You can only post this once a year

Trick or treat!!!

Treat

Your treat is a boop!

BOOP!!!!!!!!

I often am walking past someone I know from band in the hallway and slide to keep facing them

Roll-stepping through the halls so my shoes don't squeak (it was raining)

Why would I lie to you?

If our band director doesn’t stop us we’ll probably be having weekly chair challenges unless we can challenge right after a challenge and then it’ll be each class

hey y’all take my marching band uquiz

I am not your flute nemesis named Amanda

reblog if your name isn't Amanda.

2,121,566 people are not Amanda and counting!

We’ll find you Amanda.

You learn how they tick so then you can press buttons like how we bully our band director about the hole he put in the ceiling while tossing cup mutes to the trumpets shortly after we were back in the new room after the school got remodeled. We just point up at the hole every time he tosses something in class and he says he’s planning on getting on a ladder to use white marker or something since he thinks it’s a smudge or something while we’re all pretty sure it’s an actual hole.

the thing nobody here really talks about is how easily students can read their director, particularly if the director is considered good.

Because band students spend so long trying to learn all the visual cues during a concert that every single quirk and oddity of the director gets filed away for later use.

Half of rehearsal time is spent privately figuring out that a raised eyebrow in a certain direction means that the band is slowing down unintentionally, or figuring out that wide eyes means someone done fucked up.

Taking this out of rehearsal means that you eventually learn that an eyebrow twitch means the director is getting annoyed by another person and needs leadership to come up with a problem to save him. A half smile means “good job”, but a half smile plus a raised eyebrow means “hah I’m teasing you about this for the rest of your life here”.

Idk something about how every ensemble, no matter how big, will always know what their doctor is feeling with a quick glance At least, if the director is good

Don’t die your marching band will need their badass tenor sax

Imagine getting covid and pneumonia at the same time.... Couldn't be me.....

Do you realize these are in the main body not the tags

Get jolly with it
