I thought choosing an oboe was normal

[namehhere]

as a bassoon player, that cigarette paper saves lives

[Spade_Arrows]

For those who don’t understand
They’re things to help fix/make reeds, which is what we use to play

[Jferraro]

my parents caught me with the oboe rolling paper and thought i was smoking 😭

As a clarinetist, I too have to deal with this struggle when I carry a whole spear, a dagger, a wet stanky rag, and a case that looks like it would hold a gun in it 😃😃

[WiIIowisp]

The moment an oboe was mentioned i already knew your soul was hanging on by a thread

[Cultoftherats]

I picked the flute. I didn’t travel with that stuff but I had to violate an instrument daily 💀

[giraffe]

I just wanna instantly learn how to play the oboe for this song called once in a lullaby. The oboe is such a pretty sounding instrument

[shadowdroid]

Previous bass clarinet player, people didn't understand why i looked like death in band as i carried a small child's weight to practice at 6am only to play 3 notes for a songlol

I feel your pain.

[Coaniseo]

literally ive had a teacher call me stupid because we “dont need shot glasses or cig paper” and i couldnt help but laugh

[justems]

My dumbass thought it was to fight off band kids 💀🙏

[sydneyochs]

I love using medicine bottles to soak my bassoon reed 🤗

[Bat.of.the.graveyard]

Its been 6 years and i still remember the finger placements. I loved sounding like a snake charmer..

[Artichokehead]

My school doesn’t even have an oboe as an option, I’m so jealous

[coasterfurby]

My mom told me that I could play oboe if I didn’t play violin. I listened to her, and now I am in my school’s colorguard and I play oboe in concert band.

[epicdude]

The only instrument my school has is a fucking desk 💀



now I moved school and I play percussion

[lucaswillaford]

I love the oboe it’s so underrated and it sounds so beautiful

[lioness_impressionest]

We have no OBOES, no BASSOONS, and we only have TWO alto saxophones.... our band is messed up, it's mostly filled with trumpets and trombones

[Swimmmy_]

As an oboe players player. This is true

[so_much_for_jj]

Hahaha I never thought oboe was normal. I vetoed clarinet, vetoed about every other instrument too. Mom just went “hey, this instrument is weird like you, you should try it!” Tried it, been in love with it ever since! (6 years, am a sophomore, started in 5th grade)

[RestNhim]

The one oboe player from my band days grew up to be a music therapist😊
Oboe and bassoon was a wonderful addition to the collective sound🎉
