#marching band au?

[hatchet0r]

This is just a placeholder, a higher quality version will be made lol

But yeah. Peters a Clarinet player

[clownthemedlizardlambs]

Does that mean they’re just stuck in the wilderness with their instruments?

Cause if so I just know Misty plays a theme tune for everything

What instruments do you think the YJ’s Play?

Me personally:

Lottie is a Guitar girlie

Laura Lee plays piano Cannonly, I could also see her taking up guitar with Lottie teaching her

Shauna and Van I can see on drums

Misty plays the clarinet

Tai I’m gonna say Violin. I don’t know why, but yeah

Jackie prefers singing, but also had piano lessons

Nat Electric Guitar and Drums

And everyone else doesn’t play instruments

Smeraldo's Garden is a wedding venue...

This seems like an excessively romantic venue for a pop up event...

and considering there will be photo ops and experiential zones, I'm imagining an overwhelming number of romantic photo zones.

Oooh!!! What if Jimin & Jungkook get a leave day to visit the venue?

Maybe we will get photos of them together...

And while we're living the dream, I wonder what sort of wedding theirs would be?

Specifically, what couple dance would they do?

I'm running though all the options in my head and imagining the chaos.....

Literally any of these could be an option. I would not be suprised...

(Guys please don't forget where you are and embarrass your parents.. 🙈🤣)

marching band au is back :D

hiii all this is how i’m coping with finals week next week

this is more hbg but the mores and ranked runners are in the works :3

the members who do dci (fein, couri, reign, silverr) get HYPER competitive with each other about it. silverr and reign’s corp outplaced fein and couri’s 3 competitions in a row this past season and they’re never gonna live it down

doog is also in dci and his corp tends to get first to the chagrin of the others. he plays the quad drums but is pretty proficient on most brass instruments or other percussion

it’s well known that if you don’t know where you need to be, you find mime. you don’t find your section leader, you don’t find the drum major, you find mime. he somehow knows every single member’s drill

the drum line is pretty well known for having fun and goofing around, but there isn’t a section in the band that locks in harder when competition is soon. fein is a chill leader but he runs them like a well oiled machine towards the end of season

raddles is a part of the drum line as a cymbal player. cymbals have a lot of flashy moves they can pull off and she usually helps direct their choreography. she plays cowbell in basketball pep band

fyroah is apart of the sideline percussion (group of people who don’t march but play larger immobile instruments on the sidelines such a marimba, gong, timpani). he plays a lot of different instruments here but is primarily on keyboard

nerdi was a clarinet player before becoming drum major. last years show had a killer clarinet trio with switch on E flat clarinet, nerdi on regular B flat, and fulham on bass clarinet

speaking of fulham, there’s a stereotype that band kids don’t actually care about the sporting events they play at, for fulham that is NOT the case. he’s lost his voice cheering on the football team before. he and fein know all the team’s play signals by heart. mime and oliver know the same but for the basketball team

dylan used to do dci but didnt like that they’d only let him play trombone for the odd solo

couri knows at least one person in every other band. be it through dci or other means

this is more regular band than marching, but reign, fein, and silverr compete with a trio performance during solo and ensemble every year

oliver is bass 5 aka the biggest bass drum. he’s responsible for keeping a steady simple beat underneath the band alongside fein. bass 5 is the heart of tempo in any band. he’s also occasionally drum set player for basketball pep band

i’m saying their band works like mine aka rather than having the tenor saxes paired with the altos, they’re actually in a section with the baritones since they have similar parts (aka mime and silver are in the same section rather than mime and reign)

that being said the following people are in the same sections:

drumline: fein, rad, doog, oliver

clarinets: fulham, switch, formerly nerdi

tenors/baritones (my band calls them tenortones): mime, silverr

altos: reign, danny

trombones: dylan, nemerald

color guard: cube, zylenox, fruit

that’s all i’ve got for now and omg i wish i could draw them

ABC TEASER IS UP!

If you’ve enjoyed my other human AUs, you’re gonna fall in love all over again. Here’s a teaser for my new fic, In His Hand a Burning Coal, which debuts on AO3 on December 31! There’s cover art (seen here), a snippet from Ch 2, and a very handy glossary that I’ll be linking to in the notes of every chapter, just in case 😁

Hope you’re in the mood for something outside of the box 🔥

Newsies Marching/Concert/Jazz Band Au

This has been sitting in my notes app for ages and I had the brilliant idea to post it here. These are heavily based on my own experiences in band if you couldn’t tell by how wildly specific some of these headcanons are!

Jack: He. Is. A. Trumpet. Player. I don’t make the rules here. Definitely the type of kid to challenge others to “who can play louder” or “who can play higher” and proceeds to blow out everyone’s ears. He gets an earful from Davey, Katherine and the band director.

Davey: I was like “what the nerdiest instruments this loser can play” and was like CLARINET (and then remembered I play clarinet) This kid can play hard-ass riffs like there’s no tomorrow, it’s actually terrifying. He makes it look easy. The others make fun of him but all agree that without him the upper woodwinds would be a disaster.

Les: Davey’s little brother that is always at rehearsal for some reason. He’s around so much he’s basically their unofficial mascot. He carries the school banner haha get it? and water bottles during parades.

Katherine: Definitely the drum major during marching season. She’s really organized and the boys are all low-key scared of her too, so that’s a bonus. She plays the tenor and soprano sax in concert band.

Crutchie: Mallet percussion! He can’t March but man this kid can bang out rhythms on the xylophone and marimba! The others jeer at him and call him “SIDELINES” we do that to our mallet percussion but it’s all in good fun.

Race: ALTO SAX PLAYER. He does not stop playing Careless Whisper, he has no shame. They’ll be practicing drill and then *CARELESS WHISPER* “SHUT UP RACE, I SWEAR TO GOD”. He’s one of the alto section leaders with Finch, but no one knows how because this boy does nothing but goof off? He’s mainly the morale portion of the section while Finch does the actual house keeping stuff, but he’s not that good at it either. Needless to say, the alto section is hanging on by a thread.

Albert: Definitely a trombone player. Knows all the big memes and can play them on command. Despite all the joking around he does (with Race) he’s actually a fantastic player and does killer solos in jazz band. He can rip the paint off the walls with how loud he can play.

Finch: As I said above, an alto player and section leader. He’s low-key done with Race after spending years sitting next to him in band class and half the time you see him he’s on the collapse of a breakdown. But he loves his section as much as he jokes otherwise. He just wishes Race would stop playing Careless Whisper, but we can’t have everything, can we?

Elmer: Also a trombone player. He’s normally trombone two, but he’s totally chill with it, he likes the harmony parts. Also knows many memes he can play on command and he and Albert duet a lot of them from across the field. Like, they’re on separate ends and just BLASTING the Wii theme across the football field. Everyone hates it almost as much at they hate Race playing Careless Whisper.

Jojo: Alto player. No one knows why this kid isn’t the section leader because he’s so good with the section and already does a good portion of the responsibilities. Kids come into band being like “oh yeah, isn’t Jojo the alto section leader?” And are shocked to find out no it’s Race and Finch????? My boy doesn’t take any credit and says he’s just trying to be helpful, bless his heart.

Buttons: Flute player! Don’t have a lot of good parts in marching band but that doesn’t bother him because he gets a lot of the pretty melodies in concert band.

Specs: Plays flute for concert band but since he doesn’t get a lot of good parts, he plays trumpet for marching and jazz band. Section leader for both and is super good at keeping people on task. He’s like the tired parentTM with dealing with his sections (particular the trumpets *cough cough* Jack)

Romeo: Plays the flute. He’s the flute player that complains about how his arms hurt from holding his flute up for SooOoOoooOoOOoo long while the drum line is just deadpanning at him like “you’re kidding me, right?” Whines about the runs he needs to play but gets mad when people suggest he just changes instruments if he hates it so much.

Tommy Boy: DRUMMER TOMMY BOY DRUMMER TOMMY BOY DRUMMER TOMMY BOY!!!!! Plays the quints for marching. He plays a variety of instruments for concert band but he’s really good at the timpani. He 100% plays the drum kit for jazz band. He’s so good at keeping the band grounded, definitely lives up to the “heartbeat of the band”.

Mike & Ike: I hate putting them together because they are two different people, but they need to be together for this head canon. Both play tenor in marching, concert and jazz band. Both tenor one in marching and concert but weirdly enough, no one knows who’s tenor one in jazz band? They both know the tenor one and tenor two parts to all of their songs and just switch day to day, song to song and everyone’s like ???????? But they think it’s funny and they’re both good players so the band director doesn’t care.

Mush: Tenor sax! He plays it for both marching and concert band but plays the electric guitar for jazz band on account that the twins are already the two tenor players and he’s pretty good at it. Definitely a section leader, total sweetheart and gets along with mostly everyone, even the twins, though they do drive him up the wall at times.

Kid Blink: Bari sax player. Honks on those low notes and CARRIES Seven Nation Army. There are times where he alone can over power most of the band and is told to back off. Does amazing solos in jazz band as well.

Henry: Trombone player. Really done with Albert, Elmer and Sniper’s shenanigans. Probably the section leader even though he’s not the best player, just because the other would probably abuse their authority. Poor kid normally spends rehearsal thinking about food and wanting to leave because Albert has been play the Wii theme for fifteen minutes now. His instrument probably also has some nasty shit stuck in it because he eats before and during rehearsal. Gross.

Smalls: Piccolo player for marching band, flute/piccolo player for concert band and plays the electric/upright bass for jazz band (idk why, it just feels right) The upright bass is like twice the size of them but man can they pluck out those bass rhythms. Likes to play stupidly high with their piccolo and poor Romeo and Buttons who sit next to them are just wincing every rehearsal and come out of it deaf from the shrillness.

Sniper: Trombone player. Completes the unholy trio that is the chaotic trombones. Probably going to give Henry a migraine at some point, they are the type of trombone player to try to balance their instrument on their head (if you know what I’m talking about). Knows all the harmonies to the memes Albert and Elmer play just to piss everyone off a little more.

Spot: Drum major for Brooklyn, no questions asked. Do you see the way he cuts off the Newsies at the rally drum major style???
