When I was in 6th grade band, our teacher intentionally composed a "terrible" version of Jingle Bells, so that we could be a horrible band on purpose. It was so much fun and the audience loved it. Instead of trying to be good when we were so inexperienced, we just got to own our inexperience and take it in stride. I miss my old band teacher...
I once saw/was subjected to a performance of intentionally and hilariously bad Christmas noise. What remains burned into my memory is that the biggest kid in the band--a behemoth who cracked six feet in height and had shoulders like a bull in seventh grade--had been given a freaking *triangle* to play, and going by the expression on his face and the sheer intensity of his body language, you'd think he was going full Jack Bauer on a psychopath. That poor triangle didn't deserve what happened to it, but it was certainly hilarious :D
The best part is the accompaniment horns being louder than the main melody horn because they’re all mad that they didn’t get to be first chair and there’s more of them.
This just reminds me of an Eddie Izzard joke about their school band days: "1st clarinet plays the melody, 2nd clarinet plays the harmonies and 3rd clarinet plays THE NOTES THAT ARE LEFT OVER!"

My middle school had no music department. There was a music class you could take as an elective, but no teacher or instruments (you had to bring your own from home, and it was a low income area school, so only like 10 people could afford to be in that class) and those 10 people just had to do their homework while a random substitute watched them lmao.

2:30 I’ve got a recording of the Birmingham conservatoire wind band rehearsing one of my pieces with the conducted Guy Wolfenden actually shouting “NOOOOO!” at an early entry. So this is very relatable.
So I have a few thoughts on this composition: I loved this, because it was essentially the epitome of putting a bunch of 12 year olds in a room and then seeing chaos ensue, the usage of this song in of itself is a great show of that chaos in live action. On top of that, perhaps they played it very well because they wanted to make a royalty/copyright free version of the song as well. You really did encapsulate the life of a 12 year old in this song, perfect, bravo.
When I try to understand musical notation, I find myself asking, “Yes, but what does that sound like?” Or, “how would that really sound?” This channel is a hilarious way to learn and find out.
I sent this to my friend because my band has descended into chaos because we got a new band teacher, and I blame the seventh graders. There's barely any eighth graders, and we're good about playing, and some of us are considering quitting band until high school.
I’m a pianist who plays this song quite a bit since it’s one of my favorite songs. Let me just say, my brain legit went into “Wait, is that the right note??” multiple times when listening

When I was in 8th grade band we taught the 6th graders to play this song and convinced them they were playing it at their concert. This is exactly what it sounded like.
*Anyone* who can read music has my unqualified admiration no matter how well they produce it. I had 5 years of both French and Arabic, and as Prince Ali said in Lawrence of Arabia "I can both read and write." But one of my deepest regrets is that despite my love of music, I never learned to read or write it!
Thank you so so much for making the oops-I-squeaked a reasonable volume relative to the rest of the piece. That would have really, really hurt for me if it had been louder, noises like that mess with my sensory issues badly and many videos make things like that super loud (the little bike-bell DING sound is an example that nearly always hurts me and I've given up on watching channels that use it regularly throughout videos at unpredictable moments). So yeah seriously thanks. Also hilarious work, I related hard to too much of this lol. The chapter titles are epic too and I appreciate the warnings for headphone users even though I don't generally wear them because those warnings are always valuable for me too lol
Once during some practice time, an 8th grader with a clarinet was squeaking so loudly I thought I would actually damage my ears I don’t know how a clarinet can produce such a loud noise Someone then proceeded to play “amogus theme” on a marimba

Positively diabolical. Who was not left wondering, “Why didn’t I think of that?”
I tried so very, VERY hard not to sing along in my head. I was an abject failure.
The best part is the accompaniment horns being louder than the main melody horn because they’re all mad that they didn’t get to be first chair and there’s more of them.

its how our high school music department works because orchestra and band are 2 different classes who dont practice together 😭 ⟟ play violin and its crazy
I've watched this about 6 times and for no reason at all the "tasty" "chord" at 1:08 makes me lose it every time. Bravo sir.
*_t a s t y_*

Same here! 😂
That specific little Tritone and the part called “lazer gun” never fail to make me actually laugh out loud
Dude ate their mouthpiece.
Is nobody gonna talk about how smoothly this dude inserted The Riff into this? Amazing
? Where? I didn't hear it.
@@Redarmy1917 its towards the end of the song in the last few large chords
@@SRBONUS1912 It being so horribly fucking out of tune doesn't help, but it's a note short for it still, no?
You're talking about 2:25 right?
@@Redarmy1917 it is a note short but it sounds more like The Riff rather than not. Yes that Is what I'm referring to
wait what the FUCK????
...oh my god how did i miss that
It took me 15 minutes to watch this 2-minute video because I kept running out of breath laughing every 7 seconds and having to pause the video until I could calm down again.
for anybody reading the comments whilst listening to the video, PLEASE TURN YOUR VOLUME DOWN AT 0:20, DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID AT AT 10:30PM WHILE EVERYBODY ELSE WAS EEPING!!!!!!!
Boy, you’re giving those sixth graders a whole lot of credit
Honestly, 2:15 sounds somewhat good; the high piccolo notes seem to make it sound more intense
@hayden I feel bad for the person who has to sit in front of that though 😂but yeah that would be a cool part
honestly im suprised that this theoretical piccolo player was able to hit the notes, good for them
Also the next part where the melody goes down
@@anitacollins571 the shocking part to me is that the piccolo is in tune
God, the fits of wheezed laughter this gave me were *curative.* Thank you.
As the person that actually played the cymbals in my school orchestra, can confirm it’s too tempting not to do this.
as someone who was in beginning band, i can say that this is heaven
Not sure if many others realized, but I love how they put in “the lick” at 2:24. Out of key, doesn’t sound right in the moment, very much something that middle schoolers, and even some of the people in my highschool jazz 1 will do lol.
I only know “the lick” because of how many of my friends were in band lol
I only know it because of SiIvagunner
I don't know what the lick is
The name makes it sound dirty 😅
@@isapu1948 it's a super simple piece of vocab that's commonly used in jazz culture, but is so simple and used to much that it basically became a meme and is used outside of jazz all the time now. It's one of the most simple pieces of vocab you could probably get

Thank you!

Omg you broke Google Translate 🤣🤣💀
I am going to plagiarize that
It translates and adds more diacritics
When I translate that in the app it adds more diacritics, but when I put it into Translate it gave me the same thing.
What is going on?
This song actually wasn’t made in the classical era 🤓
What a nice interpretation! Love the rubato, syncopated rhythms, counterpuntal qualities and the timbre shift between bars.
I have no idea what I just said.
Timbre doesn’t shift! That’s what makes it timbre!
Dont worry, I dont know either
i really appreciated the negative harmony and picardy thirds, plus the xenharmonics were a nice touch
You utter bastard. This is my favourite classical piece and now I will NEVER not hear, "Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb, Mary had a little lamb whose fleece was white as snow."
Missed opportunity: you should have added parents clapping pretending to be proud of the kids
I will save this joke for later because that was definitely a missed opportunity 😆
I haven't cried so hard laughing in so long. My god, it really brings me back to the 6th grade clarinet section... My dad's a conductor too, I'm gonna send him this
Dad: "why would you intentionally trigger my PTSD like that? you're disowned."
0:46 That single doot always gets me
This song (especially on the second half) was basically just, "Hm yes distilled anxiety"
Nah, that's anxiety extract
@@dracothewarrior4316 I enjoy adding a pump of it to my coffee every morning
@@OrangeC7 I prefer to add 5 shots of crippling realism
This really is astounding. This is just a piece of music but almost the entire thing has a comedic effect. Bravo.
1:44 a moment of silence for the conductor 😔
This really didn't need mary had a little lamb to make it even worse an earworm 🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant loved all the comments and the lastnote noooooo
As someone who played the cymbal part in my high school philharmonic, and regularly did cymbals for marches (and marching band), I really want to learn how to make a particle accelerator with cymbals. That shit sounds epic 🎉🧡
DO NOT! YOU WILL CREATE THE CYMBAL-VERSION OF THE FLASH
Just drop your cymbals sideways down a flight of stairs
2:08
Looks like a snakes and ladders game on screen lol.
**I CANT STOP LAUGHING I CANT STOP LAUGHING**
0:25 sound likes a 🚢
Good golly, that sound nearly gave me a heart attack!
Accurate trombone as a trombonist
@@combotiger847 same lol
@ anytime I see a fortissimo or higher I just *_BLAST_* it lmao
apparently this song is so advanced that it has a whole penguin in it. i guess you learn something new every day
2:30 I’ve got a recording of the Birmingham conservatoire wind band rehearsing one of my pieces with the conducted Guy Wolfenden actually shouting “NOOOOO!” at an early entry. So this is very relatable.
So I have a few thoughts on this composition:
I loved this, because it was essentially the epitome of putting a bunch of 12 year olds in a room and then seeing chaos ensue, the usage of this song in of itself is a great show of that chaos in live action. On top of that, perhaps they played it very well because they wanted to make a royalty/copyright free version of the song as well. You really did encapsulate the life of a 12 year old in this song, perfect, bravo.
1:03 fire alarm in your house for no reason
He needs so make a video that's just alarm sounds with instruments
So it's not just ours?
that means you have to change the battery
Change the battery in it, chief. It'll save yer life.
you gotta change the battery my man
Literally the group of kids that don’t practice and are just there for the field trip at the end of the year
When I try to understand musical notation, I find myself asking, “Yes, but what does that sound like?” Or, “how would that really sound?” This channel is a hilarious way to learn and find out.
Meanwhile you have the one kid who can play any instrument perfectly and proceeds to play the easiest one
As a sixth grader in beginning band, I can confirm that that is how rehearsals with the entire band sounds.
Made honor band so now I can bully beginner band kids
1:17 Okay that’s impressive. If I can tell instruments apart, that was a string, and that’s FAST pizzicato, and should honestly be impossible to do.
I sent this to my friend because my band has descended into chaos because we got a new band teacher, and I blame the seventh graders. There's barely any eighth graders, and we're good about playing, and some of us are considering quitting band until high school.
I just had a bad day at work and with my family. Listening to this really cheered me up and made me laugh… thanks 😊 I needed that.
the fact that you can even tell what song it is tells me it’s unrealistically good
I’m a pianist who plays this song quite a bit since it’s one of my favorite songs. Let me just say, my brain legit went into “Wait, is that the right note??” multiple times when listening
Missed opportunity to call this: "In the *hell* of mountain king"
I actually thought about that one but I thought the subtle joke of "Beginner Band Hall" in there was funnier 🙃
@@MagicMason1000How about both?
@@MagicMason1000now you can save “In the hell of the mountain king” for another idea down the road
You have made a mockery of my ears and I respect you for it
I was never a band kid but I WAS a choir kid and this is accurate as all hell.
The random chord at 0:50 is sending me for no reason
Me too
this is the best thing i've ever seen 💀
Hear also his "Destruction of the Gladiators," a brilliantly evil discord of circus music.
1:33 Actually had this happen with our ✨main Tuba player✨ in high school. It was being judged as well, so that was EXTRA fun.
(Song wasn’t Hall of the Mountain King that we were playing though)
What song and what part?
@@emmagillis4669 I unfortunately don’t remember exactly what it was, it’s been years ^^;
What I do remember though is that they forgot to repeat back to the beginning once.
@@Flaming_Saturn that happens to me way to often, except I play the first ending instead of the second.
OMG I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING THIS IS TOO ACCURATE- WTH WAS THAT PENGUIN DOING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MUSIC
This would be absolutely killer to perform, with context of the title, as a piece of performance art
Except some of these parts feel nearly impossible to do irl (I don't know I don't play instruments) I.E the speeding up part
1:41 onwards actually sounds really cool.
Witty, algorithm-enhancing comment
Also witty, but grateful reply
This is actually better then a seventh Grade band
Edit: this blew up
After a drinkie-poo or three, this is better than Grieg's original.
I agree and I’m in a seventh grade band
Has eight graders too
-offended gasp-
This was better than my highschool band.
When u stand up
ready urself to go to work
get out of ur house

Who tf is manning cymbals 💀💀💀 bro got insane speed 😭
Holy hell I was just thinking "This is like Mary had a little lamb" at 0:35 and you actually did it on the next page
As a 6th grader myself, I completely agree with this. I play the trombone.
I also trombone
There's this one piece with an A and everyone else plays an E while me and sometimes the person next to me plays an A and it just completely ruins the piece. I'm scared for the concert...
@@xitsraindropx7165 Same here
@@DeanJKorinis just wait until you get to 8th grade, first trombone and baritone will be told to play something that the rest of the trombones won’t play and once you actually play it, the entire section will play it and it’s infuriating because only TWO PEOPLE WERE TOLD TO PLAY IT AND IF YOURE GOING TO PLAY IT ATLEAST DONT HYUCKING MESS UP D AND G FLAT FOR THE SAKE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY
@@skavengur9459 Oh Lord...
When I was in 8th grade band we taught the 6th graders to play this song and convinced them they were playing it at their concert. This is exactly what it sounded like.
r/chaoticgood
LMAO I lost it when the percussion came in 😭😭😭
1:39 “sixth graders having never seen a quintuplet before:”
*continues to do a 500-tuplet*
As someone who has basically no instrument experiences this is far better than I could do with 100 clones of myself
c'mon, half the fun is wrangling the clones and trying to convince them to listen to you because you're the original.
*Anyone* who can read music has my unqualified admiration no matter how well they produce it. I had 5 years of both French and Arabic, and as Prince Ali said in Lawrence of Arabia "I can both read and write." But one of my deepest regrets is that despite my love of music, I never learned to read or write it!
Thank you so so much for making the oops-I-squeaked a reasonable volume relative to the rest of the piece. That would have really, really hurt for me if it had been louder, noises like that mess with my sensory issues badly and many videos make things like that super loud (the little bike-bell DING sound is an example that nearly always hurts me and I've given up on watching channels that use it regularly throughout videos at unpredictable moments). So yeah seriously thanks. Also hilarious work, I related hard to too much of this lol. The chapter titles are epic too and I appreciate the warnings for headphone users even though I don't generally wear them because those warnings are always valuable for me too lol
Once during some practice time, an 8th grader with a clarinet was squeaking so loudly I thought I would actually damage my ears
I don’t know how a clarinet can produce such a loud noise
Someone then proceeded to play “amogus theme” on a marimba
As someone who did orchestra in all of middle school, this made me cry. Tears of laughter and agony are rolling down my cheeks.
The Band class at my school, isn't as loud as our Orchestra class. I could hear them all the way down the hall, I didn't know we were that loud.
