Just Dont Sound Like A Duck, I Beg You

Just don’t sound like a duck, I beg you

Ok I want to add to this (again? Idk.)

- Hyria (Hi-Ree-a) Chandler

- Second Row Last Flute

-Junior (or whatever the equivalent of grade 11 is)

-Actually plays the oboe part due to a shortage of oboes

-"Flutes, can you play section __ to __?"

-"Oboes as well?!"

-*is not heard, lowers instrument*

-"Not like my part was the same anyways..."

-Strange obsession with oboes

-Oboist in training (picked up the instrument at the start of the school year)

-Thinks the flute section leader is a major asshat.

-Secretly a spy for the Theatre kids, but got too involved in the band, and now she's trapped. The theatre kids praise her, and she feeds the theatre kids information to set up "pranks"

-"Hyria! When's the next show?"

-"Three weeks from today, what's the plan?"

-"Frozen crabs in the mellophone cases, and fish bones stuffed up the trumpets' bells!"

-"You're crazy... I love it."

A tv show in the style of The Office and Parks and Rec, but it follows a small town high school marching band

A friend and I came up with a vague concept of it at lunch, but hear me out

-the band director is this disgruntled middle aged dude who just wants to win one season -he pretty much hates his job and is planning to quit, but he’s determined to outlast the drama teacher -his worst rival is the drama teacher. It’s so bad that the band kids and the theater kids won’t even look at each other

-the siblings, Jack and Lyse -Jack is a junior (saxophone player) -he low key secretly wants to play the Clarinet -he’s the saxophone section leader and Can’t Fucking Handle It™ -and he’s so mad because he worked so hard for it, but the people in his section just suck -he would totally try to act like everything is fine, though -“being section leader … It’s great. I love what I do.” *later* “I swear to God if one more freshmen runs into me while marching I’ll put old reeds in their marching shoes.” -Lyse is a sophomore -she was supposed to be a saxophone player like her brother, but she got voluntold to play mellophone because there weren’t enough of them -she doesn’t really care, though, because she just wants to make it through without being noticed -but halfway through the marching season we discover that she actually really wants to be a theater kid -because she’s just trying to survive high school, she kind of gets run over a lot, but she’s secretly really salty and will stand up for herself if you push her enough -“I was best friends with Evan (president of the drama club) until freshmen year when I found out that he was the snake putting hot sauce in my mouth piece. And what better way to get back at snakes then by putting snakes in their back pack? … Jack says that sometimes I over react, and I’m starting to think that maybe he’s right.”

-the percussionists are pretty much elusive emo kids in a weird “inner circle” type thing with favoritism amongst drum majors -except for one named Brent -he’s real name is not Brent, but at this point everybody is to afraid to ask what it actually is or why he’s called Brent -the first time we meet him he blows vape juice in a freshmans face -the freshmen kind of worship him, and can often be seen fanning him and doing his bidding for no reason -he carpools with people and tells who ever is in the back seat that they’re “sitting in his children” -hardly ever even shows up -“I’m a senior, so I just kind of come and go. I’m only staying for them” *looks out at the freshmen all standing to the side staring at him*

-the freshmen do not speak -they can be seen running around doing weird things, but they never talk -one of the running jokes is that one of them will get a talking head, but when they open their mouth to speak they get cut off by an upperclassmen

-the other running joke is that every time someone in color guard hits someone or an instrument, Bret just throws his snare drum (or nearest instrument) at them -several freshmen have been thrown -every time it happens the band director stares into the camera and makes a tally mark on his clipboard -the clipboard is pretty much just tally marks and a note with a reminder to die

Feel free to add stuff! Make your own characters!

(It’ll be called Band Kids, by the way)

I only got this oboe a few months ago, but if anything happened to it, I would kill everybody in the room and the myself.

Tysm!! Yeah, my bd is an oboe player normally, so I've been warned about the difficulty of this infamous instrument, and the pressure it puts on your brain. And yes, I did replace the reed v quickly. But oboe reeds cost $35AUD?? For ONE???
