8:20 as someone with a directors who’s main instrument is percussion, I can confirm that is how they conduct the star spangled banner(only slightly exaggerating)
literally, I march a wind instrument but I do FE for Indoor, and at competitions when they would play the audio the room would collectively go boom shhhh in all the places
Fun Fact: My band actually did play the song mentioned in the first one. One of my fellow percussionist made an arrangement of the first few measures as a little thing to play during timeouts. It sounded sick and we rehearsed it for a week or so and played it during the first game at the first timeout of the season… we got quite the talking to from admin. My favorite part is that the band directors didn’t know the song existed… they just thought it was a cool little riff made by on of their Students.
My band director lets us sit in the band room during our other classes and doesn’t care. I’m so happy to have her instead of my old middle school band director. She’s so awesome and she deserves the world. 💖💖
i may be on colorguard but my band directors still get on my nerves. they literally treat us like we are their children. luckily i’m on break so i don’t have to see them :D
I actually saw our band director at our local firehouse subs which is across the block from the high school today. I almost cried, not one likes him 😭😭.
Our band director is harsh but I get why he's like that and he knows how to have fun outside of band anyway so it's balanced But EVERY band kid is scared of my gaurd director she is not the one to mess with
Just had an invitational comp this past Saturday (oct 9, 2021) and we got first in our size! We’re a 2A school and I thought we did worse but we won! I also made a friend that day. There was a band from the next state over compete and they did Godzilla! Their guard was so cool! Also saw a band that played video game music (Skyrim, Assassin’s Creed 3, and Megalovania) and the drum majors dressed up as the mains of the first to and Sans.
Oh I think I’ve seen the video game band you’re talking about!! What’s your show about, maybe I’ve seen it?! Ours is called snow, it’s got carol of the bells and a song from the nutcracker. We competed on October 9th too, boa regionals? We got 8th 😳 I may be completely wrong (if I am I’m so sorry 😭) but I think the show that won that day was about clowns? Is that you?? Edit: Jesus I just read this and I sound really annoying, sorry
nothing can quite compare to the euphoria of getting home from a 3 hour band practice and chugging a gallon of the first liquid you find in the fridge after forgetting to bring your water bottle to practice. better than sex
bro, i can relate to the first one. we legit learned it in our low brass sectional and then asked the band director if we could play it as a low brass cheer. he agreed and we called the song soap so our spanish teacher (the most religious person on campus who would freak if she found out) would not find out.
Okay but the first year I started band went to get my instrument at the end of the day and I walked in the band room and someone immediately shouts “SACRIFICE FOUND” and I just yelled at the 8th graders to move (I was 6th grade) and they moved then I grabbed my instrument and they were in my way again so I held my instrument up and yelled move again it was very fun and I didn’t become a sacrifice which I’m sad about
aw yesss i’ve been waiting for another one of these!! i’m a drum major this year, we have our big state competition coming up in two weeks and we haven’t performed our whole show yet-
anybody else binging these at the end of the season? marching band just finished and the first years don't go in high school concert band so i have nothing to do with my time
Had rehearsal this morning And after this I HOPE I get my life together I'm missing work for English adv and Chem On-Ramps bye yall Maybe I'll be done once this is posted(in two hours) *I GOT SHIT DONE not all but alot!*
Lol is 3 years you only move up in ranks rn I'm cult enjoyer/mother of the cult rookie demon children I play trombone I think that all I got to say about what I'm like lol
16:04 Or you just have the entire cymbal line (aka me and 4 other people) aggressively demonstrating behind the front ensemble just for shits and giggles and then the band director points out our practically head banging
Today is the last time I get to play at a football game, and even though I'm a freshman and I know that I'll play for many more years, it's sad to know that you won't get to be with the seniors again
Yes,yes and yes! Love it! Also, Question for my fellow band kids out there: What is something really bad you did in band that you haven't told anyone about?
23:08 this is literally my section leader- it's my first year and they call me "child" and it's hilarious. we have the smallest section in the entire marching band (two clarinets) and that makes it even funnier
o lord homecoming weekend is coming up for me and we have to play tons of pop music for my towns parade, pep rally, and the homecoming game. the most exhausting thing -_-
Holy shit. "Not having time to eat" immediately reminded me of Junior year HS Top Jazz: we had a competition at UNLV, probably performed multiple time that day already, all EIGHT of us trumpets were completely across campus eating taco bell when we got a call from another member saying "WHERE ARE YOU GUYS?! BOWEN IS PISSED WE'RE ABOUT TO GO ON". Holllllllyyyy shit I've never seen ANY OF US RUN THAT FAST FOR THAT LONG. Bowen used to tell us "You sound like what you eat before a performance. You eat Burger King, you gon' sound like Burger King." And boy, did we sound like Taco Bell that set... Good times!
Funny thing is, in the first tik took they played industry baby and we are playing that in marching band so while the song played, I just pretended to hold my flute and do the horn moves for the song 😂
1:35 at my school, we only have 3 of those chairs and we let the best of the class use them since we only have three of them, if u get to use one, its like royalty
There's this part in one of our Christmas songs that we have to clap...and its the Mii theme song. So our low brass was like "we gotta do the song" and our band teacher was like "Aight find some music and we will do it FOR OUR SPRING CONCERT"
13:14 LOL the Trombone. In our band we just call our trombones ‘Attack Trumpets’ (like in the sense of attack helicopter) It’s the best thing ever. And I can confirm if you stub,e into the band hall they will chase you out 😂.
so im in 7th grade (i get to join marching band next year) and i always go to the football games and hang out with the band, and one time at the game the band play industry baby and it was really cool. im so excited to join marching band next year and i already know everyone and im friends with a couple people
8:43 lmao my schools varsity football team got absolutely destroyed 14-40 their first game. The band room has so many trophies in it that they’re a serious storage issue and we’re trying to decide which ones are less important and can be gotten rid of
10:44 the first football game was yesterday, we would’ve preformed all of it but pit only got movement 4 on Tuesday (3 days before it) so we would’ve been horrible so we did 47 instead of 70 something
Oh yeah! I'm in pep band (in 8th grade so not high school yet) and the high schoolers in the band played Indutry Baby and it had been the first time they had ever played it! They did really well.
So we were having a day camp one day and it was a couple minutes until we went on lunch break. Well in our show there is a half time part that is perfect place for chanting. For lunch that day Chick-fil-A was on the menu, so instead of playing, the brass started chanting “I WANT CHICK-FIL-A”
8:35 help this is so accurate😭 our football team hasn’t won a game in like 2-3 years but our marching band and colorguard have place in the top 3 at comps most of the time despite competing against bands so much bigger than ours
that band playing for the dolphins restored my faith in humanity
i thought it was a seal at first cause my headset disconected
That first song they played is Chameleon by Herbie Hancock and a bunch of other people, we played it in my Jazz Band
I swear band directors are the only cultured teacher in the school (other than some history teachers)
yep now he's hyped up to go rape some local seals
@@gbksgbks1212 I played Chameleon in my sophmore year
5:36 every band director has this exact same look of absolute disappointment and disapproval. I LOVE IT!

Wait no because we have the same user-
13:14 as soon as we hear our band room door open we all look to see who dares to enter
No one enters our band room and when they do someone always yells for them to leave
We end up laughing at them and making fun of them in general it fun
It took me a solid minute to realize that not everyone’s band room is in a whole separate building where half of it is literally just the band room.
18:18 I cried literal tears at this. Like not joking, tears escaped my eye sockets.

15:10 okay, but why are they singing so good- I need to hear the full audio-
What can I say, band kids serve vocals as well as music, especially if it's Party in the USA

Where was your composition at?
I was at a comp with my school, Pocahontas Marching Band, Saturday as well.
YOO A SKYRIM SHOW??

better than sex lmaoo😭
Loved the facial expressions on the redhead playing the Aladdin song.
One of the sophomores in our marching band made a version of industry baby and we play it a lot now lol
Is no one gonna talk about how SLAY the fairly odd parents and the friend like me mashup was??

12:27 I love seeing these band sacrificing videos, especially since our show this year is about demons lol
one of my proudest accomplishments is being the first (sometimes second) search result for "marching band cult" sacrificing another trumpet
Okay but the first year I started band went to get my instrument at the end of the day and I walked in the band room and someone immediately shouts “SACRIFICE FOUND” and I just yelled at the 8th graders to move (I was 6th grade) and they moved then I grabbed my instrument and they were in my way again so I held my instrument up and yelled move again it was very fun and I didn’t become a sacrifice which I’m sad about
@@a-bird-lover Are you referring to the “Sack of rice” video?
Let me tell you, as a percussionist, 8:20 is just…😂🤣😂
1:50
My first marching season (2021 lol) and I knew exactly what all of this meant lol
Is my band the only one who calls the pants under the marching uniforms
Fancy snow pants ? Cause if so yalll Start
They're clearly called bibbers
yeah…lmao, my band does anyways.
Just got back from my first band audition for freshman year (because I’m in percussion) and this has gotten me hyped.
aw yesss i’ve been waiting for another one of these!! i’m a drum major this year, we have our big state competition coming up in two weeks and we haven’t performed our whole show yet-
how tf did you make state if you havent performed your whole show yet
Going to state this Saturday, fingers crossed.

Love the fact that they’re playing for dolphins, also played the same songs with my band, 100% passes the vibe test
As a band kid of only 2 years, I can confirm, band is a cult.
Same like we just have our own little cult and I love it lol
Lol is 3 years you only move up in ranks rn I'm cult enjoyer/mother of the cult rookie demon children I play trombone I think that all I got to say about what I'm like lol
as someone that have been in band for about 6 and going on 7 years, I'm surprised I haven't been sacrificed yet.
As a band kid of 5 years that is exactly what it is, a cult
Yes band is a cult I have been sacrificed several times
0:21 what senior marching band season, mine was cancelled lmao
I’m so happy with all the guard vids here, people at our school always assume guard is easy but ITS NOT
15:13 they don’t even have bad voices. Literally my band sounds like dying animals when we sing but these guys know what’s up.

Also, Question for my fellow band kids out there:
What is something really bad you did in band that you haven't told anyone about?
I didn't practice my range.
I dropped my flute 2 times on the floor
The percussionists would sit on the floor in the back when the janitors took our chairs
talked shit about a senior.
The fact that as soon a the 'Ripped his pants' pianoist came on my brother imediently recognized the song and knew the entire lyrics.

When your school had old stands and that they would be constantly loose so you always had to flip it upside down or raise it up to tighten it.

There's this part in one of our Christmas songs that we have to clap...and its the Mii theme song. So our low brass was like "we gotta do the song" and our band teacher was like "Aight find some music and we will do it FOR OUR SPRING CONCERT"
The guy doing the arpeggios on the saxophone broke my little trombonist's heart :( lol
13:14 LOL the Trombone. In our band we just call our trombones ‘Attack Trumpets’ (like in the sense of attack helicopter) It’s the best thing ever. And I can confirm if you stub,e into the band hall they will chase you out 😂.
