being a bassoon player in marching band

I had to use a green screen because I would NEVER take my bassoon outside

the rite of spring is such a cool concept for a marching band show

[EthanThest]

I can neither confirm nor deny if this is true

edit: I don't do marching band

edit 2: we don't have bassoons

We had a bassoon solo this year. He played the firebird solo. It was so cool.

[calvinnguyen]

Ah, rite of spring. The only reason to have a bassoon anywhere near a football field lol

[vekomavich]

The fact that our Marching Band show had a bassoon solo from our center snare

[lolok]

its either this...
or nothing at all at my school where i play bassoon... though i cant imagine running around a field with it like a saxaphone 😂

[markgomez]

My drum major has a bassoon solo to start off our show this year and it’s really good

[ChocolateSoda]

Love your vids! Makes me wish I didn’t stop playing bassoon after high school

[Vadow]

My senior year show was based on Rite of Spring and we even had an Oboe soloist!

and this is why i waited until concert band to tell my director i can play bassoon

[BandKidBambi]

Me reading the title like
"Wait this exists?"

As an oboist, I can confirm the pain of not being able to match with the instrument. If you march with a double reed instrument it could potentially stab you on the roof of your mouth. Over the course of 3 months, I learned tenor saxophone and marched with that instead and am now pursuing both oboe and saxophone. I am playing saxophone in jazz band and marching band exclusively and oboe in concert band exclusively. I am now first chair saxophone and lead soloist for my band. It shows how dedication can really pay off.

[dangerr]

the only reason why bassoon and oboe don't march (for what I think) imagine having a 5-7 inch vocal being shoved up your throat in an incident

[skylord]

as a guy who's playing Rite of Spring in my college's Orchestra, hit too close to home

[philoneko]

I’m a bassoonist, and this is SO relatable 😂

[willcorff]

Imagine marching the rite of spring, sounds INSANE

[thedankknight]

You’re telling me soloists don’t march? 😢

[calliarcale]

Rite of Spring would make an awesome field show.

[cooldudette]

Our band directors stopped marching any woodwind variations besides the basic 3 cuz they didn't want to risk the instruments getting damaged. We have only one more tenor sax dude playing and then he'll be gone next year

[armyguy]

dude its actually kinda a vibe tho, with the quad part right after
