Reblog this if you play more than one instrument, and tag the instruments you play.

dreamwithsilverlining:

I want to see how many people on this website can play multiple instruments, just out of curiosity.

This is my most favourite thing ever

I’ve wanted to do this for literally years.

Marching band for the win

They literally told us to do this the first week of rookie camp if someone tries to break your ranks oh my god

People in marching arts are some of the most dedicated people I know. We spend thousands of dollars to get yelled at. We fly and drive hundreds of miles to be with people we may never see again after the season. We sacrifice summers and weekends for sore muscles and headaches. We leave the comforts of “the real world” to live in high school gyms, busses and shower in different places every day. We give up a lot just to walk away with memories and a family. But I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Fun Story: My director kept telling me and my tenor sax buddy to play softer. No matter what we did, it wasn’t soft enough for him. So getting frustrated, I told my buddy “Dont play this time. Just fake it” 
Our Band Director then informed us we sounded perfect. 

To my readers: “p” means quiet, “pp” means really quiet. I’ve never seen “pppp” before haha.
On the contrast, “f” means loud, and “ffff” probably means so loud you go unconscious.

I had ffff in a piece once and my conductor told me to play as loudly as physically possible without falling off my chair…

oh music
