The entire middle school band was fake “playing”!! #peteytvprof

[catsgopurreco]

dont worry they are just playing silent night

[smbmp]

My director would of been like, "YALL BETTER STOP PLAYING WITH ME!"

[brayden]

They’re probably playing 4’33 by John Cage. It’s literally 4 minutes and 33 seconds of silence. Cage’s theory was that all noises and sounds are music.

[arimauseth]

Our director would start laughing and then make us restart

[strawlover]

This is called “air playing” most the time they do this before they play the actually song, it’s a way to practice (slide positions, value combinations, etc.) without making any sound.

[AppleShineWC]

This isn’t the actual concert lmao, this is a warmup people do.

[GK_cant_Art]

For those who don’t know, they’re not all faking it. They’re fingering through the music to warm up without actually playing the song

this isnt for before a concert, its durring the sight reading part of a festival. before students sight read/play the piece they go through it with the band director air playing it.

[alexprice]

This is either a warm up or they are sight reading the music before playing

[Gracie.wacie_]

This is rlly funny lmao but I think they are just warming up 😂

[mouhiazeck]

Nah they're just playing John Cage

[WadeWiggins]

They are in sight reading session. They aren’t allowed to play before time and the director is taking them through an imaginary time where they think the music before they have one chance to start play and end the real music in front of the judge. This is a warmup teaching exercise for sight reading.

[alexaguilar]

My director would have left then and there

[sofiaandersen]

My director would be pissed, no livid if we pulled this stunt😅. He’s the kind of guy who is chill with practically anything but when he’s mad he is almost scary

[tinykitters]

My choir director would not let that pass ima tell you that 💀

[Matcha_Loca]

They are sight reading, no need to post this, support the students..

[XxChiefxX]

This is called what my band directors call fingering through the song. Basically, the conductor gives the tempo and we finger through the positioning for each note. It’s a way to make sure you don’t accidentally play a wrong note.

[livv.luvvs.u]

My director wouldve quit on spot and tell us we are worthless 😅

[yourboiFluff]

Nah the director just needed to warm up

[qckkpxt]

My director would have closed the curtains and yelled at us

[dawnnagle]

What’s an awesome performance he had on stage at school so cute😂
