share your school orchestra/band instrument horror stories with me
i’ll start:
a girl in my high school orchestra dragged her bass around by the scroll everywhere and broke chunks off
I was in band with a girl who played a several thousand dollar flute (that was owned by the school) with gum in her mouth.
I was in band… And we had trumpets.
A kid once borrowed a cello and brought it back in a soft case. After he left I opened the case and the the scroll was broken in half and the bridge was snapped.
There was a kid swinging his violin by the neck and dropped it, bridge broke and the violin had a huge crack.
A kid in my band dropped his tuba off the first riser. Big sound. Big dent. Heart attack
A girl in my band accidentally sat on her clarinet and broke it in half.
a kid in a year 8 class I assist got a pencil stuck down the (dented) bell end of the trumpet. it wasn’t even a proper seal so we couldn’t even blow it out, one of the teachers managed it
Clarinetist jumped on her clarinet
Different clarinetist’s cork broke off her mouthpiece right before we went on stage
Ran a stand trolley into a Xylophone (noise was actually quite musical)
My friends trumpet was dented down on the bell, he tried to correct it one day in class, ended up looking like dizzie gillespie’s trumpet then proceded to play on said trumpet
One of the tubas has a tradition where he would “Tubatize” you, basically sticking his bell on your head and playing a single note. And when I got Tubatized, the bell got stuck on my head so I (a euphonium) preceded to play with my head in a bell before we got it off
this sounds like a great tradition tbqh
