trombone section is the equivalent of the class clowns that sit in the back

[fujiwaramisaki]

Always find it hilarious that it only took around 5 people to overpower the entire theatre

[asherhockersmith]

Reminder that the brass section could, at any time, entirely usurp all other instruments in the orchestra

*_I say this is how it should really be played. It fits seamlessly, and always brings a smile._*

Trombone players: *Plays Star Wars*
Conductor: *Hahaha*
Trombone players: *Hahaha*
Conductor: *You guys are fired.*
Trombone players: *Plays sad trombone jingle*

I love how the first violin goes "Yeah I am all that important, look at me"
Brass section:
"But do you have the high ground?"

[toeknee]

I really really wish i was able to produce such a massive sound like that and still have amazing tone

[grazen]

Conductor: It's treason, then. (Grabs lightsaber)

[snwiron]

I wonder how Toscanini or Karajan would react if somebody brave enough to do something like this under their baton.

[JustSomeGuyWhoisLost]

the fact that Prokofiev's dance of the knights and imperial march fits perfectly gives me goosebumps 😳

[reedlarson]

One year in college, to break up the monotony that is Pomp and Circumstance, we played the Imperial March as the graduating students were walking.

[TalesKursped]

0:35 Look how the conductor shows RESPECT

[Jason-hkfx]

I came here from the trombone sneezing man

[jordanbates]

The fact that the conductor bowed and then just kept going is hilarious

[meese]

I’ve seen so many people pull this prank before but it never gets old

[Jchmcom]

LOL the conductor bows to them like, "ok yea that was awesome. not gonna reprimand any of you."

[elliotwoo]

Are we not gonna talk about how the og of this wasnt noticed

Everything about this is precious, how excited the trombone guy on the left is, the conductor giving them a little bow at the end, it's just *wholesome*
