A summary of common band pieces

-Chorale and Shaker Dance: everyone’s played it but no one remembers how it goes -Emperata Overture: your introduction to mixed meter -Let’s Go Band: All rise for the band geek anthem -Jupiter: clarinet massacre, then everyone praises god -Angels in the Architecture: demons maul an angel and crash a Jewish wedding, then get owned by heaven (mostly) -Second Suite in F: euphonium anxiety -Stars and Stripes Forever: piccolo anxiety -Blue Shades: clarinet anxiety -Anything by John Mackey: *experimenting on Finale Notepad* -Any Sousa march: horns go die -Irish Tune from Country Derry: woodwinds wait forever, then brass wait forever -Vesuvius: ALL THE RATCHETS -Molly on the Shore: the same thing but a million times -Concord: red-blooded patriotism but in 7/8 -Sleigh Ride: annual winter torture -Pomp and Circumstance: annual summer torture -Anything by Eric Whitacre: heavenly choirs -Variations on a Korean Folk Song: the only Asian band piece most of you will ever play

Theater kids nailing “no food or drink” signs all over “their” performing arts building: we make the rules

Choir kids exploiting 3 loopholes, slirping down cup noodles in the bathroom so the teachers won’t see them: we’re the reason for the rules

Orchestra kids lying in the middle of the hallway right in font of the “no food or drink” signs with pizza and soda: the rules don’t apply to us

I am both the theatre and the orchestra kid

The American Dream

So we were having a class discussion and everyone has to speak, we were discussing the American Dream and if it is accessible to everyone equally, so it gets to me and I say “The American Dream is like pineapple pizza, it’s not for everyone, some people are allergic to the pineapple, and some people love it, but it is still not for everyone.”

dynamics yo

Okay soooooooo I know how I want this quintet to sound in my head, but there’s a section where neither mf nor mp will cut it. SO, I kinda did this

Will performers take this seriously? Is this allowed? I figured that we’re in the contemporary era, and modern composers vomit all sorts of arbitrary markings in their own scores, so why not?

flutejesus

Tbh if I saw this I’d just aim for between mp and mf so

maddogmp3

The true middle we all needed, but didn’t know we needed

sunflowers-and-bullshit

I…..I…..I…..don’t know what to say. I’m almost satisfied by this since I’ve always wondered about the middle of mp and mf…..

composerinprogress

okay, but if m means blatantly in the middle, then what would this dynamic marking mean?

pop-punk-at-its-fckin-finest

mezzo meh

classical-crap

petition for “m” to become a real dynamic marking because sometimes I don’t want the performer to be playing on the softer or louder side and I just want the true middle

Do trumpet players naturally have an ego before playing trumpet, or does always having the main melody of a song give trumpetists their ego?

official-saxoboist

Choosing an instrument is like choosing a wand in Harry Potter. The ego is drawn to the trumpet and the trumpet draws out the ego.

It's about that time again

Dear music major college students who are debasing switching next semester due to non supportive forces:

-You didn’t choose a dead end major -You can make a living off it -Don’t let anyone stop you -It’s a highly respectable and necessary career

Past, present and future music majors, please reblog if you’ve been asked “what’s your back up plan?” And you proved them wrong.

Time to make a dancing Tide Pod since those seem to be popular now and I haven’t made a stupid gif in a while.

Mmmmmm, delicioso!

Honestly, as a brass player, I don’t understand the embouchure thing either😂 And as for the rest of it… agree 100%. We all think each other’s things are harder than our own, because we’re used to our own. I look at woodwinds with like 82736 pinky keys and then me with 4 keys total like… ???? How??? •Brasshole• http://ift.tt/2FYMJSL

I once took both of my marching shoes off right before half time at a football game and left them on the sidelines. The band director never noticed.
