You've heard of the man, the myth, the legend. Now get ready for the woman, the omen, the portent.
this is so funny
honestly nothing for me will top the energy of BTS photos/videos of horror movie monsters/demons/creatures/etc in full makeup just hanging out⦠like
energyβ¦.
Iβve got some favorites from Panβs Labyrinth to add
And some misc ones
Fun Story: My director kept telling me and my tenor sax buddy to play softer. No matter what we did, it wasnβt soft enough for him. So getting frustrated, I told my buddy βDont play this time. Just fake itβΒ
Our Band Director then informed us we sounded perfect.Β
To my readers: βpβ means quiet, βppβ means really quiet. Iβve never seen βppppβ before haha.
On the contrast, βfβ means loud, and βffffβ probably means so loud you go unconscious.
I had ffff in a piece once and my conductor told me to play as loudly as physically possible without falling off my chairβ¦
Me and my trombone buddies had βffffβ and he sat next to me and played so hard that he fell out of his chair.
The lengths we go for music.
Okay yeah so I play the bass clarinet and the amount of air you have to move and the stiffness of the reed means it only has two settings and that is loud and louder, with an optional LOUDEST that includes a 50% probability of HORRIBLE CROAKING NOISE which is the bass equivalent of the ubiquitous clarinet shriek.
One day, when I was in concert band in high school, we got a new piece handed out for the first time, and there was a strange little commotion back in the tuba section β whispering, and pointing at something in the music, and swatting at each otherβs hands all shhh donβt call attention to it. And although they did attract the attention of basically everyone else in the band, they managed to avoid being noticed by the band director, who gave us a few minutes to look over our parts and then said, βAll right, letβs run through it up to section A.β
And here we are, cheerfully playing along, sounding reasonably competent β but everyone, when they have the attention to spare, is keeping an eye on the tuba players. They donβt come in for the first eight measures or so, and then when theyΒ do come in, what we see is:
[stifled giggling]
[reeeeeeally deep breath]
[COLOSSAL FOGHORN NOISE]
The entire band stops dead, in the cacophonous kind of way that a band stops when it hasnβt actually been cued to stop. The band director doesnβt even say anything, just looks straight back at the tubas and makes a helpless sort of why gesture.
In unison, the tuba players defend themselves: βTHERE WERE FOUR FβS.β
FFFF is not really a rational dynamic marking for any instrument, but for the love of all that is holy why would you put it in a tuba part.
This is the best band postΒ
Everyone else go home
Oh man, so I play trombone, and we got this piece called Florentiner Marsch by Julius Fucik, and we saw this
which is 8 fortes. We were shocked until,
that is 24 fortes who the fuck does that
Who does that?
This guy. Take a good look - that is the moustache of a man with nothing to lose.

Pyrozodβs tags for this were too hilarious not to share
I havenβt been in band for years but this made me laugh so hard
I havenβt seen this post in ages and Iβm dying of laughter
I didnβt think it could get better after The Foghorn Tuba Story, but it did. It got better. Bless you, MusicTumblr.
as far as I can translate it, the German notes at the octuple forte mean something roughly likeΒ βYou want the instrument to coughβ¦ this is not for wimpsβ
this man was a menace
Yeah I need to join another brass band
Getting Tuba feels.

Poor girl broke her favorite sitting basket.
Iβm sorry but this is the funniest thing I have ever seen ever in my fucking life her PEETS are STICKING OUT
I was talking to the guy with the rifle on the island in disco elysium and he was talking about the past and getting deep into it and suddenly there's a whole screen effect and I was thinking about how it was really cool but no it just happened that my entire screen just decided to die right there and then
"Damn, the devs were really are on some avant garde stuff there" (sits there for 10 whole seconds)
Logic [Easy: Failure] - The effect on your screen is merely part of the game.
Sorry to anyone this happened to (I would be fuming) but I am howling at EA incompetently creating cursed jewellery by mistake.
I really need everyone to know that EA has quite quickly patched this issue, which is great. But.
They can't restore the appearance of your sims and need you to roll back to an earlier save.
These warped bratz girlies are PERMANENT
If you fell victim to this that's IT... there's no coming back
I can't get over this. Jewelery-obsessed sims turning into unfixable wizened wrecks. The Sims Four accidentally implimented GOLLUM SPEEDRUN SIMULATOR
I donβt know what species this amphibian is.
I donβt even know if heβs a frog or a toad.
What I do know is that he can see into the heart of the universe, and that he will never be able to unlearn what he has found there.
@markscherz who is this shocked man??
This is a spadefoot, specifically I think this is probably Spea bombifrons, though a confident ID would probably require examination of the feet and a different view of the head.
Spadefoots (Spadefeet!) are often referred to as toads, but they are not bufonids, and therefore are not true toads. Instead American spadefoots belong to the family Scaphiopodidaeβa relatively ancient lineage that was probably doing the 'toad' thing almost 100 million years before true toads evolved.
It's not a frog or a toad but a secret third thing???
