Looksharp staysmart we would do that in jazz bands and while our director was working with other kids(we had an ok size group) the saxophones(me included 😂)would be on their phones and using Snapchat
Had a kid in my Middle School 7th grade class never change his reed because his mom told him not to. Smh. The kid was still in 8th grade when all the rest of us were moving to Sophomore year and doing Honors auditions.
My teachers cuts us off mid song to show us this video. We all crowd around his phone watching the video, As We yell out the names of the people who do that! Thank you so much for making band class more exciting!
In middle school it’s like “the mile made me tired. I don’t wanna play” In high school it’s like “Wooh! Just ran the mile! I’m pumped up! Let’s do this!”
Grace Gittinger Whenever one of us trombonists goes to “eighth position” my director writes our name on the board under a special heading called eighth position club.
Excellent.. I would add "Can I do homework today" kid, "I need a reed" kid, "my slide doesn't move" kid and "I don't know where my music is" drummer. My personal favorite "awkwardly leave instrument on chair so it gets knocked onto the floor and broken" kid.
Jonathan Cole I totally understand where you're coming from, in my band we had kids like this. One kid out there trumpet on a chant and it fell off and the mouth piece got stuck and we had another time when two kids put a water bottle in either the baritone or the tuba and they couldn't get it out 🤦🏼♀️ and our bind director was not pleased
*cough cough* the new tuba/baritone players that put the instrument on their chair instead of on the bell when they get up -- im a new tubs player and i would never try to put it on my chair
one of the band moms posted this on facebook and i was thinking, “thank god we’re not in MS anymore ahaha” before realizing this is still what hs band is like
From what I've gathered is that many middle school band directors probably would want to teach high school of they weren't required to do marching band. So, if there were no marching band would we even have middle school band directors?
oh my goooood, my tuba has been decimated multiple times by other kids thinking it’s a basketball hoop for random objects, on the plus side my tuba gets bi monthly repairs and i never have to pay
This man is also the codirector of my high school band and he’s so funny. He’s like this in class. Today for May fest we got two new songs and one of them was one day more from les mis and he showed us a video of him singing all of the parts. He’s a great director 😂😂
Thanks TH-cam to recommendations. After playing trumpet for 9 years and having started back when I was in grade school, this hits home. "CaN yOu ReMoVe My MoUtHpIeCe?"
Percussion section: teacher what’s a guiro? There’s only one mallet We don’t have a ____ Who’s playing the snare this time Do we really need the (insert unnecessary instrument) Wait don’t start! I’m still tuning the timpani! Wait so this section is tiki ta ta tiki tiki ta tiki ? We can’t find our music Can’t forget that moment when percussion messes up and the whole ensemble turns their heads and just stares 😂🙄
N Aligawesa our person was playing mallets and he has a solo in our Christmas song and he was going so fast compared to the tempo and it screwed us up when we started playing
Cheezit We only have two percussionists (including me) and the other person does not listen to everyone else nor does he watch the conductor. This means that we (the whole band) all learned to tune him out while we all play
Shannon Lynne band kids don't really know how to share stands you are 💯% accurate I know this because I am that kid, I also don't like sharing music so when we would have a performance the person I always sit next to and I would share the stand and music and with time he learned that we just use my music because mine is always neater and I write things on mine lol 😂
2:33 BUT SOMEBODY ACTUALLY TOOK MY DRUMSTICK ON FRIDAY! I put them both on a stand at the start of rehearsal, went over to the mallets for warm-ups, and when I got back there was only 1 there! I found it by the end of rehearsal, on a table for the auxillary stuff I am NOWHERE near.
Vesnake 11 that happens to me all the time! I’m a short girl who is in percussion with 5 tall guys, the guys always like to steal my sticks and hold them over my head, hide them, or put them in shelves that I can’t reach, it’s stressful
You know for a fact he’s quoting everything he’s heard before
Ikr i’ve seen these all but with an orchestra teacher
This is my band director lmao
@Trashy Artz wait rlly?
@Trashy Artz oh lol, no this actually was my band director, we actually had two, him and this bald guy
As a middle school band teacher...I've heard/seen 90% of these THIS WEEK. It's only Wednesday.
Don't forget people putting their phones on their music stands lmfao
Looksharp staysmart we would do that in jazz bands and while our director was working with other kids(we had an ok size group) the saxophones(me included 😂)would be on their phones and using Snapchat
I do that to hold my music down
ME IN ALL MY BANDS
Amen
Looksharp staysmart everytime i see someone do that i yell ‘cellular device’ ‘is that a cellular device i see?’ ‘PUT YOUR ANDROID AWAY’

@czar what?
@czar I don't know what that means does it mean like I know right
the decimated clarinet reed was so ridiculously accurate
Legit the clarinets and saxophones in my class will get confused when they squeak even though they've had the same reed for the last 3-5 months.
@@genarorodriguez4121 jeez... The perfect sax Reed lasts for 2 months how they play it for 5 😂😂😂
@@kirkt3970 Idk they just forget to change it out. I'm not sure how it works since i'm a trombone player.
@@genarorodriguez4121 My alto reed works perfectly for almost the whole year
Had a kid in my Middle School 7th grade class never change his reed because his mom told him not to. Smh. The kid was still in 8th grade when all the rest of us were moving to Sophomore year and doing Honors auditions.
HOW DO YOU NOT HAVE A CLARINET MOUTH PIECE???
I lose my sax mouth piece
I don’t know, but it still happens!
Ikr thats was a little dramtic
I use to share my clarinet with someone else and sometimes I would forget to bring my mouthpiece.
Promina I
LIKE HOW
My teachers cuts us off mid song to show us this video. We all crowd around his phone watching the video, As We yell out the names of the people who do that! Thank you so much for making band class more exciting!
Stella Rae mine did that too.
Stella Rae lol
Stella Rae SAME!!
Stella Rae Same my band teacher also did this
Stella Rae he’s our band teacher😂
0:20 “Do we have to play today? i just ran the mile!”
omg that was so me! i had PE right before band
In middle school it’s like “the mile made me tired. I don’t wanna play”
In high school it’s like “Wooh! Just ran the mile! I’m pumped up! Let’s do this!”
*that's me but with orchestra*
I have P.E before band :(
SAME, but I didn't ask if I couldn't play band cause I love it, but during the whole hour I can barely breathe lol
Yeah I have PE before band too
I love how the trombone going to "8th position" is the last clip, such a middle school experience lol
Grace Gittinger Whenever one of us trombonists goes to “eighth position” my director writes our name on the board under a special heading called eighth position club.
I literally went to 9th position once, I was going from Bb to B several times and uhh... my slide ended up on the other of of my bedroom.
Grace Gittinger As a Trombone player, I must agree.
As a hs trombonist, if it happens the whole band will know. Everyone
While doing that I accidentally launched my slide across the room xD
Excellent.. I would add "Can I do homework today" kid, "I need a reed" kid, "my slide doesn't move" kid and "I don't know where my music is" drummer. My personal favorite "awkwardly leave instrument on chair so it gets knocked onto the floor and broken" kid.

Jonathan Cole
Or a “My valve is stuck”and “one of the susaphone players got locked in their locker”
or the "can i go get my valve oil"
What about the percussionist who always drops his symbols
*cough cough* the new tuba/baritone players that put the instrument on their chair instead of on the bell when they get up -- im a new tubs player and i would never try to put it on my chair
one of the band moms posted this on facebook and i was thinking, “thank god we’re not in MS anymore ahaha” before realizing this is still what hs band is like
jocelyn I don’t know what kind of high school band you are in, but I don’t think that’s true
Tungsten 5 public school
Tungsten 5 nope it’s very true
chanie not in marching band lol if you act like this you would get banned from band at my school
lmao was thinking the same thing. honestly, high school is worse than when i was in middle school. everybody complains all the damn time lol
2:42 was literally my life in middle school
That was me in September but now i'm fine.
Omg so true. Last year, in 6th grade, I ligit did that on my first day!
Lol me too
Trombone Addiction me
Bro I was having a trombone duet and that literally happened to me
“My clarinet won’t play” oh lord that’s so middle school
my middle school band director gives us speeches about how we’re waisting his heart beats
Me lol
My old middle school band director took some of the student’s chair for protesting against trump
M Meow oh. Yikes...
Mine talks about how we have diarrhea of the mouth lmao.
This is my new favorite insult
@@melaniep4099people protested in band !?
No valve oil
No reed
Instrument is always "in the shop"
Moose_Latte so true
Middle school band is the ultimate embodiment of absolute chaos, and any one who seeks to tame the untamable has strength beyond a mere mortal.
Lol
From what I've gathered is that many middle school band directors probably would want to teach high school of they weren't required to do marching band. So, if there were no marching band would we even have middle school band directors?
A day in the life of a middle school band teacher:
*No you cannot put that in the tuba*
oh my goooood, my tuba has been decimated multiple times by other kids thinking it’s a basketball hoop for random objects, on the plus side my tuba gets bi monthly repairs and i never have to pay
This is real. This is real life. I'm glad I teach elementary band. Or am I? 😂😂😂
Stephanie Douglass
Be glad. Be veeeeeery glad.
lol
Wow me too
Stephanie Douglass that’s a thing??? wtf
i wish i would’ve learned my instrument in elementary bc at competitions those kids seem better. i’m just as good but i feel behind
My husband and I have watched this many times. This is genius. My son loves having you as a band teacher.
Andrea Stephens are you conor stephens mom
Im suprised that nigga didnt shoot up the school lmao😂
Hi, Conor Stephens' mom
Andrea Stephens this is probably Wisconsin or some shit
Or some random northern state Idc for the north just the south , AKA TEXAS
You forgot the infamous “what measure are we at”
Classic
Oml that’s me and I have marching band camp for highschool 💀
"WhY ArE tHeRe So MaNy StAnDs?!" BRO THATS SO ME WHEN THE FRONT ROW IS A MESS.
MIDDLE SCHOOL BAND TEACHER - CAN CONFIRM
My teacher showed us this and now I’m rewatching it 😂
SAME!
This man is also the codirector of my high school band and he’s so funny. He’s like this in class. Today for May fest we got two new songs and one of them was one day more from les mis and he showed us a video of him singing all of the parts. He’s a great director 😂😂
Don’t forget
“Uh, teacher, how do I play this note?”
*points at a note that you learn in fifth grade*
ShesAHandsomeBeebo I’m guilty of that lol
I didnt have band in fifth grade... probably because my school was a small public school that's in a farm town with the population of 1,000.
I wish I had band when I was in fifth grade.
I play bass clef and in elementary all we had was treble clef worksheets
I didn't have band in elementary
As an 8th grade band kid this is entirely accurate
same
Same
Same
Same
Our teacher showed us this and we just listed who was who like
“Robert!”
“Charlie!”
“Alice!”
“Oh my god that is so Randy!”
I have two people in my band class who are named Charlie and Randy. (In case you're wondering, Charlie plays Trumpet and Randy plays Alto Saxophone.)
This brought me back 😂 and reminded me that band directors are SAINTS.
Keep up the great work I look forward to more vids like these! 🤣😄
1:12 as a flautist i can confirm that there are always a horde of stands in the flute section even though there’s only 4 of us at most
As a flautist, we take the stands to bother people
"Can we get a concert B flat?"
*kid plays B flat instead of concert B flat*
My teacher showed us this video in class all the clarinets laughed at the reed part
The struggle is real!
The one about the drummers was spot on I’ll admit it.
Thanks TH-cam to recommendations.
After playing trumpet for 9 years and having started back when I was in grade school, this hits home.
"CaN yOu ReMoVe My MoUtHpIeCe?"
You could at least say my mouth hurts 100%
My band teacher showed us this after we came inside from marching. I can say that this video is completely accurate.
I died laughing when I saw that clarinet reed!
Percussion section:
teacher what’s a guiro?
There’s only one mallet
We don’t have a ____
Who’s playing the snare this time
Do we really need the
(insert unnecessary instrument)
Wait don’t start! I’m still tuning the timpani!
Wait so this section is
tiki ta ta tiki tiki ta tiki ?
We can’t find our music
Can’t forget that moment when percussion messes up and the whole ensemble turns their heads and just stares 😂🙄
Percussion land is a whole other animal! As I read this I was shaking my head 'yup'...'uhuh'...'yup'...
As a high school percussionist I can relate 😂
N Aligawesa our person was playing mallets and he has a solo in our Christmas song and he was going so fast compared to the tempo and it screwed us up when we started playing
Cheezit We only have two percussionists (including me) and the other person does not listen to everyone else nor does he watch the conductor. This means that we (the whole band) all learned to tune him out while we all play
This hits home so bad😩
this is exactly how my kids are. every time. hilarious!! 🤣🤣
1:43
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY BANDMATES I S2FG
The best part is, I am a student of this guy. I have had him for about three and a half years. This man is great.
2:44 Me and my friends all the time XD trombone is hard
My clarinet won't play.
(giant hole in reed)
Me: Hmmm here I wonder why! 😑
2:39 this happened to me when I was taking a look at my friend's drumsticks-
You are awesome and this is so true. I'm sending to all my students just to have them know how much I miss them during this crazy time.
this is what teachers secretly do during staff development days
This is 100% accurate! Thanks for posting!
My band teacher showed us this today, great video 🤣
Pretty accurate to my class too!
As an intern at the middle school level, I’ve seen every single one and then some 😂
This video is absolutely hilarious! 😂 We especially like the trumpets “trying” to play high notes. Oh, and of course, the dropped trombone slide!
My teacher stopped us mid practice to show us this and was throwing major shade at one kid in the band lol. But our class had a good laugh! Thanks!
My band teacher showed us this and said it was surprisingly accurate
The last one happened at my sixth grade band concert. Lol
I love this! this is so relatable
This is fantastic!!!! Thank you!!!!
Montreal, Quebec
2:39is legit me every time when ever I oil my slide lmao 😂
this video makes me genuinely happy
THIS WHOLE THING IS SUPER ACCURATE!!
My teacher rants about how turtles are stupid and have no brains
“Do we have to play today? I just ran the mile.”
Me every time I realize it’s band class
This was my class back in middle school, definitely showing this to my band teacher!
All of these are pretty accurate I love your videos btw
1:12 is the orchestra kids that have class right after the band class because band doesn't know how to share stands
Shannon Lynne band kids don't really know how to share stands you are 💯% accurate I know this because I am that kid, I also don't like sharing music so when we would have a performance the person I always sit next to and I would share the stand and music and with time he learned that we just use my music because mine is always neater and I write things on mine lol 😂
Lol my teacher forces us to share
my ms has two different rooms and classes for band and orchestra lol
Pfft who would share stands?
This is the most accurate thing I’ve ever watched in my life.
This is the best!!! I played in band during my Jr high years. Oh how I feel for you poor band teachers today!! God Bless You!! 💖💖💖😊😊😊
this is the first one of these i’ve seen that’s accurate and actually funny!
Image walking in when he’s filming this
“ *uhhh Mr. Chamberlin is doing it again* ”
1:57 is me having trouble setting up my stand
So entertaining, yet so relateable!
I empathise so much for all our middle school music teachers, truly an under-appreciated title.
100% Accurate!
Living legend right here
the most beautiful thing ever
i’m in high school and i can still relate to playing a high note on a trumpet and your like YESS
When u did that whole explanation for “I dont have my flute”. I died bc thats me ksksksksksk
1:29 is literally me everyday
Bless you! Tough job!!!
A lot of these are still relivent even in high school XD
Lol perfect impression
2:33 BUT SOMEBODY ACTUALLY TOOK MY DRUMSTICK ON FRIDAY! I put them both on a stand at the start of rehearsal, went over to the mallets for warm-ups, and when I got back there was only 1 there! I found it by the end of rehearsal, on a table for the auxillary stuff I am NOWHERE near.

I can't explain how much he put efforts on this.. so amazing
Love this. Just subscribed. I RELATE to this sooo much!!!
Love it
0:54 Well you don’t know what it’s like to get an oboe reed stuck
I don’t think I have ever watched anything more relatable then this before 🤣
It's incredibly hilarious that I can recall being and seeing those types of kids.
"Who leaves their stand this high!?"
Awnser: the 8th graders
Only trumpets in the jazz band would need it that high.
"Highly Effective" video analysis of the life of the Middle School band Director! :-)
Band Directors are probably the most chill teachers ever
This video cracks me up every time I watch it. Scary to think this my future job..
8/8 gr8 m8
One time in my band class we threw pencils and they got stuck in the ceiling
This is actually so true! You just got urself another like and sub!
IM DYINGGGGG 😂😂😂 this is TOO ACCURATE
He’s my band teacher he showed us this in class 😂
*dabs*
Why did I use an emoji oh god oh frick
Lol 2:08 is so meeee lol😂😂😂
The last one is so relatable especially when marching the first year
WHY IS THIS SO ACCURATE
You know good and damn well he was mocking his one baritone player
I mean that clarinet impression was totally spot on! Half of the time that's me 😂
This makes me happy.
This was not what I was expecting out of this video. But it was amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
