Can you plz make another with more instruments that get phased out by electric keyboard? Maybe he could step in with some alien phase gun and make them slowly fade out of existence and then replicate their sounds poorly lol
As a violinist, I loved this; organizing them into orchestral sections, and the slightly punny comments throughout it. . . . Did not disappoint! Great job, FJ! ~ Ana
I played upright bass for a large portion of my childhood and let me just say that it is really fun to be able to be a part of two different music groups (classical and jazz respectively).
Ukulele: Hey guys! Sorry I’m late! Piano: Oh, it’s okay. Guitars! Your little sibling is here! Ukulele: For the last time, *IM NOT A MINI GUITAR!* Drums: Sounds like someone has a short fuse
"I'm sorry, guys. My reed is being very finicky. I'm not sure if I'm gonna be able to play." I laughed because it's so true. I think that every time I put my oboe together.
There needs to be a part 2 but this time featuring the bassoon, French horn, saxophones, euphoniums/baritones, and every other orchestra instrument that wasn't included
As a French Hornist, I kept waiting for the horn to show up. When you said horns and showed the tuba though I laughed so hard. People always think we're tubas for some reason 😂 this sketch was on point as usual, even if the tuba/horn thing was unintentional
Ideas for next “If ___ were people”: If kitchen utensils and/or appliances were people If each of the food groups (fruit, veg, meat, dairy, sugar, etc) were people If countries were people
Dude flutes are definitely overlooked in my school! I was primarily a flutist in my band and in the marching band, and I cannot say how much my band director HATED the flutes. It's because we're always in the front, and there were so many of us that it was kind of unnecessary. And I think he'd emphasize how we weren't taught right cause we expend too much air and play too loudly from that (which was true). And I mean, we had this super arrogant flutist who always wanted 1st Flute (usually the ones with solos and higher notes), so my band director probably was annoyed by him as he sat in the first seat right next to him always asking questions. And tbh I think also why he hated the flutes was because during flute lessons, he's struggling to actually teach us because he doesn't play so well on it, since he plays the saxophone and clarinet, or reed instruments Luckily, I think he kind of favored me cause I was just really quiet in general, and also in playing.. cause I was nervous and shy. But I practiced for hours and took it seriously cause I wanted to improve myself. So I actually took his advice on how to conserve your air and control air speed, and etc. But then that meant he wanted me to play the solos, and I did, but bruh I have performance anxiety lol
🤣Why does this actually feel like a music class that is even more chaotic than usual? I think the Bongos had to be my favorite character! Very fun skit!
Hot Cross Buns! 🤣I love this!! I've been hoping you would do something like this! The Spanish guitar was hilarious, and poor cowbell haha...you even got the piccolo in there! Everybody! A one, two, three...Thanks, Frank! The ladies will love it! 🙌😂
@@StephanieJeanne lol French horns are pretty compact - it's tubas and sousaphones that are huge, but pretty sure I spotted a brief tuba appearance doing an 'oomp-a' lol
As a (somewhat) mad (cute) teacher who’s also a piano player I‘ve always been into the acoustic guitar player… The voices of Oboe and Clarinet were perfect!
And French Horns would be the ones sitting quietly in the back but then pulling a mad improv solo/ harmony at the last minute while everyone is playing.
Really amazing how accurate some of these are. Almost like Frank used to play in a high school band himself... Love the musical content like this. I really love the rivalry between piano and guitar, though I think there are quite a few pianists out there who don't follow the rest of the band/orchestra well either...
😂 as a clarinetist I fully agreed with the "typical" response to the oboe. (Seriously, such a diva. 😒) So much truth on the trumpet railroading the flute. 😢❤ The piccolo believing he can get ladies... 🤦🏻♀️😂 Acoustic guitar only playing Wonderwall took me back to college days. 😂 Would love you to do more musical instruments as people sketches. You could introduce Eastern instruments or have them respond to a capella. ❤ your work, FJ! And keep up the puns (like the bagpipe one)-- always has me in stitches! 😆 Plus, references like SNL's cowbell. You just needed Walken. 😎
As a flute player, I have heard my band director tell the trumpets many times to be quieter so he could hear the flutes 😂 One of the funniest skits I've seen in a while
As a flute and piccolo player this was so accurate lol. The trumpet players at my school always steal my ideas. Also my band director's primary instrument is trumpet and he focuses way more on the brass instruments than the woodwinds, especially in marching band. Luckily I get to play picc in marching band this year! (I think my band director has something against picc in marching band. The last 3 shows we did didn't even have a picc part)
As a string player, I totally agree. In my opinion, violin is the youngest child because they are always front and center with the melody (and the attention 🙄), cello would be the oldest because they always hold it together and are the large support. And viola would probably be the underrated middle child because everyone unfortunately forgets about them
Piccolo: "Me, too" LOL!!! Ok, even more LOL, Clarinet calling "typical" on oboe having reed issues, because IT'S SO TRUE! Frank, Flute was INFJ, wasn't it? Oh, hahahahaha....you're killing me...."hot cross buns".....HAHAHAHAA! Loved the white glasses on Violin, and the final performance slayed me. THIS IS YOUR BEST EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Watch "Why are you so quiet? (funny introvert rap)" next 🎵👉 th-cam.com/video/GaNvgKK-Rls/w-d-xo.html
Already seen, but gladly going to rewatch
It's only been stuck in my head since you released it. haha
It was very good.
Do you think the long hair will be coming back? I was watching one of your old videos recently.
Hey I have an idea for a sketch, if Canadian provinces and territories were people
Can you plz make another with more instruments that get phased out by electric keyboard? Maybe he could step in with some alien phase gun and make them slowly fade out of existence and then replicate their sounds poorly lol
As a flutist, the trumpet loudly taking over the flute’s ideas hit so hard-
AS A TRUMPETEER, THE TRUMPET LOUDLY TAKING OVER THE FLUTE'S IDEAS HIT SO HARD!
@@charstevens2686 neat to know it's accurate, thanks trumpet
@@charstevens2686 This was the best response anyone could have made to my comment, thank you
Best thread!!! LOLOL ;-)
(arial narrow) EXCUSE ME, PICCOLO COMING THROUGH
Frank James isn’t an instrument, he’s a whole orchestra.
One of Frank's finest. 😅
is frank james an instrument?
You didn‘t know?@@averagelightningenjoyer285
As a trumpet, no we don’t only get our ideas from flutes. (We get them from clarinets as well)
Hi, clarinet here, yep, accurate lol
I'm a clarinet, and yes your kind totally steals my kinds ideas😂😂
As a clarinet, this is completely true
To be fair, if I can find trumpet music for something I look for a clarenet version
Yep we flutes and clarinets deserve some recognition can you make a part two and feature us some more 😢
I love how the viola had no lines, and appeared once whilst looking around awkwardly. Perfect representation.
As a violist I can say that the viola acting was perfect
as a violist i can confirm that i do that
I can’t believe we even made the cast.
nah, in my orchestra, they say that the cellos and violins and double basses are in a war. what about ME. THE ONLY VIOLIST.
@@PXNDAMUSIC I agree fellow violist
Clarinet having Squidward's voice was a nice touch haha
Ohhhhh. Haha, thanks for pointing that out. That's clever
@@TheQwuilleran it really is!
(1:08 for anyone who's wondering)
Haha exactly 😂
I love how flawlessly Frank pulled off "Hot Cross Buns" all by himself, and of course Acoustic Guitar just HAD to throw Oasis in there!
"Wonderwall" mashes up with so many other songs!
This had me so laughing🤣
And it sounded just like an elementary school performance! 😂 This was my favorite skit by far.
To be fair, 'wonderwall' is a way better song.
😂
I love how the trombone only ever says "whomp, whomp..." when something funny happens
As a former trombonist it perfectly mimicked my personality when I was playing, only speaking to quietly make a short silly comment on someone’s folly
Trumpet being so loud nobody heard Flute is sooo accurate lol
😂
The saxophone is equally loud behind us flutes
@@Elli-Woffles fr tho 😢
My band was very inaccurate since we had like 7 flutes and 2 trumpets
The bongoes gave me some evil creepy twin vibes and I almost choked on my sandwich watching this, GREAT JOB FRANK 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
im pretty sure they’re a reference to the shining
As a violinist myself, this is insanely accurate. I can indeed confirm that string instruments are all one and the same.
No, you didn't say that ... Viola and the violin are two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT INSTRUMENTS!!!!
Try telling that to unmusical people :(
Just don't tell Eddy and Brett the viola is the same as the violin! All hell will break loose! 🤣
as a violinist as well, i agree
As a cellist, I completely disagree. Maybe violins and violas tho
As a clarinet player i appreciate that his only line was something i would actually say
As an oboe player, I feel attacked but also understand.
Typical
I’m also a clarinetist, so I can relate
Yep, also a clarinetist (and pianist!) I relate a lot
Underappreciated instrument ❤
As a Scottish person, that accent is the best!
Can you say Purple Burglar Alarm tho 😂 Just kidding man
Flutes getting talked over by trumpets is pretty on the nose lol
As a violinist, I loved this; organizing them into orchestral sections, and the slightly punny comments throughout it. . . . Did not disappoint! Great job, FJ!
~ Ana
Thanks for giving us a private symphony, Frank! We should play "Don't Fear the Reaper", in honour of Cowbell. ❤️😁
that's a great song to play anyway
Cowbell looks like Bob Ross of Painting with Bob...
I learned that song on drums, it's a banger. Ba dum tsss
I'ma head out now
@@CatherineBriseboisCatWoods I think it's meant to be Eric Bloom from the Blue Öyster Cult!
I played upright bass for a large portion of my childhood and let me just say that it is really fun to be able to be a part of two different music groups (classical and jazz respectively).
I consider you lucky. Great choice. I really love the sound of upright bass, and bass.
That's the exact reason why I chose to take up bass. I wanted to be in both jazz band and orchestra. Plus the double bass is just awesome!
Is upright bass the same as double bass?
@@TheEpicNoob yeah, it has a lot of names: bass violin, string bass, contrabass, upright bass, double bass. They all mean the same thing.
electric bass also has more than one, being able to play jazz and all kinds of rock
Really, Piano leading the musical instruments was really a great idea.
I'm a trumpet player and I can't even defend myself, this is so accurate 😂
😂😂
As a trombone player, I can appreciate that he summed up the maturity level of the typical trombone section 😂
Ukulele: Hey guys! Sorry I’m late!
Piano: Oh, it’s okay. Guitars! Your little sibling is here!
Ukulele: For the last time, *IM NOT A MINI GUITAR!*
Drums: Sounds like someone has a short fuse
I was waiting for the ukulele to show up! We need a part 2 of this where the Ukulele shows up.
Eletric Bass: is that a gnome? How does it only have 4 frets in size??
Badum tsss
LOL
i am palying accordion , when the violin said that the accordion balongs in the trash , i felt it personally
"I'm sorry, guys. My reed is being very finicky. I'm not sure if I'm gonna be able to play." I laughed because it's so true. I think that every time I put my oboe together.
This is so accurate. If I ever sound off in my band/orchestra I just say my reed's not working.
As a pianist this is insanely accurate with all the instruments just doing their thing while we try to force something together 😅
Reminds me of my ISTJ friend trying all the group do the job we are supposed to do instead of juggling with nonsense. (INFP here)
The violin is savage. Probably why it's my favorite instrument.
The fact that there is no bassoon is very accurate to most bands 😂
Or if there is, you can never hear us
There needs to be a part 2 but this time featuring the bassoon, French horn, saxophones, euphoniums/baritones, and every other orchestra instrument that wasn't included
I Love the Obeo yay
Also, What if Body Systems were People, Like the Cardiovascular System, Nervous System, & even the Urinary System
We need a version with the saxes as well… ohhh, how about a part two with all the Jazz instruments
Where was the recorder?!?! Isn't it a law that you need to play hot cross buns on a recorder? 😂
Now this... This was a masterpiece.
As a French Hornist, I kept waiting for the horn to show up. When you said horns and showed the tuba though I laughed so hard. People always think we're tubas for some reason 😂 this sketch was on point as usual, even if the tuba/horn thing was unintentional
I never knew Frank could harmonize with himself so beautifully...
RIGHT!? Did you see him doing the kids choir ? next level !
Ideas for next “If ___ were people”:
If kitchen utensils and/or appliances were people
If each of the food groups (fruit, veg, meat, dairy, sugar, etc) were people
If countries were people
Eggcellant ideas 💡
"If countries were people"
_Hetalia fandom flashbacks_
INFP here who used to play flute… doubly ignored.
(I switched to oboe, so I guess I’m not even going to play.)
Lovey, you’re the one the entire orchestra tunes up to. Without you, everyone sounds like sh!t! You’re irreplaceable, now.💖
Hahaha! Frank, you're the wittiest guy I know! You're incredibly creative.
Kazoo in accurately obnoxious voice: "NaOboudy lIkes yaOU!" 😂
you completely nailed the sound of that elementary school band
As a flautist and an oboist, I can say that FJ's representation of those instruments is accurate. Especially the finicky reed part.
Yeah, my oboe reed always needs some kind of adjustment
Same oboe reeds are expensive too! I always have to replace mine like a month after I get it.
But ITS not What represents the Oboe,ITS the beautiful sound that it has.🥹🥹🥹
As a bassoonist, I can say that this band not having a bassoon is also accurate.
Dude flutes are definitely overlooked in my school! I was primarily a flutist in my band and in the marching band, and I cannot say how much my band director HATED the flutes. It's because we're always in the front, and there were so many of us that it was kind of unnecessary.

I just laughed my bass off. 🤣 And man, I needed it today.
🤣Why does this actually feel like a music class that is even more chaotic than usual? I think the Bongos had to be my favorite character! Very fun skit!
Respect to FJ only moving the 3 middle fingers when playing his left hand trumpet. 👏👏👏
That’s musically awesome! 🎶 ❤ This 80’s kid finds cowbell the most hilarious! And my dad plays accordion so 🤣🤣🤣
You should have had harpsichord come in as piano's father
I was waiting for this! Props to Frank for never running out of ideas!
i love how the accordion gets no respect they need more recognition. but good job frank👍
Hot Cross Buns! 🤣I love this!! I've been hoping you would do something like this! The Spanish guitar was hilarious, and poor cowbell haha...you even got the piccolo in there! Everybody! A one, two, three...Thanks, Frank! The ladies will love it! 🙌😂
but no French horn ! 😢😢
@@steffurness Aww, sorry. I guess he couldn't fit it in the room! Lol.
@@StephanieJeanne lol French horns are pretty compact - it's tubas and sousaphones that are huge, but pretty sure I spotted a brief tuba appearance doing an 'oomp-a' lol
As a saxophone player I am very sad to not be included in this skit.
But as a former band kid I can say the rest of this was absolutely spot on😂
As a (somewhat) mad (cute) teacher who’s also a piano player I‘ve always been into the acoustic guitar player…
The voices of Oboe and Clarinet were perfect!
LOL, the clarinet sounding like Squidward is genius
Finally calling out the trumpets! I love that we have this shared experience of dealing with the trumpet section....
And French Horns would be the ones sitting quietly in the back but then pulling a mad improv solo/ harmony at the last minute while everyone is playing.
Really amazing how accurate some of these are. Almost like Frank used to play in a high school band himself... Love the musical content like this. I really love the rivalry between piano and guitar, though I think there are quite a few pianists out there who don't follow the rest of the band/orchestra well either...
As an ISTJ, I can confidently say piano and violin are the best duo, with the occasional third wheel of the harp.
real
I feel like as an ISTJ, there are only two options. 1.) A piano and a vocalist, or 2.) a piano. Let's be concise and efficient here, folks!
As an ENFP who’s a violinist I can’t disagree
Here it is. The sketch I've been waiting for months, and it's just awesome , as always ❤❤❤
I missed the Triangle going "Bing" randomly at some point and then dissapearing.
You’re endlessly creative 😂
The acoustic guitar randomly singing Wonderwall 😂
The squidward voice for the clarinet - absolute genius 😂
😂 as a clarinetist I fully agreed with the "typical" response to the oboe. (Seriously, such a diva. 😒)
So much truth on the trumpet railroading the flute. 😢❤
The piccolo believing he can get ladies... 🤦🏻♀️😂
Acoustic guitar only playing Wonderwall took me back to college days. 😂
Would love you to do more musical instruments as people sketches. You could introduce Eastern instruments or have them respond to a capella.
❤ your work, FJ! And keep up the puns (like the bagpipe one)-- always has me in stitches! 😆
Plus, references like SNL's cowbell. You just needed Walken. 😎
Laughed out loud at the piccolo being all about the ladies!
Very well orchestrated! 😅😊
How is this already one of my favourite FJ videos ever?!
As a violinist and a bassist, this is perfectly hilarious and accurate.
This was beautiful 😍 as a musician, this was accurate for everyone band rehearsal ever
THE SQUIDWARD VOICE FOR THE CLARINET 🤩😊
As a flute player, I have heard my band director tell the trumpets many times to be quieter so he could hear the flutes 😂 One of the funniest skits I've seen in a while
Trombone gets me every time. I can't explain why, but it's absolutely hilarious.
The trumpet and flute joke was hilarious 😅
I’ve been waiting for this! I’m a huge music nerd and bass player and all of this is totally accurate. Approved 👍🏼
FJ really gettin' into music this week. First the rap and second this video
Now I have "Wonderwall" stuck in my head. Thanks.
In defence of Cowbell can I just say: "Grazing in the Grass" by the incomparable Hugh Masekela.
As a euphonist, its typical we were forgotten again.
I love the cowbell acknowledgment, lol! That is one of my favorite comedy skits 😂 Um, the SNL skit. Don't worry, uh... you're funny too... 😳😁😜
Love the Piano so much.
As a flute and piccolo player this was so accurate lol. The trumpet players at my school always steal my ideas. Also my band director's primary instrument is trumpet and he focuses way more on the brass instruments than the woodwinds, especially in marching band. Luckily I get to play picc in marching band this year! (I think my band director has something against picc in marching band. The last 3 shows we did didn't even have a picc part)
I burst out laughing when the piano just raged at the acoustic guitar when he started randomly singing. He just has a mind of his own!🤣
Flute being silenced by trumpet is so relatable 😭😭
I played the flute from elementary school all the way to high school and that’s so accurate we could never be heard
This sketch was adorable😂
As a bassist (Upright and normal), this was pretty accurate.
Also i loved the Squidward voice for the clarinet
1:01 i had to pause the video to keep laughing at the cello viola violin siblings 😂
As a string player, I totally agree. In my opinion, violin is the youngest child because they are always front and center with the melody (and the attention 🙄), cello would be the oldest because they always hold it together and are the large support. And viola would probably be the underrated middle child because everyone unfortunately forgets about them
As a trumpeter, the overrepresentation- shut up flute, i think was spot-on
If they practice 40 hours a day they might just graduate to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
lingling 40
hours
twoset
As a singer, I'd like to see this, but with different types of choir people
The clarinet barley saying a word is exactly me…
Okay I'll finally say it. Doesn't anyone else love his chest hair?! This video definitely showed more of it. Especially with the Spanish guitar
the clarinet-
"typical"
XD
As a band player, I appreciate this
Bongos and accordion… too typical…ohh my god, this is just too good! Lmaooo😆😆😆😆
Very clever and entertaining!
this is just chaos and I love it
I’m so pleased you made this happen so quickly, Mr. Frank James. I’m impressed! Bravi(o)!
typical of double bass getting missed out on the string section heh
As both a pianist and an organization nerd, I approve of the piano being the guy trying to coordinate everyone.
As a band kid, I love this
Piano is so accurate
I play trombone and the “womp womp” is very accurate
1:35 elementary school band class flashback
Piccolo: "Me, too" LOL!!! Ok, even more LOL, Clarinet calling "typical" on oboe having reed issues, because IT'S SO TRUE! Frank, Flute was INFJ, wasn't it? Oh, hahahahaha....you're killing me...."hot cross buns".....HAHAHAHAA! Loved the white glasses on Violin, and the final performance slayed me. THIS IS YOUR BEST EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
