Even as he was preparing them to play the piece, I could tell he was a really super-nice conductor. Basically, he said, "The best way to do well is to look at where you will mess up, and then don't. But, if you do, no problem. We'll just stop and do it again. No pressure."
Can someone tell me the story behind this? Dr. Thompson is my director for CYE's Philharmonic Orchestra and Wind Symphony. "Dammit that notes too long!! They're gonna be late to the second bar!" I about died laughing. Might I just add Dr. Thompson is about the best conductor!!! Ever. :D
Luckily, the song is one that everyone in that band already knew. Literally, the day of the prank, the person who orchestrated it came into the band room at the start of class, before the director got there, and told us we were going to it, so actually not much practice at all haha
@@ericjuzkiw5069 What was the prank song? what was written on the board? why is this considered the greatest prank of all time? why does the conductor say, "focus on not missing the second bar?" Wouldn't focusing on the possibility of a mistake make you more likely to mess up? THX!
@@alioness-w-noregrets7471 There's this internet photo of a soldier (not sure) with the option of pressing Y for the dialogue "shame". Someone "negativized" it, took away the H in shame, and so it became (Y) S ame. I don't get to explain memes at all to strangers on the internet, so you're welcome I guess?
It's very good. But the best April Fool's Day prank was done by the BBC when their very highbrow, serious documentary programme had a report on the failure of the spaghetti harvest in Italy.
Essentially what they did was they played the wrong piece of music on purpose. He wanted them to play Music A but they played Music B, if that helps at all
"Big Ben has turned digital"

As a fellow falcon who spent several years in that building and that room with Dr. Thompson and others, this just made my day!!!
Did Dr. Thompson hit on you also?
Did I ask
This is the weirdest episode of Star Wars I’ve ever seen
I love Star Wars. It's great. Your comment however, doesn't make any sense.

@@long_term_karma9899 he‘s referencing the Star Wars like text scrolling at the start
I force agrees with this one
Wtf
ah yes self-practice. the time the room goes to hell and it’s noise and not music
He's a cool teacher. Took it all in stride.

Hello Rajoya
Well this was 8 years ago and I don’t see an answer in the reply’s guess you’ll never know oh well
Did he ever pay his taxes?
Wow...9 years ago...
The first park is all songs that ever existed all in one
As a band director, well done!
Ok.. I was amazed at students walking around after director stepped up.
9 years and this got recommend to me who else here in 2021
A digital Big Ben would be cursed XD
I searched imperial march and this showed up...
You’re gonna be in my old playlist.
I know it must have something to do with what they did play instead of what they should have played. But, I wish I knew the details!
"What are taxes?" don't worry about it just tell me when train A gets to station B.
As an alum who just stumbled on this I was surprised when that riff was played.
*Did You Hunger Like A Nihilus, Hate Like A Sion, Or Betray Like A Traya*
I am wondering how much practice went into this prank.
me too

Why does the band room have a balcony?
Our band room had one. I think it’s pretty normal.
Mine is small, it doesnt
Then again I'm in middle school
I remember those days of RUclips.
Thanks for explaining the meaning of "HAZO" and explaining the prank. ^ minutes of my life gone!

No one:

Well that is 6:00 minutes I will never get back.
I knew this came out when I was 1
So what was the prank? I guess it was an inside joke.
I know the tune was wrong, but what's HAZO?

Bonjour,, ce sont les initiales de cette école ?
Sounds like the song zulu warrior
Best camera operater ever. Said nobody. Ever.
I wonder wheres all those people now
is there something im missing. i dont get it.
Only in america
Can someone explain please?
It's probably edited from windows movie maker
i think its some music prank i didnt get it ! but that music was hilarious !
I must have missed something.....
It might be because I'm from England but I don't get this. What even is that song? Can someone tell me what this is all about
Instead of playing the first song of the rehearsal, "The King" as the professor specified, they played the school's fight song and surprised him.
What did he write on the chalkboard? I can't read either of them.
Specificity is a good word. They should try applying it to the tuning procedure. That was painful.
2:50 could have been great here. Instead....
Maybe because I'm not a music person or I don't play the band or orchestra but I have no idea what this is about
I do, and its still not funny to me. I think in this case. Its only funny go those in that classroom or those that know the instructor.
Instead of playing "The King", they played the school's fight song. To the director's surprise.
Fun fact: you didn’t search for this.
I searched for it
Funny enough I actually did because one of my friends told me about it
Fun fact: I did.
I did
I dis
Nope. I don't get it. Did the Sith win after all?
They lost me
Definitely pays to read the video intro first. Btw, the beginning of the video has nothing to do with the prank.
Oh dear. Is this meant to be funny? Or vaguely interesting?
Um um I'm in band and it's not supposed to sound like that
Let's go Brandon!!! I got halfway and had to go. 👋
I don’t get it

I don’t get this at all
I did.
@Hatem Raafat That's the prank? The "pregnant" girl who received the news in class on speaker seems to be a better prank than this.

Funny ??????????????????
Is it me or are there no male flautists there?
By the time she got where she was headed, I was nauseous from motion sickness! Geez! This is exactly why I hate orchestras!!!
Dang it, that notes are too long! Shorten it right now!
🤔🙄
Inside joke. Not funny if you don't know the players. Cute

I'm guessing that's something only band nerds would find funny. SMH
Nerds 😞
Best ever? I don't think that it makes the top 10,000.
when did we start counting
This is not the "best prank ever"
Lame needed context for this to make sense was HAZO his name? Sigh... dislike
Snooze fest
I was waiting for something funny. Never happened. Must be missing something?
Title of Video, "Best Prank Ever." Actual video, overly long, boring video of people not doing what they're told. This is funny… WHY?
most people aren’t as uptight as you are and enjoy simpler things
Video is way too long and its certainly not the best prank ever.
Amazing what band geeks think is amusing...wtf???
Z is pronounced ‘Zed’

Nope. Always Zed.
Not sure why they used that pronounciation in this video, but in Australia it’s pronounced “zee” 🤷♀️😊
I'm not sure I get the joke, but for some reason I can't stop laughing at the music I heard.

We did something like this once during a concert. It was the conductor's birthday, so when he gave us the downbeat we played Happy Birthday for him.
Nine years later, but its still hilarious! But, thanks for almost making me lose my breakfast at the beginning. 😁

@@lthegamingreactor7697 they played different music that they learned on their own instead of playing what he wanted them to play

What's HAZO?
Well, I do know of Samuel R. Hazo who is a composer.
love how they put blink 182 at the beginning
he was the conductor of my youth orchestra and seeing this is epic
The good days of youtube before everyone became a reactor
4:55
thank me later
I wholeheartedly agree with the title of the video. This is the best prank ever in the history of RUclips.
I love how 2011 this is
Yep this is the wierdest star wars episode
I don't get it.
Nice opening music!
I don't get it...? was expecting something more from the title.
