1. Steal Some Trumpet Player's Trumpet (or Just Get One, Either Works)

Tfw you get self conscious bcuz you have to share a stand and your partner can see your music and what you have (havent) written on it

posting things to the wrong blog,,,, end me

As a trumpet player I feel obligated to make this post because I haven’t seen anyone make one for trumpet yet so...

Apple

A very nice start! He is very shiny. He seems to be missing the first slide saddle and also some spit valves. His bell is rather large a trumpet his size, but overall, a very beautiful boy! 8/10

Google

Where are his slides? A trumpet is not just buttons, mind you. His tubing has disappeared. 2/10

Microsoft

His valves do not go anywhere??? There are still no slides, as well. The black outline gives it a bulkier look and it does not suit him well. -2/10

Samsung

Ok slightly back on track here. His tubing is better than the last two, yet still no slides. His bell is oversized again, but this seems to be becoming a trend. 4/10

WhatsApp

And we’ve fallen behind again. At least his bell is normal size. The tubing and slides have fallen victim to the emoji norms. 0/10

Twitter

aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAA    -328050982/10

Facebook

Wow, he has a ring! It is an oversized ring to match his oversized bell, but a ring nonetheless. His tubing is gone, but his mouthpiece looks relatively normal. 3/10

JoyPixels

He looks like a trumpet! His bell is flat, but he has slides!!!! And tubing!!! 8/10

emojidex

That’s a trumpet! His bell is a bit round, but his tubing and slides are on point! He even has spit valves! 9/10

Messenger

Just when we were getting on track. His bell is obviously dented in some way if you can see the other side of it. He has no tubing, either, but his mouthpiece looks okay. 1/10

LG

I’ve never seen this instrument before, what’s it called? -3589053425092346587/10

HTC

I have been told that standing a trumpet on it’s bell damages it. His tubing is nonexistent, and his mouthpiece looks like a mushroom. 0/10

Mozilla

His tubing is thicc. Where is his mouthpiece? And slides? 2/10

SoftBank

That is a good looking boi! He has no slides, but he looks better than the last few and, frankly, I was excited to see a good-ish one. 4/10

Docomo

Uh, it’s trumpet line art, but okay then. He has no slides tho. 3/10

Well this has taken some time and my files are now cluttered with gross trumpet emojis. Have a nice day, frens!

“marching band is a dweeb loser thing to do” yeah and?

Happy End of Marching Season!

Actually no, I still havent done my symphonic band chair placements but they're due today? Like havent even sight read them, guys, I'm screwed. And I'll miss marching band?

Tomorrow's the end of season party and the last time I'll be seeing 17/24 trumpets until I decide to crash a concert band sectional. Plus two of them switched to french horn, so idk.

Our marching band is two periods a day, so I'm getting another study hall, which is both good and bad, so that's fun.

I'm just kinda hoping I do mediocre on the placements rn? I did this last year and got second chair in concert band, and then first chair guy switched school and I was section leader. The symphonic band kids know what they're doing, though? And I'm the only one without private lessons? I'm s c a r e d?

Anyway, I'll miss marching band. The kids there were chill and I'll miss them too. Happy concert season!

Do you hear sleigh bells yet? ;)

After years of being told off for my instrument choice because "trumpet is the easiest instrument" and "I can play taps trumpet is super easy" and even "I played some notes as a boy scout it was very easy"

I have come to a standpoint.

Yes, trumpet is easy to play, but trumpet is very hard to be good at.

Thank you I am tired of clarinets saying I'm useless

Edit: Tumblr clarinets are v chill ily the clarinets in my class sucK

Hello everyone my tumblr got hacked sry abt that one ad!

And hey! If yours get hacked! Check your queue! They store stuff there!!

So yesterday at our game, I literally face planted on the stands and my knees hurt real bad :) The BD yelled that we had 30 secs to get to our seats, so I started skipping steps and I fell and hit my chin, so that's fun!

But really, share your Fall™ stories I am curious about the clumsiness of band kids

A Short History of Marching Band Cults.

Why are we like this? Good question! Let's start in the beginning.

By the beginning, I mean middle school, by the way. Middle school - when you start embracing the fact that band is your life now and you cant escape it! All your friends have either left you or joined band because you dont have a life!

Then, high school rolls around. Most of middle school band wants their friends back at this point, so they abandon band and do, idk, cheerleading or smth for popularity!

Then there are the diehard band nerds. These people stay in band through high school. They, near the conclusion of band camp, are admitted into the Marching Band Cult.

A cult is extreme for this, you say? Ah, that's where you're wrong! We regularly worship our Marching Band Gods and pray that we dont face plant. We hold a sacrafice of one trumpet or flute player a year, as their sections are too crowded anyway. We bleed for band, especially when our instruments are wanted for attempted murder, but we love our children. Most of our instruments are named really weirdly. We have led the new ones into this trap.

The ones who esca- leave think that they made a mistake joining in the first place, but how wrong they are. As you join us, the attention whistle sounds, a circle forms in the background, you are home.
