I found an old cello at my school that's been there for years with no one to play it, because the cello teacher left and never returned to pick it up. The strings were broken and it was all alone in the storeroom. I've played violin for years and decided to take the lonely cello home with me and begin to learn to play the big brother of my violin.
My orchestra teacher showed my class this and I felt so bad. I play cello but haven't practiced in a couple days and this video gave me a slap in the face LOL. I'll definitely be kinder to my beauty and practice everyday!
Whoa. So sad. I play Bass Clarinet, and I'm gonna fight for this!!! Lonely instruments... I felt so touched by this...... My awesome band teacher posted it...
Too bad.I've often wondered what happened to a lot of the band instruments I saw that weren't used when I was in junior high and high school.I'd love to adopt a tuba or another baritone sax.When I was a junior in high school,as a tuba player,I used to play on an old French horn that was still in its' case.I heard a story once from a retired U.S. Navy vet who was a tubist and he told me about a lot of those horns getting scrapped after WW2.I've seen U.S. Government horns on ebay.It makes me wonder just how many were scrapped during the drives for scrap metal during WW2.If it were Japanese,I KNOW those were scrapped.Back then,everything from there that was metal was scrapped.
Thanks Shaun, you're amazing! I've stood in the instrument storeroom Friday after school seeing this same sad sight. Thanks for doing something about it.
Heh I got this from my beginning band teacher sad I can't bring my snare drum home for this Christmas so a brought home my drum sticks home with a practice pad
My band/orcastra/mariachi teacher showed this to us for band and orcastra and I laughed in orcastra but tried to keep a straight face in band, it faild. But this is such a funny but somewhat sad vid.
Came here because today in band my director played this and my friends and I thought the kid hugging his trumpet was funny so I promised I’d screenshot it and put it as my profile pic 😂
my teacher showed us this in class and i heard the music and thought it was gonna be one of those depressing animal commercials but then i saw an instrument in a cage and i was kind of confused at first but this video is funny
Some stranger has the tenor sax I sold thirty years ago, and I have no idea if they're treating it right or if they just threw it away. I meant that to be funny but now I really feel bad. THANKS, TH-cam!
Trombones are certainly up there, but a true Tubist can obliterate entire armies of Trombones. But anything that plays a in the Bass Clef is superior to the nasty treble peasants.
Our band watched this about a couple weeks ago and my teacher acted like he was crying but he was faking it. And me and my friend pet our instruments like the man did in the video..LOL

*Watches video*
*Thinks about Alto saxophone at school*
*cries*
I could not relate to this more
ikr
The only time I cried this much is when I broke my last reed.
Profoundspore8 same! I forgot my ASax at school over the weekend! Ajax Yamaha (Ajax the asax) now has a tiny stuffed animal buddy
Ikr
*what am I doing on the Internet I should be practicing on my trombone*
Me too
Me three :( but I left it at school
Me four
Like most of you, I saw this video in band class and thought it was funny. The way they used the song from those animal commercials, genius.
My mom showed me this
I think she trying to tell me somthing
when you got the wooden lockers instead of cages
Even worse--they can't see the light of day!
For real!
we literally only have shelves at my school
I put my instrument on a shelf
We had shelves in Junior High, and the jealous 2nd and 3rd chair trombones smashed my bell. Then denied it to my face.
Whoa. So sad. I play Bass Clarinet, and I'm gonna fight for this!!!
Lonely instruments... I felt so touched by this...... My awesome band teacher posted it...
*SCHOOL TUBA I'D TAKE YOU HOME WITH ME IF THEY LET ME ;-; I MISS YOU*

This really warms the cockles of my heart! It really is so beautiful to see that there really and truly are caring souls that really care!
My vote for video of the year !!! THANK YOU Shaun Fontaine !!!
My orchestra teacher always has to yell at kids who won't take their instruments home to practice so she should show this to them!!!!!
Cries then relived that he has a home instrument
Thanks Shaun, you're amazing! I've stood in the instrument storeroom Friday after school seeing this same sad sight. Thanks for doing something about it.
Yay!! Somebody saved the Mellophone!!!!
Just shared with my colleague - and I'm planning to show it in class Friday. This is great!
We watched this today in 6th grade band class! Came home and watched it! XD
My band teacher had showed this today and we all said that my band teacher was a dork😂😂LOL
Same
We watched this today in band, then the next thing I did was pick up my trumpet and pet it like that teacher. IT WAS HILARIOUS!
My band teacher legit sent this on Google classroom to give some recognition to those poor neglected instruments😔😭
Damnit I miss my percussion family *cries*
my band teacher showed this to us the other day and he literally started crying
My teacher showed this to us!!! Love it!!!
every band class needs to se this
Ours watched it lol
Hank Hill and he shows us this video every year
My trumpet is at my school and was there for so long. My alto sax was downstairs for 10 years
My teacher posted this and he showed us in class and i just wanted to see it again!
WHO WANTS TO FIGHT FOR THIS WITH ME!!!!
ya!!
Same Here. In band class and she put this on... Never Leave an Instrument Behind Project - NLIBP
my band teacher is the one who made this
Watching this makes me think about my poor Bells and Violin sitting in my kitchen...... Well they can play together they don’t need me anymore
We got on winter break and our conductor posted this video and said “don’t leave your instruments”
Perfect. Just perfect!
Brilliantly done!
Last year, my orchestra teacher showed us this video.😂😂
And this video was also posted on my birthday
Happily my euphonium has a nice warm bed and a safe home, it has a very fortunate life.
Brilliant indeed!!!
*watches video*
*THinks about trombone at school*
Dammit
A band teacher decided to play this video while the players were warming up. Everybody was laughing so hard because it’s so true! Haha
This is so funny I play the snare drum 😂
Ahaha! Our band teacher showed this to us in class and he couldn't stop laughing, it was great! >_
So I went to my local band room, and adopted a marching bass 5, now I’m low key regretting it
When your band teacher sends you this in the middle of the day
My band teachers showed showed is clarinets and baritones this at the beginning of school and someone cried.
Please do not send grumpy comments regarding the obvious parodying of a more sensitive animal issue... Lighten up!
I feel like I should hug my violin now and apologize.
Heh I got this from my beginning band teacher sad I can't bring my snare drum home for this Christmas so a brought home my drum sticks home with a practice pad
*hugs my collection of miscellaneous instruments*
My band/orcastra/mariachi teacher showed this to us for band and orcastra and I laughed in orcastra but tried to keep a straight face in band, it faild. But this is such a funny but somewhat sad vid.
Brilliant!!
My teacher Mr.Boyer showed us this during second period!
My band director sent me this and I'm scared now.
My band was like this is very serious ok so be mature before he showed us
Yes I gotta go pet my trumpet now
My teacher Mr.Mavity showed this to the whole band just to get us to take our instruments home.
1:14
I was told the colored ones like blue, red and all that were off brand. I was scared if that broke and they can’t find the piece.
😂😂 yes!!!! now I miss my tuba ;-; were on winter break..... and mine had to go be repaired 😭😭😭😭
Form CMS MRS.P-h showed us this well my tuba is with me :)
Came here because today in band my director played this and my friends and I thought the kid hugging his trumpet was funny so I promised I’d screenshot it and put it as my profile pic 😂
This is great.
My clarinet is always taken home with me. Every day
when my band teacher showed this to my class they just started laughing
I love this video! :)
I cried so much i could use my tears as slide oil
our band teacher sent us this just today for spring break😂😂😂 the poor instruments 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
So funny yet so true!
I wanna hug my flute right now
my teacher showed us this in class and i heard the music and thought it was gonna be one of those depressing animal commercials but then i saw an instrument in a cage and i was kind of confused at first but this video is funny
I thought the same exact thing until I saw the instrument
Good thing I my alto Saxophone home everyday
I have never been so sad only when I broke my reed to my clarinet
Mrs. P showed us this at cms
Some stranger has the tenor sax I sold thirty years ago, and I have no idea if they're treating it right or if they just threw it away. I meant that to be funny but now I really feel bad. THANKS, TH-cam!
The band teacher at my school plays this everyday when we are leaving
Tuba is the master race. Never forget.
Psh please we all know the supreme race is the trombones
Trombones are certainly up there, but a true Tubist can obliterate entire armies of Trombones. But anything that plays a in the Bass Clef is superior to the nasty treble peasants.
Forget those treble cleft jerks, base cleft are the balls of the band
camspythepro oh please, Cymbals for the win
I watched this at school today
This is too funny, I think I’m dying. But it’s a happy death.
One week in sixth grade I left my tenor at school for a week.
my band sub showed this to us yesterday
Our band watched this about a couple weeks ago and my teacher acted like he was crying but he was faking it. And me and my friend pet our instruments like the man did in the video..LOL
My band teacher posted this on our class page
I bring my instrument home every night
I adopted my neglected one
ASPCA?
My band teacher showed this to the band class and we though it was funny
my band teacher showed us this today not very happy
This makes me want to go hug my trumpet and give it a nice meal of valve oil and tuning slide grease
my band teacher showed this at our concert 😅
I should be playing my trombone...
I started to cry not because of the video but for the cringe senses and laughing I did when I saw this. I'm a horrible person.
My band director sent this to us over the break 😂
