ok….i just had to respond to fau tuba's comments.  first of all "fau tuba" ….i'm on your side!  in fact…right after the piccolo the tuba is probably my 12th or 13th favorite instrument!  and the only reason i wasn't at the game that day was because jesus christ did you see the weather outside that day?!  forget it!  i didn't even let my dogs out to go to the bathroom because it was so bad out.  they pissed all over my rugs but that's besides the point.  my point is simply this…….if the band doesn't want to play and would rather chill out at hooters or whatever then so be it.  but dammit i'm proud of fau and our football team! i may be the only one who feels this way but i think the fau band should want to play for their school instead of running off when it rains.  oh sure…..the football team played in it but they have helmets is the excuse i always hear….but without the band playing….what does the football team become?  yep…..a sad football team.  i hope they find their hearts and stay the next game.  that's all.

Bravo…you are on fire buddy :D

keep it coming, this is good stuff.

This thread didn't go as I thought it would…  but it is amusing anyway

Did that guy just dig the other dude because of the instrument he plays??? HA! I love it.

So is there a cool instrument in the band? Like the cymbal guys get all the ass in the band and french horns are losers?

rackow,
Please do us the favor of listing in order which band instruments you love the most.  Obviously your beloved piccolo is at number 1 and the tuba comes in at 12-13.  I'm REALLY interested to see how the other instruments fall in your band instrument rating system.  After reading your 3 posts it's now obvious to me why FAU did not win the football game.  I thought it had to do with sloppy play or poor officiating but now its clear that the band is to blame.

well, to REALLY break it down. drummers are usually the coolest and get the most girls. there has been a long lasting tradition where drummers always get with the guard girls…dont know why, thats just how it is…just thought you'd like to know,lol.

and good lord, this is turning into quite a funny thread. there's so many things to say…

This one time....in band camp...

The only way to tune two piccolos is to throw one of them in the ocean.

HYSTERICAL! haha I am cracking up. This is quite amusing. How can anyone not read this stuff and not laugh

ok…..i just finished up some community service obligations and got back in the nick of time to see that some people out there think the band is a joke!  well let me just say this……if playing your heart out on  tuba on an empty baseball field ( field 2 i believe) while other guys are making some small time with the ladies or drinking with their buddies isn't your idea of fun…..then yes…the band is a joke.  if marching endlessly in place to some never ending dave matthews song in the hot sun knowing that the only reward you will get is a packed stadium of bored people and a thumbs up from the band director isn't your idea of fun…..then yes…..the band is a joke.  but i can tell you this…..whenever i see the band playing …usually when i'm flipping past commercials and accidentaly come across some lame band halftime show…..i say to myself every time…."god i wish they would hurry up and get off the field so the third quarter could start"……it's then that i am most proud of the people in the bands who actually stay for the whole game and don't run off when it rains. so is the band a joke you ask?  sure. but  those sweaty kids work their asses off and i stand up to cheer you!……………………..of course you would have to stay the whole game to see this and not be hanging at hooters during the 3rd quarter but that's besides the point.

Wow, you flip-flop more then my pancakes did this morning.
