Anyways just as I thought the violins ruined everything

As a viola, here was my experience (and every single other viola experienced this)

Also this is literally just a rant

Firstly. I just need get out that the FUCKING VIOLAS ARE ALWAYS FORGOTTEN IM SOBBING

They literally forgot about us. And I'm not even lying THEY FORGOT TO TUNE US AND THE VIOLAS ENDED UP COMING LATE BECAUSE WE WERE TUNED LAST MINUTE

oh, and speaking of tuning. We can't tune ourselves because guess who is so bad that we aren't trusted to tune ourselves?

Thats right! THE FUCKING VIOLINS.

Not only that, but you want to know what happened while we were waiting to be tuned?

The violins were still trying to learn the pieces.

And I don't mean they were just practicing to try and get better.. no no, thr violins are shitty. Why would you expect that from them?

The Orchestra teacher was making sure they actually could play the songs (they couldn't. They were so bad.)

Also, in one of the songs we were meant to have the lights off for extra effect. To make it more fun or whatever, yknow?

Well guess who was so bad and couldn't memorize the song that ruined it for everyone and prevented the whole Orchestra from playing in the dark?

The violins.

To make it worse, that song was the EASIEST ONE. For that song you could fucking learn till like.. measure 9 and you'd have almost the whole song done. (It was a very repetitive song)

I swear to God the violins in my orchestra are so shitty

And also, if I'm gonna be real. The violas are the best ones there. We played best I won't lie, but guess what? We never get anything special. Never any special melodies, difficult parts, or anything special whatsoever.

Its putting good skill to waste.

What is your goal as a musician?

My goal is to show African Americans that classical music is for us too, and that you don't have to be rich to do it.
