DAMN BRAVE

DAMN BADASS

BRAVO DREAMWORKS

FOUR FOR YOU DREAMWORKS

YOU FORGOT THE SASSIEST OF THE DREAMWORKS LADIES

i thought you meant the fish was sexy and i’ve been crying for like three minutes over sexy dreamworks fish i hate America

Fun Story: My director kept telling me and my tenor sax buddy to play softer. No matter what we did, it wasn’t soft enough for him. So getting frustrated, I told my buddy “Dont play this time. Just fake it” 

Our Band Director then informed us we sounded perfect. 

To my readers: “p” means quiet, “pp” means really quiet. I’ve never seen “pppp” before haha.

On the contrast, “f” means loud, and “ffff” probably means so loud you go unconscious.

I had ffff in a piece once and my conductor told me to play as loudly as physically possible without falling off my chair…

Me and my trombone buddies had “ffff” and he sat next to me and played so hard that he fell out of his chair.

The lengths we go for music.

Okay yeah so I play the bass clarinet and the amount of air you have to move and the stiffness of the reed means it only has two settings and that is loud and louder, with an optional LOUDEST that includes a 50% probability of HORRIBLE CROAKING NOISE which is the bass equivalent of the ubiquitous clarinet shriek.

One day, when I was in concert band in high school, we got a new piece handed out for the first time, and there was a strange little commotion back in the tuba section — whispering, and pointing at something in the music, and swatting at each other’s hands all shhh don’t call attention to it. And although they did attract the attention of basically everyone else in the band, they managed to avoid being noticed by the band director, who gave us a few minutes to look over our parts and then said, “All right, let’s run through it up to section A.”

And here we are, cheerfully playing along, sounding reasonably competent — but everyone, when they have the attention to spare, is keeping an eye on the tuba players. They don’t come in for the first eight measures or so, and then when they do come in, what we see is:

[stifled giggling]

[reeeeeeally deep breath]

[COLOSSAL FOGHORN NOISE]

The entire band stops dead, in the cacophonous kind of way that a band stops when it hasn’t actually been cued to stop. The band director doesn’t even say anything, just looks straight back at the tubas and makes a helpless sort of why gesture.

In unison, the tuba players defend themselves: “THERE WERE FOUR F’S.”

FFFF is not really a rational dynamic marking for any instrument, but for the love of all that is holy why would you put it in a tuba part.

This is the best band post 

Everyone else go home

Oh man, so I play trombone, and we got this piece called Florentiner Marsch by Julius Fucik, and we saw this

Pyrozod’s tags for this were too hilarious not to share

I haven’t been in band for years but this made me laugh so hard

I haven’t seen this post in ages and I’m dying of laughter

I didn’t think it could get better after The Foghorn Tuba Story, but it did. It got better. Bless you, MusicTumblr.

it is the chosen one

it must be the main character in the anime

It got funnier when I realized just how many tulips are in this picture.

“In a world where tulips were yellow, one dared to be different…”

Every spring this picture comes back around and every spring I crack up

at first you just see the row of tulips in the foreground, and it’s funny

then you see the rows stretching back for yards and yards, and it’s even funnier

DO YOU EVER FEEL LIKE YOU ARE THAT TULIP

It has been 365 days of Pride

It’s June 26, 2016 2:51am EST in the USA. A year ago today love won in the US. It’s officially been 365 days of LGBT+ couples receiving their marriage license. It’s been 365 days of wedding planning. It’s been 365 days of someone’s fairytale coming true. It’s been 365 days of coming out. It’s been 365 days of rejection and acceptance. It’s been 365 days of joy. And of victory. Yet it has been 365 days of protest. It’s 365 of grief. It’s been 365 days of struggle. 365 days of heartbreak. And of fear. But today we celebrate because on June 26, 2015 the LGTB+ community was brought to the front focus. People finally see us! Congratulations LGBT+ community. We are a large group of loving, caring, crazy, accepting, friendly, tolerant, opinionated, and beautiful people. Today we celebrate because we can! Happy Pride & Happy Gay Day!! ❤🌈❤
