My orchestra teacher had a really old violin that broke but you can put it together so it can stay a little so everybody was taking and then he said “IM SO SICK AND TIERED OF THIS TALKING” then picked up the broken violin and ‘broke it in two’ he whole room was silent for like 3 minutes till he screamed APRIL FOOLS
Reminds me of senior year choir... One of the girls who played the piano had found a few old piano parts & brought in a few old keys and told us what she wanted to do. Our teacher got up in front of the room & got us all settled in then started us off with the usual request for the piano players to "Give me a C" The girl with the old piano keys got up and, without a word, walked halfway across the room and handed one of the keys to our puzzled teacher. It took a moment for her to recognize what she'd just been handed, and then the panic set in. We all had a grand old time that morning... (even the teacher appreciated the joke... MUCH later...) :-)
I am probably your concertmaster's age, and I have to say that it's one of the BEST April Fool's jokes I've ever seen! When the violin went flying, I cringed, thought maybe someone ought to get a "real" grown-up (as I thought he was throwing a real two-year-old sort of tantrum), and began to plan the violin's funeral with full 21 gun salute in honor of its untimely death. Great job, guys!
I know I'm late seeing this video, after all I only found it in 2018. But!! What a wonderful orchestra teacher! Not that my own teacher was bad, she was great, albeit, that was back in '78. Mr. Tolias should be given kudos for showing what a teacher should be: FUN!!
BritishTexan my HS class, 1974 had such a director. He was Mr Rauso, and directed marching band (We were terrific- much better than the actual football team!) and orchestra and on stage band, and even a Jazz band. Years after I left high school, I realized the PATIENCE, dedication and humor that good music teachers have....By the way, a guy named Rich and I carried the French horn section for like, over 5 years and he and I both now have hearing loss- nothing serious, and we don't know if all those rehearsals contributed....maybe?
Lol my teacher did this but he didn’t throw a violin he just gave like 5 kids referrals and one of the “actors” was laughing but it looked like she was crying so we were very confused.
I regularly tap the stand or click my fingers so my students have an idea to the beat - not all of them watch the white stick. Once they’re used to the tempo I work on the music.
I believe the modern conductor's baton developed from a huge cane that the conductor used to tap on the ground to give the beat (16th or 17th century). Maybe I am the victim of another april fool's joke, though. Anybody know better?
I recognized the song they were playing at about 3:00 instantly. I didn't even need them to keep going, I instantly knew it was the amazing Jupiter! Woo!
Scene: in the car Me: switches radio to **billie eilish** Mom: **switches it to classical music** Me: **switches it to wii song but an orchestra cover** Me:look what you raised
It would have helped if there was some sort of explanation or context in the description. There are lots of names being mentioned without any explanation of who they are or which is which. Who is "Mr Tolias"? Why is it assumed that we know?
John Cartwright Mr. Tolias is obviously the conductor and his "prank accompanist" is James or the guy who got his violin smashed. Basically they pranked the whole orchestra
Oh wait, I think I know what happened. The kid couldn’t play it because it was fake, and the prank was that the conductor knew and didn’t tell the kid.
Don't feel bad, even my dog got so bored. This is one of those vids you'll find out later when they apply for job and search for their names in ALL platform.

You could say that prank was really well orchestrated
Ba-dum tssssssss
I got a heart attack when he threw the fake violin

Me too
Lauren,me too
I was like “ what the fuk”
Then how are you still alive
ikr it should have been a real viola 😡
i thought it was normal too- lol-
but the breaking of violins i would've been pissed at, especially since i have no insurance on my violin
Thank god, it was a fake violin.
Human Melz Isi
I was about to cry about it
Like wtf
When you don't have that insurance money

I have a broken clarinet that I really want to do this with....
_looks excitedly at the broken classical guitar in the club storage room_
Now that's a director I'd like to have.
I saw a video of that on RUclips I think, when everyone was silent did someone say oh my god?
@@Joe-km5ou Oh? You broke my violin? Instead of punishing me you've broken my violin?

Hilarious...sounds like a level headed teacher!
It starts at 4:40 guys! Thank me later!
ty

Not roaring with delight...
THANK YOU!
Please tell me what started after4:40 as nothing happened after untill after 6:08 ????? on my feed.
Both the teacher and the students will never forget this for the rest of their life's. We all had the one teacher we will never forget.

@my candy review...
haha me neither! I had to go dig through a bunch of comments to figure it out! >.
same
Try being late 2022??!!
I thought the joke was their bad playing....
A long shot where the joke is based on someone having their back to the camera doesn't really do it for me .
Jacob Kilgore I wanna see you play.
You seem like a really nice person🖕
Jacob Kilgore boi u xant play one so shut up
izBeau77 haha
For everyone asking what the piece was, it was Darude - Sandstorm
God no whyyyyy
The first piece they started playing was Jupiter bringer of jollity by Gustav Holst.
Azarius it was Jupiter by Gustavo Holst
I don’t see anyone asking that
It was jupiter: the planets by gustav holst
Well that was "violin"t!
LOL
I hate you....
But still funny
l m a o
Chandler Menard Put away the electronics and go outside. Thank you.
Chandler Menard bahaha 😂😂
Lol my teacher did this but he didn’t throw a violin he just gave like 5 kids referrals and one of the “actors” was laughing but it looked like she was crying so we were very confused.
jupiter by holst
8K8 hi
how you gone play moonlight sonata on what should be one of *the most lighthearted and funny videos*
1:04 that jump tho
hahahah
Sorry but if a conductor constantly beats time with his baton on the stand it's him that's the joke.
Sometimes its good for practice to help everyone hear the beat
Spoken like someone who probably hasn't ever worked with a high school group.
I regularly tap the stand or click my fingers so my students have an idea to the beat - not all of them watch the white stick. Once they’re used to the tempo I work on the music.
I believe the modern conductor's baton developed from a huge cane that the conductor used to tap on the ground to give the beat (16th or 17th century). Maybe I am the victim of another april fool's joke, though. Anybody know better?
So either you haven't been in a advanced orchestra or something because our conductor does this
“Was just glad he wasn’t yelling at the cellos” MEEEEE lol
I recognized the song they were playing at about 3:00 instantly. I didn't even need them to keep going, I instantly knew it was the amazing Jupiter! Woo!
Teacher: "Are you going to play today?"
Me: "I dunno. Depends on what the sheet music calls for."
“Mrigank was glad he wasn’t yelling at the cellos” I relate
The song they were playing is names JUPITER by G. Holst
Your bitter sarcasm cannot make Bruce Lee cry
Violin=good
Viola=good
Everyone=good
This channel=good
Hotel=trivago
10/10
Scene: in the car
Me: switches radio to **billie eilish**
Mom: **switches it to classical music**
Me: **switches it to wii song but an orchestra cover**
Me:look what you raised
This beat the Hell out of the time we pranked our director by playing Smoke On The Water instead of Edelweiss.
That would've been awesome!
Omg! I'm playing this song for orchestraaaa! My teacher would get so irradiated if we did this🤣
7 minutes and 59 seconds of my life I will NEVER GET BACK.
I would've been one of those that would be shocked and had been worried about his violin.
They really didn’t know how to react.
That awkward laughter was...rough
a typical Day in orcheatra
*piano starts playing*
piece they were playing was "Jupiter" by Gustav Holst
They’re playing Jupiter the bringer of Jollity. Good song
But James' violin!?!
That part to was too painful t watch...
Did anyone else notice the hugging everyone?
Gotta love hearing it in 1 ear
Omg any orchestra teacher would flip out over that violin or viola (whatever it was) if it was real.
Bayfrex violin violas don’t get to sit first chair
Those chairs......
"Kevin thought it was normal" 😂😂😂😂
Not him asking them if they knew it was a joke because nobody laughed 💀
*Plot twist* he grabbed the wrong kids violin
"Mrigank was glad he wasn't yelling at the cellos" XD
I had every idea what was going on thanks to the title
0:51
My sarcastic teacher be like:
Conductor: *throws the violin at the ground*
My teacher: Is the floor okay?
Jupiter by Gustav Holst
It would have helped if there was some sort of explanation or context in the description. There are lots of names being mentioned without any explanation of who they are or which is which. Who is "Mr Tolias"? Why is it assumed that we know?
John Cartwright
Mr. Tolias is obviously the conductor and his "prank accompanist" is James or the guy who got his violin smashed. Basically they pranked the whole orchestra
It's the conductor!!!! Duh!
The video was obviously made for their orchestra specifically and not outsiders.
Should be in a wait for it compilation.
Those chairs tho
for everyone asking, the piece is all star by smash mouth
Gustav Holtz, the Planets mvt.
Pretty advanced repertoire for high school. Congratulations!
OH MY GOSH that scared the crap out of me! That poor baby!
Christ, that's a difficult song! I envy you guys!
thanks for the prank upload
I once had a band director who, during the middle of us being judged during a song, mimed shooting herself in the head when we messed up.
Once had a teacher who slammed somebody's clarinet into the wall because they put it on the ground
Moonlight Sonata Mov. I - Beethoven
My mom's favorite
thanks I thought it was the 3rd movement lol
Ricardo -let it go...their comment is 2 years old lol
Ricardo You’d know if it was the third movement ;)
Justin Patillo *smashes violin*
YOU HAVIN A PARTY HERE!?😠
yes sir we are😐
O.....OK😠😑😐
And to this day they are still finding bits of the fake violin
my left ear enjoyed this video
they sound really good
I physically winced when he threw the fake violin.
That hurt my soul.
5:00 BTW lol it's the conductor who's playing the joke
That's a first
but the violin....
Of course Kevin thought it was normal
I would have been like “So you’re repairing my instrument.. right..?”
my left ear was having a wonderful time.
The Planets is a pretty tall order for a high school orchestra.
3:06 best response and awesome class prank you guys. You did so it so well.
*almost clicks out of video*
*hears jupiter*
Okay I’ll stay a little longer
I watched to the end.... nice ending with class guys :)
Oh wait, I think I know what happened. The kid couldn’t play it because it was fake, and the prank was that the conductor knew and didn’t tell the kid.
My Strad. is crying with relief….
I remember that relax music back in China. All em memories
And Kevin thought it was normal
This is Gustav Holst the Planets they try to play. Nr 4. Jupiter.
The cake should've exploded. Now that would've been funny!! Now before you start, not violent enough to hurt anyone, just enough to make a mess.
This guy seams like a tribble teacher
I guess you could say this prank was pretty ORCHESTRATED, ha ha ha okay i'll go now.
Am I the only one that wants to know what piece they’re rehearsing? It sounds dope
Gustav Holst - Jupiter
wish it was louder. i was pretty made when that violin was thrown.
Jupiter! The Planets! Gustav Holst!
The poor guys reaction to his instrument being broken xD
my left ear is laughing
YES PUT THOSE STUDENTS ON BLAST AT THE END
Wait who is pranking who? I got confused XD
Louisa danczy Its mr Tolias and James pranking the rest
Don't feel bad, even my dog got so bored. This is one of those vids you'll find out later when they apply for job and search for their names in ALL platform.
Louisa danczy james
aso it was a bad prank
This is the songs mars
My band plays Primordium which is based off of this song
OH YES JUPITER IS MY TUNE YAAAAASSSSS
I tough they where gonna play "when mama isnt home"
I love baroque-en violins...get it?
What if that guy had saved up for years and that was an authentic Del Gesu or something? Dangerous joke
XD! OMG this would have made me so scared. I would have been about to cry
they were in shock!
Ummm...i wish my director would try to throw my violin across the room -.-
I can't be sure what the whole thing we about. Nothing seemed to happening but that was truly pitiful orchestra.
Fucking love the moonlight sonata
When he threw the violin I laughed...
First thought was "Pines of Rome - Respighi" and then I realized I was wrong. Jupiter by Gustav Holst is correct.
you should hear the Portsmouth symphony only on you tube.
I know this was a prank, but as a violinist this made me wince
It made me wince, too, and I'm just the stage manager for our community orchestra. But I'm sharing this to our conductor.
as a viola player , it made me wince
Not gonna lie if it wasn't a prank i would not have broken the instrument but i would be pissed they didn't sound to good
