Our trumpet section isnt nearly that close, but damn, I wish it was. But either way. Fight me, I dare you.
Who You Should Fight: Marching Band Edition
piccolo
who wins: them
don’t do it. don’t fight the piccolo player. just don’t.
flute
who wins: them
they were told you were challenging them for first chair. run while you still can.
clarinet
who wins: them
threaten you with their register key. forfeit for the sake of all.
saxophone
who wins: them
you are promptly deemed a “nerd” and stuffed in a band locker by the entire section even though you only wanted to fight one of them.
low reeds
who wins: no one
you yell increasingly bad sexual innuendos at each other across the band room for twenty minutes until you both get tired and go home.
mellophone
who wins: them
punches you in the face repeatedly on the offbeats of a sousa march playing in the background.
trumpet
who wins: you and then them
you win the fight easily while they’re giving their villainous monologue. entire trumpet section later jumps you in a dark hallway for disgracing one of their own.
trombone
who wins: no one
they get distracted halfway through the fight and wander off.
low brass
who wins: them
you mock them by making farting noises with your lips. they punch you in the stomach with their abnormally strong arms. you can’t breath properly for days.
pit percussion
who wins: you
pretend like you can’t tell the vibes, marimba, and xylophone apart. wait until they’re blind with rage, then run them over with the closest wheeled pit equipment.
drumline
who wins: them
show up to the fight with a shank fashioned out of a broken drum stick. proceed to kick ass.
drum major
who wins: them
calls you to attention (you can’t disobey!) and then waits until you faint from exhaustion.
color guard
who wins: them
have you ever watched one of these fuckers on the field? you’re screwed.
band director
who wins: them
just when you think you’ve won, they get up smiling and say “one more time!”
leave the name of your instrument in the tags!

Serious question. What is the best instrument?
Theres a version where I squeezed drumline into their box. We all knew where they went already tho, so...
Discuss.
So we were plotting one of our new shows, and I'm marching normally, but some of the flutes go up to this one other flute next to me in one set and asks why she has to cross 3 and a half yard lines.
3 AND A HALF YARD LINES. IN. 12. COUNTS.
So I did some math and that's about a 3.4 to 5 step if anyone was wondering.
And no matter how much all of the flutes (and mellos, who do the same thing) are struggling. It is hilarious to watch.
ITS LIKE THEYRE PRANCING ACROSS THE FIELD IT GREAT.
Yo we're doing it this year too. Our band slows down within three measures and it does not sound anything like the song. I mean, it sounds nice, but it's not really Dynamite you know???
There are some songs that are not meant to be played by a marching band
Dynamite by Taio Cruz is most definitely one of them
As a trumpet player I feel obligated to make this post because I haven’t seen anyone make one for trumpet yet so...
Apple
A very nice start! He is very shiny. He seems to be missing the first slide saddle and also some spit valves. His bell is rather large a trumpet his size, but overall, a very beautiful boy! 8/10
Where are his slides? A trumpet is not just buttons, mind you. His tubing has disappeared. 2/10
Microsoft
His valves do not go anywhere??? There are still no slides, as well. The black outline gives it a bulkier look and it does not suit him well. -2/10
Samsung
Ok slightly back on track here. His tubing is better than the last two, yet still no slides. His bell is oversized again, but this seems to be becoming a trend. 4/10
And we’ve fallen behind again. At least his bell is normal size. The tubing and slides have fallen victim to the emoji norms. 0/10
aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAA -328050982/10
Wow, he has a ring! It is an oversized ring to match his oversized bell, but a ring nonetheless. His tubing is gone, but his mouthpiece looks relatively normal. 3/10
JoyPixels
He looks like a trumpet! His bell is flat, but he has slides!!!! And tubing!!! 8/10
emojidex
That’s a trumpet! His bell is a bit round, but his tubing and slides are on point! He even has spit valves! 9/10
Messenger
Just when we were getting on track. His bell is obviously dented in some way if you can see the other side of it. He has no tubing, either, but his mouthpiece looks okay. 1/10
LG
I’ve never seen this instrument before, what’s it called? -3589053425092346587/10
HTC
I have been told that standing a trumpet on it’s bell damages it. His tubing is nonexistent, and his mouthpiece looks like a mushroom. 0/10
Mozilla
His tubing is thicc. Where is his mouthpiece? And slides? 2/10
SoftBank
That is a good looking boi! He has no slides, but he looks better than the last few and, frankly, I was excited to see a good-ish one. 4/10
Docomo
Uh, it’s trumpet line art, but okay then. He has no slides tho. 3/10
Well this has taken some time and my files are now cluttered with gross trumpet emojis. Have a nice day, frens!
