*Quick poll... how many of us watching this aren’t “beginners” and are just watching because we’ve seen this in our recommendations FOREVER and decided to FINALLY click on it?*

[mooh]

[earthtraverse]

Basoonist: I love the bassoon for it's range
Flautist: I love the flute for it's range
Everyone else: I love my instrument for it's versatility

"Oboe reeds are very delicate, and must be handled with care."
Clarinet player: *YEET*

[CLMarshal]

"And it sounds like this"
Plays beautiful piece that no beginner will be able to play

[_yoursalad]

Despite this being for beginners, it’s fascinating to come back after learning how to play and instrument and realize how good these people are.

[estye]

Anyone else watch this even though they've been in band for years?

[maliktheslick]

I feel like these guys are throwing shade at each other

[thekyle]

The sax guy was the only one just enjoying everyone play their instruments.

[asillycantaloupe]

As somebody who plays the euphonium, this demonstration was an amazing view into the "smaller tuba" instrument.

[leoinatorz]

This video: Trombone, tubas, and euphoniums can play amazing pieces

Trombone, tubas, and euphonium: 64 measures rest

[useralstokes_]

I love how the saxophone dude was enjoying everyone’s demonstrations, he was living his best life honestly.

[sammckinnon]

the bassoon guy: when you play the bassoon reed on its own it sounds weird


the reed: *sound of cat dying*

[reasol]

I’m a cellist but I’ve always wanted to play trombone. It has such a gorgeous and versatile sound, and I’m sure I’ll have one some day

[naomimarie]

the guy with the bassoon looked so seiriours so it made me die of laughter when he played the simpson theme song

[omarmascarenas]

Trombone: everyone else has to push a button of some sort

Percussionist:

[awildfilingcabinet]

“The clarinet is known for it’s warm, rich tone color”
SQUEAK SQUEAK

[CraigMcgorry]

Hi! I am showing this to my 9th grade Beginning Band class. Woo hoo! Two students said they like the trombone. One said, "It's nice." "It was soooo beautiful!" Thank you for your service!

[burgballs]

the bassoon dude looked so serious and then he played the simpsons theme.. i died

[corinstewart]

The basson guy is so serious that when he makes the sound with his reed someone started giggiling.
