#and IM a bassoon guy

[gio-cosmo]

The bassoon is my one true love. Why does nobody ever talk abt the bassoon. I love the bassoon 💔💔💔

[prophecyofgray]

watchjgn over the garden wall for the first time ever (I Know.) and was anyone gonna tell me that wirt is literally me

[starstruck149]

I dropped my bassoon so hard onto my toe that I ended up going to the ER to make sure it wasn't broken (it's not as far as they can tell) just let this be proof not to trust me with anything in which I could damage myself.

[wembleygoodboy]

Wembley, may I ask where you got your name? Were you named after the puppet?

itis actuolly kindof a Lomg Storey, so iwill let dadmom tellit! 😊👍 (it also doubols as My Orogin Storey!)

[story time! this is gonna be a long one, so strap in, ahaha

so, i went to college for music (education and performance; flute performance, specifically. i can wipe my ass w that degree now tho lol), so i was in a couple different ensembles at any given time. in 2013, we were playing a multi-movement piece called "3 Ayres from Gloucester" by Hugh Stuart. the 3rd movement is called "The Fiefs of Wembley." you can listen to a performance of it here. wembley is apparently a location within london. think "wembley stadium!"

i always joked with my fellow flutist friend (we'll call her M) who i shared a stand with that Wembley sounded like the name of a mischievous cat. "wembley get off the counter!!!" "UGH NO why always on the carpet, wembley?!" etc. it helped that the tune itself totally sounds like the theme song of a somewhat skittish yet naughty little cat, parading around causing chaos until he's spotted, then darting away.

on october 3rd, 2013, i came into rehearsal and find M looking pretty distraught. i ask whats up, and shes like "i think i saw a kitten in the middle of the club lawn, it was just laying there, maybe its hurt, idk what to do!" im like okay lets check it out together, and our conductor (huge sweetheart) gives us the okay to go investigate.

sure enough, theres a tiny black blob just laying there in the middle of the lawn; not hidden away in the bushes where a mama cat wouldve left him. as we approached, the blob got up and awkwardly darted away towards the lil decorative pine shrubs dividing the lawn from a small parking lot. we followed it, and there he was: a small black kitten, crouched in terror, hiding in the shelter of the shrubbery.

i dont remember when exactly it happened, but it suddenly dawned on me. i turned to my friend. "M... its WEMBLEY..."

we tried to coax him out to no avail- not even food would persuade him, and he looked very thin- and he was a bit too close to the road for our comfort, so i asked my roommate to keep an eye on the lil guy while M and i went back to rehearsal. after it ended, we recruited a small gaggle of band geeks to capture the kitten. it was the bassoon player who finally caught him, plucking him out of a miniature shrub he'd tried to climb.

i swaddled wembley up in a black bandana i kept in my back pocket (for the Fashion™️), hopped into my roommate's car with my stuff, and headed back with my roommate to our little on-campus apartment. as i stood in the living room, waiting for him to bring our stuff from the car, wembley began to purr in my arms :,)

(to be fair, cats may purr to self-soothe when theyre stressed; its not exclusively an indicator of pleasure. but. Still, lol.)

turns out lil wembley was only a month old: just old enough for solid food, thankfully, but much younger than the age at which kittens are generally separated from their mothers for adoption, which generally occurs after 3 months. he also had a sprained leg, which made walking very difficult and painful for him. the leg was likely the reason he was abandoned by his feral mother, as if he couldnt keep up, she couldnt afford to stop for him when she likely had a whole litter to care for. understandable, but her loss was my (and wembley's!) gain. 💚

i had to tame him, as he was feral, and EXTREMELY fearful of humans, but i spent hours that night sitting on the opposite side of the bathroom, slowly earning his trust until, little by little, i was able to scoot close enough to him to pet him. he'd obviously never been petted before; the look on his little face was pure magic. he completely opened up to me after that moment.

i totally had myself fooled, thinking id find a home for him once his leg was all healed up (my vet major pal showed me how to make him a splint), but... then he started sleeping with me and... well..... yeah. nope. he was my son, and i was his dadmom.

and i always will be. 💚

BONUS PICTURES:

the first picture i ever took of Wembley (thats the bottom of a red solo cup i sewed fabric around so he could drink water from it without risking him getting cut on the plastic):

baby's first petting 💚:

he relaxed a lot after discovering the joy of Petting :)

settling down for his first night with us, too sleepy for this world 💚:

days later, with his lil foot in a splint, sitting in his temporary makeshift litterbox. the Poopie Prince!

...TL;DR, its the name of a part of london, and i chose it because of an instrumental piece of music. coulda just said that, i suppose, but I'll ALWAYS jump at the chance to tell wembley's Origin Story and share baby pics, ahaha 💚

[warningsootgnfer1972]

About me! :>

hi hi!! I’m Maria :D I’m new to this whole tumblr thing so bare with me please ☹️

here are some facts about me so you can get to know me a little better!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

🎸 - im super in love with Green Day, they are my hyperfixation right now.. I saw them back in July and will be seeing them on the Saviors Tour!! 🩷🖤SAVIORS OUT JANUARY 19TH🖤🩷

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

🐴 - I ride horses and this year, 2024, will be 8 years that I’ve been going to the farm!! i have three horses!

Cat (the oldest, he turns 28 this year!)

Skippy (Cats short and hot tempered boyfriend)

Daytona (the youngest, he pushes the old men around a lot ☹️)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

👾 - I play games like;

Forza Horizon 4

Minecraft

Fortnite (only for the guitar hero mode thing)

if you have any recommendations for games, please send them my way!! (I have an Xbox one s from 2018 please be kind to me) (I also have a Wii U and Wii)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

🖤 - I’m super into the punk scene.. I’m working on my ‘battle jacket’ now! I love punk bands so much, they hold a special place in my heart.

ex: U.K. Subs, Sex Pistols, The Clash, etc!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

❤️ - I have a boyfriend, we’ve been together since December 21st, 2023. He’s literally the light of my life. (Apart from Cat and the horses, they come first) He gives me his hoodies, I give him my perfume..

He won’t ever admit it but he’s a HUGE softie for me. And my friend Parker, it was so cute to see that when Parker left he said “bye, love you guys!” And my boyfriend said “love you too..” (of course in a friendship way) AND IT LITERALLY MELTED MY HEART. He always asks if Parker is okay (he has a bit of a troubling home) and would probably kill someone for not only Parker, but me too. If he finds out I told you guys this, I’m dead meat. I love him so much, and everyday he always reminds me of just how much of an amazing person he is. He doesn’t think very highly of himself, which is crazy, but he’s an amazing person and I just need to shove that statement into that stupidly thick skull of his.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

🎸🎼🎶🎵🎧 - I play a fairly wide variety of instruments!

I’ve been playing clarinet for 6 years now, it’s my favorite (perfectly designed to fail) instrument. I play guitar, and have been for over a year now. I’m in marching band!! Here’s where the range kicks in..

I’ve played things like the bassoon to the harmonica, clarinet to guitar, recorder to piano… I’ll put a list of all the instruments (from what I can remember) that I’ve tried/played!

clarinet

bass clarinet

guitar

bass

saxophone

oboe

bassoon

harmonica

recorder

flute

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

👁️👁️ - that’s all the facts I have about me so far.. not sure how much or when I’ll use this but I’ll come back every once in a while to update and tell you guys I’m not dead!

❤️❤️❤️ EAT FOOD DRINK WATER BE AWESOME KILL ALL WHO STAND IN YOUR WAY

[meiming-thinks]

things to do and tips at a symphony concert 🤍

sitting thru symphony concerts can be challenging at first bc theyre long, the music can be harder to easily understand than pop, and the etiquette can feel sort of arbitrary. so here are some tips for your first symphony concert

1. the audience expects you to be *silent* at these things. no coughing. no candy wrappers. no humming. why? well it kind of takes away from the experience of the live music for some people. do i agree? not really, i think you should be able to express your enjoyment a bit more, but nevertheless, you will get dirty looks if youre humming and banging your head, and tapping your feet.

2. there are pieces and then there are movements within the pieces. you only clap after pieces, not movements! at the end of a movement, there will be a little bit of silence. but, the conductor will not turn around, and the musicians will not set down their instruments. when the entire piece is finished, the conductor will turn around, the musicians will set down their instruments, the conductor will bow, and gesture to the musicians who did some really incredible stuff to stand for recognition.

and now, onto some fun things to watch!

1. keep track of themes and motifs! themes and motifs are these little bits of melody and such that get repeated and chances throughout the piece or movement. sometimes they go away and come back later, and they often mean something big, especially in pieces that tell a story, like ballets and suites. keeping track of these little bits and seeing how they interact with each other, and how they change, is fun and helps you really understand the story that the music is telling.

2. look for unique instruments! your basic symphony orchestra will have violins, violas, cellos, basses, french horns, trumpets, some type of low brass (tuba, euphonium, trombone), flute, oboe, clarinet, usually a bassoon, timpani, piano, cymbals, and other percussion that im not v familiar with. but sometimes, especially in american classical music and 20th century stuff, the music will contain other, less commonly seen instruments. you might find harp, saxophone, piccolo, funky percussion like tubular bells, and more! paying attention to these ones and picking out when they play can be fun.

3. watch the percussionists and brass. percussionists and brass sometimes do not have much to do for a while, and sometimes, they get up to some goofy antics while waiting during their 128 measure rest.

4. watch which sections flip pages the most and least. musicians in the same section will generally all flip their pages around the same time -note: an instrument can have multiple sections within it that have different music. the sections that flip pages most are playing the most often, and those that flip pages least get to play less. violins and cellos especially will be constantly flipping, because they are constantly playing. the poor tuba guy might have two pages of music total.

5. watch the conductor! the conductor does more than keep track of the beat. figuring out what each of their gestures is signaling to the orchestra is a fun puzzle, especially if youve personally never played in a band or orchestra yourself. the conductor will gesture for things like tempo (speed), dynamics (loudness), a section coming in, articulation (“smooth” or “choppy” sound), attack, how to stop a phrase (suddenly or slowly), and more. their gestures will include their baton (the little stick), hand shapes, arm and hand movements, posture, and facial expressions. in a way, its almost like a signed language, meant to communicate how to deliver the music.

overall, be proud of yourself for getting into something new! the classical music community is ~generally~ pretty chill, and going to concerts will become exponentially less intimidating the more you do it.

galaxies, waxing, and soothe for the ask thing?

thanks binch

galaxies: what are three things you want to do before you die? uuuuhhh going into space would be super cool; last time i was in ecuador we were supposed to go on a hike up one of the volcanoes around Quito but i got really bad random altitude sickness so we couldnt......i want to do that at some point and throw myself in; i want to hold a human brain

waxing: what is your proudest accomplishment? hmmm. idk music was super important to me throughout school leading up to coming to college and my senior year i tried for All State on bassoon and i was less than a point away from getting in. still butthurt but overall very proud considering bassoons are....the way they are lol

soothe: what's one thing that always makes you feel better when you're upset? cuddling/petting my cat Boo. its been really hard this past semester w how bad my mental/emotional states have been and not having him around

[bloom-bloom-pow]

enhypen as people from my hs

jay

omg one of mikey's good friends was named elliot and elliot was one of the absolute nicest people i have ever met like he drinks his respect women juice 🤠and he accidentally told his baseball team we were dating so we had to fake date for a while and break it off (nothing romantic actually happened) and one time i was walking with him and his friends to the market but his baseball members asked if he wanted a ride 😳 he was going to get in but then he realized i wouldn't be able to ride and so he sacrificed a car ride for a friend 😭 also we got pizza every week.. idk yall but jake screams this type of energy

sunghoon

i was friends with this guy named steven and we were neighbors and i was so in awe with him because he was literally good at everything !! dance captain, cross country star, one of the smartest in our grade, amazing painter, bassoon section leader, funny, like what 😭 he dated my ex best friend all throughout middle and high school (they're married now..) but literally i was surprised every time he could do something else perfectly 😩 i didn't know sunghoon was an ice skater for a pretty long time and when i found out i was like 😥 what can't this boy do.. literally so talented and v v heartthrob 

sunoo

this babyboy reminds me of one of my closest friends now that i met in my freshman math class named kelly 🤩 kelly unni if you're reading this ily but like fr this girl would smile all the time and offer me snacks while learning stupid stuff like parabolas and blah 🙄 for any special holiday/bday she would always give out ramen noodle packs and can i mention she dances so well ?? we spent most of our time talking about seventeen who had just debuted i think (omfg) and this one boy named john who she really liked 💀 very cute and foodie vibes, we still rant to each other all the time 😣

jungwon

omfg this is literally my friend sam 😭 so so competitive and  took like almost 12 aps during hs and i highkey miss him 😭 so over competitive to an amount i had to become his therapist every spring 💀 had an INSANE obsession with twice and joshua hong and was friends with furries his freshman year.. highkey bad at texting still to this day and the only reason why i passed chemistry and was my prom date bc i got dumped a week before people could buy prom tickets 🥺 he was a really good friend.. the work ethic screams yang jungwon 😍 also a surprisingly good dancer despite being tall,, 

ni-ki

honestly gives me vibes of the girl who always asked for math homework 5 mins before it was due (i forgot her name 😭) but she was really funny and loud and apparently she got a lot of likes on musically (DO U GUYS REMEMBER?? I WAS IN HS😣) so nobody could really say no to her also she was on cheer and very hot so how could i say no ?? 😢 i let her copy off me for popularity 💀 but yea after using my for a good grade she gave me a hug and a giftcard and i was literally like WHQJSHWHWB????? idk just her chill vibe gives me ni-ki vibes 🤩

[networkconnectivityissues]

My Thoughts on Season 2 Episode 1: Back in Session

*DOAFP Season 2 SPOILERS*

Real-Time Reactions:

Starting off strong with the season 1 recap

Elena lowkey looks really good with the sparkly suit

Okay back to real life

“Do you ever get his pesky voice in your head making you second guess everything” yes that’s called anxiety

Gabi coming in with good advice as always

Jessica’s a hat person now???

AHHHH the mirror scene with bobby (the parallel to season 1)

Bobby got his permit already??? How he just started high school????

I hope Elena wins student rep, knowing her she probably has been practicing all summer

Awww domestic Gabi and Sam <3

Ohh Gabi and Sam went on that vacation

Sam in the first day of school picture (also the photo is hilarious)

THE THEME SONG (oooo it has some updated pictures)

Aww Jessica chickened out on the hat (also Elena’s outfit is really cute!!!)

NEW CHARACTER: Tripp Swansby (Descendant of Swansby)

This kid has been on screen for a few seconds and I already hate him (no hate to the actor, just the character)

I guess the school is still working on changing the mascot (can’t believe they built a statue)

AHHH CAMI IS BACK

Cami asking Sam and Gabi about the vacation is so cute to see

“Gabi sweetheart” (my heart!!!!)

Cami getting straight to the point

AHHH Bobby waiting for Liam

Ooo the tennis ball toss

Bobby face when Liam told him that he and Jadawere talking (my poor bby)

Oooo but Lima asked to be doubles partners (still have hope for cartero)

Sam and Gabi are moving in together!!!! (I hope this means we get more sam father figure moments)

DANNY AND ZIGGY (my favorite tennis boys are back!!!!)

Oooo Bobby is jealous

I didn’t think Danny was an astrology guy, but I kind of like it

Davis is back (are they going to become friends now that they are in the same school)

Wait they canceled tryouts (can they do that, like I played high school tennis before and usually they have everyone try out at the same time)

Ngl but Sasha and Claude are kinda cute together

NEW CHARACTER: Emilio (oooo a new kid)

MELISSA REDEMTION ARC (im happy that she’s trying to be nice and apologizing to Sasha and Elena)

Gabi and Cami question Sam is really cute (also Cami has beef with a teacher???)

So wait are they not gonna play tennis this year (its gonna be kinda weird cause i’m so used them playing tennis)

Ziggy and his bassoon are making a comeback!! (also bandkid ziggy is not something i knew I needed until now)

Aww their splitting up into different clubs :(

Nooo Liam ditching Bobby to see Jada

Ooooo Bobby’s looking at the gsa (or i guess its the gsc)

Sam giving Elena advice is such a nice moment (it’s a nice parallel to season 1 where Gabi gives Elena advice)

Emilio is signing up for student council (does that mean we get to see Elena and him go head to head)

Elena’s still doing morning announcements (and she’s using it for student rep)

Bobby is tossing the Jupiter Series Tennis ball!!!!

Oh god Elena’s morning announcements speech turned into a disaster

Nooo Elena don’t cross out your name (noo her plans are failing apart)

Elena and Bobby sibling moment (they really are the captains of resting your head on your siblings shoulders)

Cañero-Reed family dinner (also Sam’s puns are back :D)

Sam finally becoming a part of the family!!!!!

Final Thoughts:

I didn’t expect Elena to have second thoughts about running for student rep. I assume in later episodes that she will probably enter back in and Sasha, Jessica, and Melissa will help her.

Bobby not playing tennis this year is a surprise, maybe he might start his own team. Also, Bobby was looking at the GSA, so maybe he might join it later and we might meet the new kid.

I’m excited that Sam is moving in. I can’t wait for there to be more bonding moments with Elena and Bobby. I wonder if this might cause any conflict with there being another parental figure in that house.

BNHA CONCERT BAND AU BC IM A NERD

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR REQUESTS OR HEADCANONS AKSJHD PLS ASK ME I LOVE BAND I LOVE MUSIC AND I LOVE THIS-

Izuku Midoriya:

Boy definitely plays a wind instrument. I’m assigning him clarinet

Wants to be first chair so bad, he practices so freaking much I swear

ALWAYS. IN. A. BAND. ROOM. with Iida and Uraraka. They’re always practicing

He’s so confused with music theory, please help him. He just,, WHY is it minor?? WHY IS THERE A SOLO WITH NOTHING WRITTEN?? WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE HAS TO IMPROVISE WITH THE CHORDS WRITTEN OVER THE BARS-

Ochako Uraraka:

ALTO SAXOPHONE-

She’s also comfortable enough to play 2nd or 3rd clarinet if needed, or even soprano saxophone

Doesn’t have her own instrument, she borrows from the school and she HATES the reeds, they’re crap. When someone gives her a good reed, she CHERISHES it.

In jazz band also! With the same instrument, but she doesn’t feel ready for solos so she’s usually 2nd or 3rd. Bro when she has to switch from swing to straight she ALWAYS forgets and it’s the band’s downfall.

Tenya Iida:

TRUMPET TRUMPET TRUMPET TRU-

And he’s one of THOSE trumpet players, by the way.

“Sir the French horns aren’t tuned” yeah, he has perfect pitch

Literally plays flight of the bumblebee as warm up. Or has his own warm up scales. Never practices right before practice though, he thinks it’s “too late” for that

Has his own trumpet, it’s silver with hints of gold/brass. Takes care of it RELIGIOUSLY.

He HATES having to blow out spit onto the floor, but dude what other choice do you have??

Momo Yaoyorozu:

Sweet angel 🥺🥺 she’s an oboe player

Definitely bought her own instrument

Sight reading MASTER. she instantly gets the key bro, it’s so rare that she forgets an incidental

Definitely leads sectionals all the time. And she does it WELL.

When people (*COUGH* BASSES*cough*) slowdown, she’ll sway to the beat in hopes that they’ll follow her

Kyoka Jirou:

Electric bass or contrabass, give her either and she’s good to go dude.

Also has perfect pitch and knows her music theory WAY more than a high school student should know. She’s a genius.

Her warm ups? Jam sessions with Hanta and Todoroki. She just shouts a key and they go. It’s usually jazz, she plays a pretty constant pattern, Todoroki tries to improvise but hanta takes over pretty quick-

Definitely in jazz band as well. Also in a school competition band (like singer and stuff), also a one-woman-band. She’s in so many bands dude.

Shouto Todoroki:

TENOR SAXOPHONE

Also has a background in flute bc his parents wanted him to have ~versatility~

Knows all the theory in his head, like he knows what’s going on, he just doesn’t know how to explain it

*false note* “sorry my instrument isn’t warmed up, it’s probably my reed”

Has plastic reeds. And reeds ESPECIALLY for jazz.

Oh yeah he’s in jazz band! Loves that he’s like, the only tenor saxophone so he gets all the solos

Rikidou Satou:

TUBA PLAYER IN DA HOUUUSSEEE

Buddy actually brings the tuba home to practice, he drags that thing AROUND.

Always. Slows. Down. But no one knows it’s his fault most of the time, they blame Sero-

Firmly believes in the “basses are the foundation of the orchestra” mindset, he��s so proud to be a bass

Kouji Kouda:

Soprano Saxophone, but can also handle clarinet if the need comes (he just loves the sound of soprano sax you guys)

DEFINITELY in jazz band, but as a Tenor Sax 2 bc he knows if he went as a soprano sax he probably would’ve gotten solos

Is it Momo’s oboe?? Is it Kouda’s soprano sax?? No one knows the different except those two and Jirou

Plays Shostakovich’s jazz suite no. 2 as a warm up

DEFINITELY A SWAYER. He just gets into the mood of the music and SWAYS.

Tooru Hagakure:

Flautist!! She chose it as an 11 y/o bc it was a girly instrument but she really likes it lol

A mediocre player, she spends most of warm up with Mina tho, she thinks that she’ll get to warm up when she’s playing bc I mean— no one hears the flutes

Wanted to main the picolo for the sole purpose that it’s an Ear Destroyer. Aizawa heard the mischief in her voice and said no.

Sight reading?? What’s that?? She has no idea what’s going on, she just pretends to play and when she’s comfortable with the melody, she’ll just step in. NEVER notices key changes and signatures.

Yuuga Aoyama:

LASKHDSJ FLAUTIST!! Also clarinetist. He loves being able to stay where he is during practice even though he changes instruments it’s sort of funny

His cheeks get SO SORE when he plays clarinet though and he WILL complain.

“My flute is so heavy!” Kind of guy.

Definitely has his own instruments and takes GREAT care of them.

Wetting his reed with his saliva?? No, he plops it in a glass of water instead (the reeds are definitely his own, and expensive)

Tsuyu Asui:

Trombone gang bro.

Positions are burnt into her brain dude she’ll never go out of tune.

SO SMOOTH. SOOOO SMOOO- dude she plays so well?? It’s never spitty, but during jazz (yes she’s in jazz), if it’s a moody piece she KNOWS how to make it juuussssttt airy enough to be beautiful

Not that good with fast songs, but she makes up for her amazing ass vibrato and her range. GOD-LIKE RANGE.

Mashirao Ojirou:

FRENCH HORN!!!

Omg he plays like a king. And he’s so proud of being the ONLY one playing French horn, but there is PRESSURE, because a French horn is rlly tricky to tune dude. Have you SEEN it??

Always keeps his mouthpiece with him, as if he’s afraid someone will play his instrument?? Like no dude it’s good in it’s case but you do you I guess

He doesn’t stand out that much, but in the majestic pieces where he has a 5 measure solo?? He gives it his all and he pulls it OFF. Those moments are always the highlight of the piece

Mezou Shouji:

Bass clarinet!!

Once he managed to growl through bass clarinet and literally ALL the saxophone players were jealous AS FUCK

Buddy goes to a low E♭ like it’s nothing?? And then he goes up to like a high high C and you’re sitting there like THE FUCKING RANGE-

His warmups are like, quick scales and arpeggios. Bro he’s so steady when he plays and he could play for HOURS. Sore cheeks?? Don’t know her.

He so proud of being a bass clarinetist, but when he saw an octobass clarinet?? Aizawa better order one of those for him RIGHT. NOW.

Fumikage Tokoyami:

Baritone saxophone. Also lowkey really wants to learn bassoon because it’s such an old instrument

SKSKS he and Shouji sit next to each other, Tokoyami loves to read off of Shouji’s partition and create the WORST fourths you’ll ever hear. Even Midoriya told them to shut the fuck up once

In jazz band too!! Still plays bari sax

Such,, a good,, sound. So,, meaty,, and full,, and HOT. Bari sax is HOT!!

Plays moanin’s intro as a warm up. Search up the song. It’s bomb.

He loves to figure out new sounds with his bari sax. The Too Many Zooz type of sounds

Hitoshi Shinsou:

PERCUSSIONIST. Especially loves the bells, timpani, vibraphone and marimba.

He’s in the back judging EVERYONE. It’s so great for him, he gets to stand there and cringe and no one will know

Totally able to play 4 mallets like the king he is

Surprisingly enough, he’s rlly good in music theory. Like he could probably compose or transpose something no problem

Aizawa’s favourite, of course. Will ask him to sit in front while they play and circle the parts where he thinks something sounds off

Now that we’ve talked about the NORMAL band kids, I present to you,,, the gremlin band kids

Mina Ashido:

Percussionist as well!! She loves snares but you’ll see her pick up castagnettes even if y’all are playing something like Gymnopédie no. 3 she’s a bit confused but she got the spirit.

CANNOT READ SHEET MUSIC. Like notes?? No. She can do beats, just not notes. Let Shinsou figure out the ancient languages dude

Her and Hagakure don’t warm up, they just gossip together.

Did this to Bakugou more than once

SHE DROPPED SO MUCH EQUIPMENT LIKE HOW DID SHE NOT BREAK ANYTHING YET??

Denki Kaminari:

TRUMPET.

Buddy AIMS to have his spit land on someone sitting in front of him (rip Todoroki and Uraraka)

Thinks he’s cool because he plays trumpet, but he always loses count. God forbid Iida cant show up to practice because Kaminari will die

“Where are we? What are we doing? Which piece are we doing? Where are we starting?” Oh my god he’s so lost can SOMEONE please help him

Always gets in trouble during band camps dude. He and Sero are the Bad Brass duo

Eijirou Kirishima:

EUPHONIUM BABEY!! He thinks it’s so cool and he’ll get so insulted if someone calls it a “mini tuba”

DONT GIVE HIM SHEET MUSIC IN BASS CLEF HE HATES IT PLS JUST TREBLE CLEF

So!! Protective of his euphonium. His name is Johnny, by the way. He named his instrument.

When they finish practicing a piece, he’s the first to give feedback. Usually it’s good, like praises for classmates he heard and thought were really good!!

He’s so sweet. Willing to help others during practice and sectionals too!! It’s so sad that he’s literally on the other side of the room bc KAMINARI NEEDS HIS HELP-

Katsuki Bakugou:

Hehehe he’s a flautist. I’ve stood by this headcanon for like two years.

And he wants to be THE BEST. You never knew growling could be done through a flute until you met Bakugou.

CANNOT STAND slow pieces. He wants to go all out all the time, he always speeds up when the tempo’s slow.

Also in jazz band with what? Flute. Yeah, this is George Benson Time.

Will hit you with his flute if you ever think badly of him for playing flute. He’ll defend flute ‘till he dies.

Hanta Sero:

TROMBONIST!!! TROMBONE BABEY.

Will be so happy if he’s in charge of bass trombone?? Like yay??

Always wants to hit Bakugou’s head while playing.

Bro his playing style?? You know the like, lazy-ish trombone playing? But it’s just so full and smooth and heavy anyways? That type of shit.

In jazz band, he’s actually a natural at jazz, doesn’t practice that much so he’s like not even in a good position, buddy just slouches and sight reads.

I love Hanta sm guys I could talk abt trombonist!Hanta forever

[finitevoid]
