Things that make your band directors cringe: 1. -forgetting your instrument so you don’t have to play for the 50th time- leaving your instrument at home after practicing over the weekend

I was about to comment, As A Percussionist, I Can’t Relate then i saw the part about the stands

Yes, I also dislike it when my flute spontaneously turns into a clarinet .

You forgot the part when people learn to play a meme and they blast that and only that every morning

This needs to be shown to beginning bands at the start of each school year

You forgot the saxes playing Careless whisper non stop

As a flute player, the flute part made me realize that I wasn’t the only one doing all this

Actual quote from my high school band teacher today: “What you just played was the oral equivalent of licking a cat” -Mr. [CENSORED] 2020

At 0:43 I quite honestly felt attacked

Me: *Empties my spit* Band director: … The girl clarinet and flute players: EWWWWWWWWWWWW

My Band Directors don’t cringe, they get mad.

Or when people leave food in the locker room, causing a cockroach infestation.

0:00 What if he’s just playing the Bb Mixolydian scale?

😂😂😂😂😂 I’ve told my 5-8 graders that if they are caught doing the mouthpiece thing you did at the end I WILL NOT attempt to remove it when it gets stuck. I have 4 6th grade trombone players that ALL leave their instrument on their chair like that...I hate it. And percussion, well...I guess we could be grateful the percussion music was even in a binder! 😆😆😆😆 Keep making more, me and my students love them!!!

Me as the only French horn in our band All of the other girls hate me for some reason All I did was empty my spit out in front of them!!!!

At first I was like “good I don’t do any of those” and right when I thought it was over, he tapped his mouthpiece in the instrument...

i was just sitting in class with my trumpet Then... I JUST SEE A HAND THUNKING MY MOUTHPIECE?????????????????????

Ngl I'm guilty of knocking down stand on accident

Funny thing about the destroyed sheet music and folder My band director actually liked when he saw that. His logic was that the more destroyed the folder is, the more we bring it home and practice and he wanted us to practice 😂 He'd say "if your folder and music are in great condition that means you never touch it!"

Me: okay I haven't been in band in over a decade so I probably can't relate... This video as soon as the messy folder is shown: does THIS bring you back??? Me, catatonically cringing: oh yeah.... Middle School was a trip

Why is this actually relatable.

is it bad that i’m in highschool and do all of the flute things🤭 (except the locker one)

I cringed this whole vid lmao I'm not a band director I'm a flutist

We watched this in class and right at :59 everyone looked at me because my instrument was sitting there like that

Why would directors be annoyed by the B-Flat Mixolydian scale?

Oh the fun things that await me in the near future as a director.

I’ve always licked my clarinet’s reed when it’s on the clarinet XD

0:58 I just moved schools, and I see EVERYONE DO THIS.

1:09 I feel personally attacked cause I literally do this all the time

I sit in front of the trumpets and French horns, and the class was decently quiet until I hear what sounds like liquid splattering on the carpet for a good 30 seconds. I look back and see a literal waterfall being emptied out of the spit valve; ONTO THE FLOOR 😭

0:58 How dare you call me out on such a thing... *that I totally haven’t done..*

You forgot when you forget to play accidentals, then you say you played the note correctly and the band director double, triple checks their page

Put the flute down put the flute down put the flute down-

I legit yelled when i saw him smashing the mouthpiece in at the end of the video.

Nobody: Literally nobody: Jury: Guilty is charged

why am I here I’m in orchestra 🤠

As a clarinet player, I was so triggered by this...

Somebody was chewing gum in my class while playing baratone. They got kicked out

My band teacher told us to play the right notes for the gliss, I replied “I’ll try but no promises because it’s a gliss, we hit every in its way”.

Why am I watching this? I’m not even in a band

I’m not even in band why am I watching this?

i dont do any of these i play the piano EDIT:i tried doing the flute one where he spun it around with my keyboard and it didnt go so well

As a percussionist, I can relate to anything on this list a percussionist can do. XD

Me; a choir student that’s never touched an instrument: Relatable amirite?

my band director encouraged me to put my trombone on my chair like that lol

The flute segment had me screaming at the screen. "STOP DOING THAT!!" HAHA! I'm a director...I feel your pain.

Nobody: Band directors: KeY SiGnAtUrE

me? falling down to the stands? throwing my binder to the stand as a percussionist? *nope.*

Perfect ending - "shave and a haircut, two bits!"

In band, a front row trombone had his phone on the stand and the band director walked by, smh lol. That’s not always gonna work.

Some kids tried to encourage me to do the mouthpiece thing, but I didn't, I dont know if they got their mouthpiece stuck or not

Imagine having to clean the spit out of your instrument -from the percussion gang

At the beginning my guy was just practicing his mixolydian scale nothing to worry about

This video hurt my soul

Once in my concert band, we were playing Pirates of the Caribbean and one of my band mates knocked their stand off. We still had our stand so I tried to use my foot to shift our stand for them. Then I accidentally tipped ours. My other band mate who was sharing with me put her flute down and tried to pick up the stand while I kept playing for the flutes since everyone except me was busy with the stands. (There was only 4 of us, me, my stand mate, and the other two flutists who had their stand knocked out in the first place). Everyone one in the band held it together. Barely. Including me. After the piece we burst out laughing for about the rest of the lesson. Including our teachers. Concert bands are always fun.

that part at the end- it reminds me if the first day of band when the trumpets were specifically told not to pat their mouth piece down but one of them got stuck anyway lmaoo

1:43 i feel embarrassed as to how many tikes ive done this

1:17 **pulls magnum out the case**

Every day, water pours out of my tuba like a fountain

When I saw him lick the clarinet reed, It felt like I was tasting my reed 😂😭

This is making me cringe And I'm only at the beginning I haven't even seen the trombone stuff yet...if there is any... Edit: ffs I do that all the time with my trombone...well shit

Just a question though, do I just bring my clarinet with me then or set on my chair? Also, who leaves the reed on!!?

I used to open my clarinet upside down like- every time. Now I know better.

Even after being told no to, I learned not to do the last one the hard way😭

I don’t get it. How does putting away your flute make them cringe.

1:34 trombones unite to make all of our directors cringe!!! but not really please don't break your very costly metal

Please upload more. I watched this a while back ago, just didn’t comment. *I watch all your videos the day they come out, an they’re always amazing. I can always provide ideas*

i do all that stuff with my flute 💀💀 be spinning it around like it’s a whole like saber lmfao. and when she says “point to measure blah blah” i use my flute to point 😭

1:50 AHHHHHHHHH THE DEADLY MOUTH PIECE BOP NO STTOP TORTURING MY SOUL!!!!!!! Dear beginning trumpeters PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!😣😣😣😣😣😣 Edit: do a day in the life of a marching band student!!!!

I’m in string orchestra, can’t relate.

I am indeed guilty of playing with my flute... I regret it so much because I hit it really hard on the back of our band chair and on of the keys got bent. 😭

This is the kind of video I wish I had so I could should my band director while I was still in HS... I can relate to two things in this video; (1) The trombone on the chair thing and (2) the thing at the end. The trombone thing I learned quickly not to do as soon as I left MS since I got yelled at by the Upperclassmen in my section. The thing at the end is something that almost everyone tries once to see what it actually does (the downside is when it gets stuck in your instrument (which didn't happen to me luckily) and your director is like "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA SEE I TOLD YOU NOT TO DO IT!!!")

I play saxophone so I’m not really guilty of any of these great vid

the word cringe... makes me want to cringe

OML I DO ALL OF THAT WITH MY FLUTE AND SO THATS WHY MY FLUTE HAS BROKEN 3 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS

This made me laugh so hard since I play flute and the other players and me in our section do that sometimes XD

*confused orchestral sounds

Bassoons pushing their saliva through their reeds into their instrument will it’s on their bocal.

oh god the walking into stands part is so me. i'm sorry, i'm just very clumsy

As a clarinet player my heart dropped watching the clarinet both being left in the locker together and standing by itself, no stand

Does our band teacher really hate when us trumpets hit our mouth pieces to the beat of the percussionists? Edit: I’m kidding I know he doesn’t like that 😂

And finally number 1. Trumpets existing

In 4th grade I used a clarinet as a spear and my band director yelled at me. 5 seconds later I started using it as a rocket launcher and he got even more pissed cuz I thought he meant I was restricted from using it as one specific weapon and not others

as both a flute and a trombone player, im guilty of setting my trombone on the chair, and twirling my flute as guard practice XD

day in the life of middle school bassoonist or saxophonist

I NEED to slap tumm;es. NOW.😜😳

The second to last one with the trumpet is Soo true

Our director hates it when the whole band just starts doing seven nation army

i li;ke slappin' tummies

why does bassoon have to be so difficult??????????????

I'm so guilty of spinning my flute around like that 😭😭😂

im guilty of most of these with my clarinet but you forgot the trumpet players that randomly play a note as loud as possible everyday. Ahh gotta love sitting my the trumpets & percussion

My question is, why are you still in school (Isn't it vacation?)

vro thats kinda cringe

0:58 As I flutist, I was crying inside.

Bruh that B natural hit a bad part of my soul

all of the trombones in my band put our bells on the chairs like that. there’s always one that falls over

1:31 Just when I thought I wasn't guilty of anything...

as a trombone player, I can confirm the trombone bell on the chair. I’ve always been too scared to actually set it on the chair like that, so I’d always just put it on the ground, even if it wasn’t the right way to do so.

Oh my gosh, these are so true. Even as a middle school percussionist I witness all these cringes and flaws. I even recognise my own cringes. Love from Elkhart Indiana❤
