everyone is always talking about the football players having to do two-a-days in the sweltering heat but aren’t the band kids practicing too, in just as hot uniforms, carrying sometimes big metal instruments half their size, marching in the sun, over and over? well this is just to say: we see you band kids, we know you’re busting yr butts. so come on in to the air conditioned denny’s after practice, and if you need an extra booth for all the tubas, we can probably accommodate you.
Denny’s we don’t practice in uniform
Shush. Someone besides band kids recognize us. Don’t ruin it.
i’m so jealous of people who can play piano because you can show off your skills so subtly, like, oh there’s a piano here i’ll tap out a fun song. but with any other instrument it’s like HERE I’LL JUST WHIP OUT MY VIOLA or GOOD THING I BROUGHT MY FRENCH HORN HERE WITH ME
IVE BEEN CARRYING THIS UPRIGHT BASS AROUND FOR JUST THIS MOMENT
#OKAY BUT HERE’S THE THING#i’ve played flute for a half dozen years or so#and i tried picc once or twice but last year i became my band’s Official Picc Player and i got my picc and it’s. so small. omg.#like i’m talking the picc is maybe ten inches and the case is set up so it’s maybe eight inches across it’s TINY#and right when i got the picc i was in the midst of hoodie weather#and i had this new hoodie that had a huge front pocket and i loved it#so i had my picc and i was hurrying somewhere and needed both my hands so i just shoved the piccolo in the hoodie pocket#and i kind of forgot about it (as much as you can forget putting an instrument in your pocket) but then in my english class#someone was making jokes about band kids and how obsessed they are#and they went ‘i wouldn’t be surprised if jaz had an instrument right now’#and it was just one of those moments where like#the stars aligned#everything was perfect#and i just went ‘well actually’#and pulled the piccolo out of my pocket#and the entire room LOST IT (via officialseancassidy)
