    I quit band in seventh grade, but I remember it well, and this video is so nostalgic. The parts with saying to tiptoe over the cases and with the brass blasting were most memorable, not gonna lie. I played in brass, and my eardrums would be lucky if they weren’t bleeding at the end of the lesson because I was right near the tubas just trying to quietly play my euphonium.

    The only problem with having a trumpet is I can't assemble my instrument incorrectly. I remember one kid put a penny in his alto sax when we were warning up for our concert that night and it came out while we were playing and our band teacher said, "I don't know who that was but parents one of your kid is making money!" We all found it funny and the kid had forgotten he put it in there. Ahh good times. Also 3:52 headphones users beware.

    And the time in 7th grade a different band director had to teach my class bc our band director wasn’t here, actually played this electric piano to how he felt.
    It isn’t the best thinking about this when your playing something Samba Le Le. 🤣🤣

    This kid in my band class recently switched to bass clarinet and so whenever he messes up we always have to restart so he can get it right. The thing is, he always messes up when I, as a flute, have 11 measures of rest.
