowly, because then in the performance he plays it quickly.
Kawaii Fluff he does it in under 30 seconds
Ling Ling plays flight of the bumblebee 16 times every second
100 notes per second
I went to see the Family Addams musical in my local theatre last year and cause I was in the front row, in a small angle I was able to see a small screen that they had put on the other side of the stage, where you could see a pianist in what looked like a small booth (I couldn see anyone else passing by) I dont know why in the hell they chose to put a screen there, maybe see was supposed to signal if something went wrong with the music? And it was half-hidden in the sides and with the courtain.
Thing is, I spent half the musical watching how she worded every song, half-danced to the music and acted when apparently she didnt need to play, 10/10 would watch every musical with a small screen of the musicians (tho I kinda feel bad, I dont think she knew some viewers could see her)
Surprised no one commented on this before this, so I figured I'd give a potential explanation even though it's a year later. They probably had it set up like that because she was also the conductor. In a lot of local productions, that can be quite common. The monitor (what the screen is called) is so folks who are off stage can see the conductor if they're singing in the wings, etc. As the musical director, they'll often mouth along to keep actors on time, keep their energy up, and convey the emotion of the music to both the orchestra and the cast (they also just clown around and act along just as you mentioned... It also gets caught on the monitor because it's not like they're going to turn it off and hopefully anyone who sees it will get a good laugh). In particularly high tech theatres, I've actually been given a small monitor of my own as a musician because I wouldn't have been able to see the conductor otherwise. I've also had friends who have done productions where they had a monitor because the orchestra was in an different room from the stage because they wouldn't have fit and so the actors wouldn't have been able to see the conductor otherwise. If you enjoyed watching the monitor, when you next have the chance to see a show (who knows when that will be...), take a look behind you as well, sometimes they're put up or projected near the light booth!
For those people watching without captions, ya'll are missing a lot. Editor-san's subtitles are AMAZING!! They don't just read what Brett and Eddy are saying, he also makes commentary and writes out their thoughts in the captions, which just makes everything so much funnier.
This is miy first time doing that, and it is GOLD!
I forgot to turn my captions on! Thanks for reminding me.
Glad I scrolled down to see this comment. Yes, it added another dimension and yet more laughs to this vid...
Why is this so accurate??? Especially the "choking on stage fog" part
1:28
*You looking at me*
1:53
*The reason why you’re looking at me*
Nice 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ahahaga dying from bronchitis rn
The coment was random XD
Hey, what's the song's name at 1:53 ? I like it but I don't know what it is.
Nevermind I found it.
Me: accidentally has the captions on
The person who did the captions: :>...
I swear to God it was hilarious. They kept mentioning ling ling lmao
*siipipipipip*
Hahaha I went back to watch again just for the captions! Hilarious!
And violas
ooOo sUch monA liSa
Rewatched it! The captions are gold!
Is it bad that this makes me want to play in a pit?
I miss this kind of thing so much, I was in orchestra in school for 7 years but since starting university I haven't. So any sort of "being in an orchestra" video gives me all the feelings lol
I hope you get to make music again in an orchestra
I miss it too!
Ik... we finished our school's musical last year and I was in the pit band... and i miss it a lot... definitely going to do it again next year :')
I love the splat sound effect whenever they touch an instrument in an ungodly manner.
When your school doesn't even have a pit so everyone is squished between the first row and the stage
Damn :
I got smacked in the face with a menorah
Leo’s Music Room ouch...
Did it fall from the stage or...?
Nabucco or La Juive?
Had a plastic apple fall in once. It was so funny we decided to make t part of the act
Lmaoooo how?!
No. 17: missing their cues when it's their time to play because of the other 16 things! Hilarious video, guys!
As a horn player, number nine is my life. I usually have to make hand signals to my violinist friend from across the pit to get an answer.
My director for my high school's pit orchestra told us that he once saw a trumpet player in a pit entirely disassemble his instrument, clean it, adjust it, and put it back together just in time for his solo. He had it timed down to the measure!
I'm in pit for the musical at my hs every year (we have a really good music department so our musicals are very impressive) and one of my favorite stories to tell is this:
My freshman year we did Shrek (which did involve an awful amount of trying, AND FAILING, not to laugh), and the two trumpets and one of the trombones, who were all guys (the other trombone didn't participate because she was Responsible), had a stash of cookies back there. I never actually saw it even though I did have to crawl back there occasionally to grab a water bottle out of the huge bin that was behind them, but it included a lot of fortune cookies and probably a couple boxes of cupcakes and other cookies they snagged from the musical brunch or something. Anyway, our conductor had been getting on the first trumpet's case a lot for moving out of the window he'd created so he could see him, and one rehearsal fairly close to opening night our conductor turns to look at the first trumpet - whose mouth was ridiculously full of cookie.
Obviously our conductor gets mad because we are NOT allowed to have food in the pit. He's like "WHAT ARE YOU EATING????" and the first trumpet can't talk because of how full his mouth is. Our conductor goes on at him for a little, you know, like "I TOLD YOU YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE FOOD IN HERE!!!!!!" and stuff, and of course, in response to this, the second trumpet and first trombone both shove cookies into their mouths. Our conductor's reaction was basically the surprised pikachu meme. It was pretty great.
So yeah that's the story of how my freshman year the brass got their pit cookie stash confiscated.
My school doesn't have any stringed instruments except for a fUcK ton of guitars, a couple bass guitars, I think a few ukuleles, and one double bass I don't think anyone's allowed to use(how they got a double bass and not a cello or a beginner $200 violin is beyond me).
We don't really have orchestra, our musicals are decent I guess, and we have an acapella group I think.
Please kidnap me and get me enrolled in your wonderful school.
Better than Wish edition of recorder for everyone to use without cleaning it.
They got doubloons too?
bruh my hs has a musical every year too and i joined pit for the first time just bc the musical was spongebob this year and i sat like right in front of the conductor and would eat all the time lmaooooo
As someone who used to be in performing arts I can confirm this happens every time we wait backstage . 😂 the most hilarious one in my experience was trying to make a tower of stage props or how far we can push the limit of edging towards the stage before we get caught 😂
shizuko ZX we had a backstage silent sing a long to the lion sleeps tonight with movements and mime clicks. This was going on until the last syllable of our cue
BlueChord 😂 beautiful
#15 is exclusive to strings though unfortunately. Us tuba players just leave the hall and come back. Nobody notices anyways
Yah... All winds wish we could eat.
Micah Anderson facts.
In a show I did the tuba player had both the tuba and trombone 2 parts. He also had a role in the play (including a full song/dance) that more or less worked with his tacets.
Sam W We normally have to play multiple parts either the bass trombone if available or the second trombone part or sometimes even double bass per the conductors instruction
Substitoad Nope. In orchestra the percussionists basically never even play anything. If we just ran off the and never return then nobody’s even notice.
Yes. All those poor string players. Who don’t have to count 400 million measures of rest. AND WHO CAN EAT WITH OUT BLowing stuff into their instrument. Those poor poor string players...
CrystalPhoenix 547 I’m not a wind instrument player or part of strings but I’m part of percussion. And all I can say is, boi stop complaining who tf would even eat while playing and counting is much easier than playing in my opinion.
I mean our 9 hour practices before shows kinda gets ya hungry in the middle. And as both a bari sax player and a clarinet, more often than not its easier to play parts cause bass lines have really weird counting structures that you gotta think much more about and are easy to get lost on.
What's the song at 1:00?
When i get asked why i chose my instrument I literally said "bc I can eat while playing". Can't relate lol sucks for uuuuu
Lol
Can confirm. Was a percussionist for a pit orchestra. Snare drums make amazing card tables.
Have done all of these, would do again.
The percussionist who has to remember when to use each of the 27 sound effects/instruments. And has to improv some vocal percussion when one of the instruments is lost
Respect
This is why I quit percussion
OMG one time the percussionist forgot to bring the maracas and the conductor realized last minute so he ended up saying, "ch ch ch," really loudly because it was an important part in the music. I was on stage and I've never had to work harder to keep a straight face.
"Sound effects"?
15 should be changed to “flexing on the wind players”
eddy: offers brett a pretzel
brett: *just sticks his nose in the bag*
Okay, so, i did lighting for a few shows my school put on and for musicals we’d have our band and orchestra in the pit. For high school, they didnt out me in orchestra like I asked and like a baby frsshman I didnt ask about it and went on not playing for high school.But that meant I didnt go down there. On the night of our last show, all tech ppl were playing hide amd seek beforehand and like 4 of us hid down there and I found so many phone chargers, empty cans of soda, bags of chips, cereal, and a damn can of almost gone soup. And I believe like 2 pillows and a blamket😂
Pit people really be out here thriving😂
My friend was brass in this mostly string related thing so he was just eating and chilling while I was dying cause I'm playing the cello
Stopping other players from eating from your giant bag of food that you brought
0:07 Eddy: this sheet is so sad, let's invent something new
Brett: what about singing/acting weirdly?
Eddy: great idea!!!
Da Coco Nut Nut whats the song?
Stage fog in half the room
Brett and Eddy:
Stage fog fills another cubic centimetre:
Brett and Eddy: suddenly and simultaneously both start coughing violently
Me an my boyfriend where stand partners in the pit doing swan lake. And during the rests we ate trail mix and watched twoset.
Queen Of the Night Aria was as accurate as ever.
One time my friend on stage and I had a specific scene where we secretly played rock paper scissors every performance.
I’m doing a double program (classical guitar and theater), and I can tell you, if there’s one thing actors and musicians have in common, it’s the amount of dumbassery that happens in the pit or backstage/makeup and dress up rooms
Once some guy in the trumpet section ordered pizza for the entire pit
Best pit experience ever
Lmao I just rlly wanna go in the pit now lol
"Brass/percussion who's been tacet for 300 bars" LOL
omg I died that is great
I used to pity the orchestra in the pit, but now that I see it's an absolute rave I'm cool with it.
2:10 Brett is me on a diet
*turns on captions*
Me: *cant stop laughin*😂😂😂
Salute to the person who made these subtitles😎🙌🙋😂
Stage smoke = yes
but it's too dark to read :(
#13... Playing an entire piece upbow
One time, during an especially long tacet, we snuck out for sandwiches next door...
It's too dark to read the map
Silent Hill 2 reference
*the content we all signed up for.*
For this music camp i went to pre-covid, there was these plays at the last two days of the camp that everyone had to do. If you weren't in one of the plays, then you'd be down in the pit. During the second day, I was in the pit and there was a part where only the clarinets played. Lo and behold, during our ONE SOLO OF THE ENTIRE DAY, this group of people were dancing over a section of the pit (there was a wooden roof thing cause the stage was sorta small) and dropped all this GLITTER onto everyone in the pit. Most of us clarinettists started either choking on glitter and trying to not get it in our clarinets. After the play, our conductor started yelling at the dancers lol. Apparently the most of the glitter on these props they were using got shaken off and fell in the pit.
Oh, and, they were dancing on they roof so a lot of people kept losing count during rehearsals so we barely made it through the concert XD
1:04 YES. I once had time to go out of the pit ( during rehersals), tall to the actors backstage, go to the washroom, and get myself an aero bar before I got back to the pit with 50 more bars of rest.
0:36 honestly me and my friends during class tho 😂
Ari IsAwesome haha
Zoe 000 *MY FRIENDS AND I
I have done a lot of that. Our orchestra behind the scenes is just wild.
I played in a pit for community theater/orchestra. this is totally spot on. There were a few shows where things would get thrown across stage and it was very important to watch the conductor during those parts cause if her eyes got really big, it meant something pointy/heavy/unplesant was probably going to fall into the pit.
2:16 i’m literally eating the same brand of pretzels as them 😂😂
I used to run the green room bar for a local amateur theatre company, the trombonist was *always* the first of the musicians to the bar at interval and end of show 🤣😎
I'm a trombonist and can confirm, in a lot of pieces we don't have to play. Also the trombonist are probably the biggest alcoholics of the orchestra.
Would confirm, but I'm too drunk. Tromboning all these ladies after the show
When our university wind symphony plays for the graduation ceremonies, the rule is be quiet but basically anything is fair game. My favorite thing was the people who brought nintendo DSs and Switches and were just playing those together the entire time. We literally would play for 10 mins at the beginning and 5 mins at the end and we'd have a whole 3hr ceremony with nothing to do. But we got paid, so it was worth it.
A easy guide to playing instruments:
Brass: blow into a chunk of metal and make it sound good
Strings: make an overpriced piece of wood with strings sound good by sliding a overpriced wooden stick over it
Woodwind: blow into a pipe and make it sound good
Percussion: hit stuff with sticks and make it sound good
Piano: delicately slap inedible black and white candy bars and make it sound good
(As someone who plays piano)
Brass should be the following (I'm a trumpet player): Blow a raspberry into a 50 meter long tube of metal
@@LOLlol-hy4co this is so true (I play the French horn) and my friends telling the secondary 1 that instruments are just give the instrument a bl**job (not writing the full word, please don't report me)
Harp: Running your fingers along a multitude of strings and make it sound good.
@@zelbarbero YES!!!!’
honestly, I do more socializing in the pit then I do in the rest of my life.
OMG you guys should do a quiz that decides which instrument you should play. Could be a viola you never know 😏😏
1:24 when you bite down on something cold
In Finland brass players go to sauna during tacet :D
I’m really sad because my art school put on Addams family this year and I got picked to be the cellist in the pit, but because of covid-19 it was cancelled. :(
I’m not a classical musician so whenever you say pit I imagine you in the mosh pit of a metal concert
That's sacreligeous
IrokoSalei lol, indeed... very sacrilegious...
Now THAT would be fun
ME! 😂
I thought they were talking about pit as in front Ensemble in marching band for percussion. I was like "wait those arent marimbas..."
Correction:
10. Watching TwoSetViolin Videos
0:12 that happened to me, but I play a wind instrument so...
Clarinet with me. I can relate. Not good.
I blew the fog and played with it lmao XD I’m in the youth orchestra, messing around lol XDDD
Nothing like a bit of Wagnerian fog, as a Brass and Wind player!
Don’t worry, only 14 more hours to go!
Gbb
@@mogmason6920 I saw a comment saying it's Das Rheingold, but I'm not 100% certain. If yes, may I know which part?
Also, do you know the music @ 0:49 & @ 1:13?
I’d always see a couple sax kids playing smash during a dress rehearsal
1:23 this is what all pit musicians do: watch twosetviolin
Next time I got to opera, I just wanna vibe down in the pit with the orchestra
No one:
The subtitles: * sipipipipipip *
There's usually a guy with vodka in a water bottle, or a girl with a starbucks mug full of irish coffee.
I’m a dancer and I sometimes dance with a live orchestra in the pit and it’s so interesting seeing what’s going on right underneath me and my friends when we dance
0:31 when your mum says she wants you to play the viola and not the violin.
what a great thumbnail
What kind of mother would do that
Alysia Burrows 2
0:31 Or when she says she wants you to become a doctor or an engineer and not a musician
im obviously the doodle one... i love drawing so much that my whole accolay concerto is covered with doodles
I work on the stage but I constantly see people in the pit doing work during intermission😂
you can do so much in the hard ball inside a cherry
My first pit experience was a the low brass book in a high school production of Mary Poppins. Like 5 instruments, but still had time to do all the shenanigans. Another time in the South Pacific pit the trumpet player I was sitting next to looked at me, reached down and grabbed a beer out of a cooler he had at his feet and like a pound bag of m&m’s. Damn, pit is so fun...
Number 6 is so freaking true for French Horns in Mozart's Early Operas
0:26: our entire brass section at every rehearsal
When you’re a pianist fighting for a position in the pit and failing
Carolyn Leung For me, true story every time. Also, the moment when as a pianist, you realize balance with the rest of the orchestra is a real issue.
My high school band director caved one year and finally allowed us to have our phones/books/entertainment at graduation. We play in the very beginning and at the very end, with at least an hour in between just sitting in the sun. I listened to an audiobook and my stand partner and his neighbor watched basketball. Good times.
There was one scene where we didn’t have to play, It was so funny and everyone else in the orchestra looked so serious and I was CHOKING of laughter. the scene was deleted from the script the next day 😂😂
As an actor, I do #1 backstage too.
When you spend 3 months rehearsing the same show over and over again you start to memorize other people's lines and songs.
No. 17. Switching from a B natural
... to a B flat
Interesting
Next video: 19 Things musicians talk about
edit: im bad at making jokes so this is the most likes i got
"I hate being in an orchestra, I only have whole rests all throughout the piece" - Musician that plays trombone
That would be awesome
Ling Ling
@@dacoconutnut9503 ok but that's what a trombonist literally said during a rehearsal once.
"I have a 200 measure rest" - said trombonist
How you can get to BBC news for being the world's fastest violinist without hitting a single right note and getting away with it by saying "If you can play it slow, you can play it fast."
I remember the guys in the pit band doing an interview when A Chorus Line became the longest running show on Broadway, and the same guys had been in the band pretty much the entire time, for decades. They talked about how they could read the New York Times cover to cover *while playing the show* (not during breaks) because they knew it so well by that point. They'd buy one copy of the paper, and then split it up into sections and rotate it from section to section. (It only just now occurred to me to wonder what did they read in the second show on matinee days when they had two shows...?)
My most fun pit experience was when there was some smoke effects that covered the stage and also our lil musician hole. Couldn’t see in front of my face let alone the music or conductor. Didn’t mind though as I found it fun.
I have played in exactly one orchestra that was in a pit, and all of these happened
17) decorating the pit
Man i wish i had pit everyday tbh rip
When Eddy went to whisper in Brett's ear I legit thought he was going to kiss him lmao
I love playing in pit! I’m totally the person who mouths along with half the lines. It keeps me from getting lost/distracted.
