my band director: *lecturing all of us about how irresponsible we are with our music and don't take band seriously*

also me: man look at the Bad Students who are bringing down the band, i am most definetly not Part Of The Problem

happy hell week everyone :)

Solo and ensemble but you have to wake up at 5 in the morning on a Saturday to drive half an hour away because your solo is at 8 in the morning, but then your trio is at 11:40 and you have to sit there for three and a half hours waiting.

You get two superior ratings, but you are so tired.

Hi so our new marching show came out and as much as I am PUMPED to be playing Fall Out Boy

What the actual fuck man. Listen I play trumpet but I know I'm not a god.

My ex-clarinetist brother has just picked up french horn, and within the span of two days he has broken the string on one on the valves.

I just got really confused cause my new solo is written in Bb trumpet music and the video online is in C trumpet and I was like "they look different why do they sound the same tf"

Everytime someone is like "ALL THE TRUMPETS ARE GON BE SO UPSET" I get hella confused. I'm like "I'm not???" And then "OH you mean the trump supporters gotcha"

Tfw you get self conscious bcuz you have to share a stand and your partner can see your music and what you have (havent) written on it

"Trumpet players are just frustrated percussionists."

-Our High Brass director

The music of the tenor sax next to me pt 1

And yes this will be used during our show

After years of being told off for my instrument choice because "trumpet is the easiest instrument" and "I can play taps trumpet is super easy" and even "I played some notes as a boy scout it was very easy"

I have come to a standpoint.

Yes, trumpet is easy to play, but trumpet is very hard to be good at.
