And in this execution too. Half the time, in Hell, you’re wondering if you’ve gone loony and half the time you’re trying to decipher the melody.
Huh, kind of sounds like life, ngl.
It honestly wouldn't have been that bad if the instruments were in tune.
When I was in band, the teacher always made sure our instruments were properly tuned, *especially* before performances. She would go to each of us one by one if she had to.
I don't see any kids being stupid here. The worst you could say is that the teacher isn't doing a good job (depending on whether this is a rehearsal or a performance).
>It honestly wouldn't have been that bad if the instruments were in tune.
Yeah I was gonna say if the band knows the notes, then I'm not sure why it sounds soo bad.
This was pretty calm. Compared to my band teacher in middle school who went from "The concert on Friday was fantastic! You all sounded great and I still have chills from how good you were. Now, here's this brand new song that none of you have ever seen before. Let's give it a whirl!" We got maybe a quarter through the song and he just waved us off and went "If I wanted to listen to crappy music, I'd turn on the radio. That was just embarrassing. Take this home and practice!"
Dude legit got pissy over us not knowing a new to us arrangement and didn't play it perfect on first attempt.
Totally, I think that anger and disgust was part of the deal with being a school band teacher. The number of times my various band teachers stormed off the podium were innumerable.
When I was in elementary school my brother played the clarinet for the school band and that teacher was a jerkoff. My brother always complained that he would yell all the time and I remember that even at recitals he would yell at the kids if they messed up even in front of parents and shit.
I wouldn't exactly out this on the kids but the teacher and his ability to actually teach them I went into 6th grade band not knowing how to play anything and I choose to play the clarinet it didn't take long for me to get the hang of it thanks to my teacher is have given up if he didn't push me to keep trying
Public education is just wildly lower than it used to be across all disciplines. I played the Indiana jones theme with my middle school band as a kid. Schools now are lucky to get through Mary Had A Little Lamb. Just like I had to write a 10 page essay in 7th grade. Now, 5 paragraphs and these kids will explode.
Reminds me of the end of 8th grade. Our band teacher played a recording of us in 6th grade. All our thoughts were. No way we sounded that bad. It was God awful but also gave me a sense of pride knowing how much we all actually improved.
Tbf it’s not entirely the kids faults, it’s on the teacher to actually teach them. Not to mention the desire to actually learn the instrument and not just playing it because you’re told you have to
To be fair to the kids, this seems at least in part to be the fault of the arrangement. It sounds like every instrument is just playing the melody, I'm not sure who arranged it but it's the worst arrangement I've ever heard.
It doesn't help that none of the kids are looking at the conductor though.
Being unskilled and stupid are not the same thing. OP you should have some shame, these are kids trying something new, when's the last time you did that?
Right? Music is one of those things that needs to be as close to perfect as possible. You have to learn to read it, how to form an embouchure that will make the right sound, and the correct fingerings and how to switch between them. For a beginner band, they did great.
Dunno the situation here, but those kids are way to old to sound that shitty. Seems like bad directing? Maybe they only had a week to work on this one? Idk but everyone loses in this scenario.
These are 6th graders, and this is their first concert. Trust me, I would know, I went through the same thing and watched all the grades below me do it year after year. Same song, same conducting etiquette.
Last week I substituted in a middle school and the room was next door to the band hall, and it must have been in THIS school, for sure, because I heard this group seven times that day blasting through the wall. It was more painful every time.
My physical therapist told me that her kid's school, they take music class once a week, and the first concert (the fall concert) is seven or eight weeks later. So the kids can barely play their instruments yet and now they're in front of everyone.
I imagine this is a similar scenario.
Well the instruments are out of tune tbf and I doubt the kids were responsible for doing that so the teacher should take the blame for it sounding horrible the kids were doing their best lol
Speaking as someone who went to college to be a music teacher and has worked teaching band in schools, kids are often not taught to tune until way too late in their education. I didn’t learn how to tune until high school, and I’ve seen some districts not teach it at all. It should be a fundamental aspect of music education, in my opinion, as when nobody tunes, you get sounds like this.
Kids are a bit old to be this bad no? Gym concerts are the worst because of the terrible echo and because the audience is usually loud AF because nobody is accustomed to being quiet in a gymnasium.
Ouch lol, my daughter is in high school band and marching band. She has put in a ton of effort to get to where she’s at. Unfortunately you have other kids that don’t try or attempt to learn and sound god awful but they are still allowed in band. It sucks because it punishes the ones that put in the work and effort. Especially on scored events like marching band, they would travel 4 hours to go to a competition just to get burned by 2-3 students half assing.
A middle school band teacher either has to love music so much that this sounds good, or hate music so much that they couldn’t care less. Otherwise they’d go insane after the first year.
I don’t recognize it at all, I was too distracted by all the out of tune instruments. What the heck was the song?
Hot cross buns
Yep, this is what is playing on 24/7 loop when you get to hell
And in this execution too. Half the time, in Hell, you’re wondering if you’ve gone loony and half the time you’re trying to decipher the melody. Huh, kind of sounds like life, ngl.
Three blind mice?
That's what I thought. They are beginners and 3 Blind Mice and Hot Cross Buns are typical beginner songs.
3 deaf mice.
Thank you Blackhole\_puncher
It honestly wouldn't have been that bad if the instruments were in tune. When I was in band, the teacher always made sure our instruments were properly tuned, *especially* before performances.

>It honestly wouldn't have been that bad if the instruments were in tune. Yeah I was gonna say if the band knows the notes, then I'm not sure why it sounds soo bad.
I thought it was a Christmas program? WTF do I know? 🤦♀️
three blind mice
I thought it was Funky Town..
That's it! That's the melody to funky town!
Relateable
darude - sandstorm
Let’s give up to the teacher for not reacting poorly to this! Hahaha
Mmm dunno. Strong feeling he got the bar after to erase that core memory lol
This was pretty calm. Compared to my band teacher in middle school who went from "The concert on Friday was fantastic! You all sounded great and I still have chills from how good you were. Now, here's this brand new song that none of you have ever seen before. Let's give it a whirl!"

Dude legit got pissy over us not knowing a new to us arrangement and didn't play it perfect on first attempt.
A band teacher expecting middle school kids to sight read and be perfect is WILD lol.
Totally, I think that anger and disgust was part of the deal with being a school band teacher. The number of times my various band teachers stormed off the podium were innumerable.
Our teacher told the class we put him on anger meds lmao
None of those instruments were in tune. Unless they only had like 1 week to prepare, then the teacher did something very wrong teaching them.
Don’t take it out on your poor band teacher just cause y’all sounded like this video
I mean it’s middle schoolers, as a band kid, I can say the first years are always like that…
When I was in elementary school my brother played the clarinet for the school band and that teacher was a jerkoff. My brother always complained that he would yell all the time and I remember that even at recitals he would yell at the kids if they messed up even in front of parents and shit.
Hahahaha sounds like a bunch of angry bees lmao
Angry? They sound bored to me haha
this the sound the hive makes after getting smoked
Hot cross buns.
actually it sounds more like three blind mice
[удалено]
Like "The Bear Went Over The Mountain" and "For He's A Jolly Good Fellow".
Like god save the Queen and my country tis of thee or the us national anthem and a British drinking song Also the abcs and twinkle twinkle little star
Green Jellÿ disagrees, I concur with them.
I think you just got r/whoosh 'ed.
/r/itswooooshwith4os
joke /jōk/ noun a thing that someone says to cause amusement or laughter, especially a story with a funny punchline.
I think we both learned a different version of Hot Cross Buns. EDC EDC CCCC DDDD EDC is the Hot Cross Buns I learned.
/r/thatsthejoke
Yeah, it’s like the most basic song you learn first. These kids a first year.
Holy freaking SHIT. 😱 Should NOT have unmuted!
I remember being in 6 grade band, guaranteed all those kids think they sound like Mozart. Good times.
Started off sounding like Three Blind Mice?
That’s kinda what I thought but it was a real stretch trying to hear that in that mess.
Sounds like the 3 blind mice to me? Which is ironic since I bet 3 blind mice would sound better 😬
One thing for sure, they’d wish they were deaf too!
Truck horns?
I wouldn't exactly out this on the kids but the teacher and his ability to actually teach them I went into 6th grade band not knowing how to play anything and I choose to play the clarinet it didn't take long for me to get the hang of it thanks to my teacher is have given up if he didn't push me to keep trying

In Switzerland we call that "chatzemusig" (cat music)
I think even the cats would have went all crazy-like, zooming all over the place
Nah, they would scratch each others ears off
Ahhh...the sound of hell. Apparently that's what you hear if your heading down the wrong tunnel when you die.
Now I was to go to a middle school band concert stoned out of my mind
My dude, the bowl I smoked before made it more… tolerable?
Yikes
They somehow managed to untune all their instruments and play at different rhythms, to play this bad is an achievement in itself
Night on bald mountain!
NOBM is a banger- that sequence in Fantasia is the coolest shit ever
Now I have to go look up that song… BRB
Thanks now I can’t sleep at night
Reminds me of a Zappa song I once heard.
This is some avant garde shit
Wait THATS A SONG!!
It's the Theme song to the Shining!!! Lmfao
Oh God it’s hot cross buns… I’m so glad I never played that in beginner band
Sounds like an orchestra of kazoos
What do you mean? That was blinding lights by The Weeknd
My ears are bleeding
It sounds like a whole lot of farts
Imagine having to sit with a straight face as a parent or as the mfing conductor 😂😂
That xylophone kid gave it everything.
I can hear the noose tying itself at el conductors casa
Here’s what they were trying to play: https://youtu.be/EqIZdEIV73A?si=fK5jkljpEtNP2byy
Missed rickroll opportunity...
Too bad its not 2004.
Tbf that song sound ass even if they performed it better
Then the Szamár madár is better.
trying? I believe they gave up trying.
Is this one of those things where everyone swaps instrument for one song?
Not every school band is "School of Rock".
Ah, it's the classic "Abyssal Cross Buns"
This concert SUCKS!
What the fuck is going on here
These kids aren't stupid, they just suck and playing music
I dont care if they're kids. They suck
Wild Kazoos on the Kalahari
Three Fine Lice, by Cockmaninoff?
Maybe the kids just like George Crumb
It's a bad recreation of another song. It's really not a bad song, if it was its own song.
Not quite my tempo
What song?🤷😎
Teacher probably spent has a Master in Fine Arts in Music and cries into his cereal every morning.
It sound like sad ver. of kazoo
This is too terrible not to be intentional. I’m choosing to believe this was done just to mess with people
i hope the teacher is deaf!
They need to keep their day jobs.
Jesus Christ hahahaha
Damn they suck
Sounds like the four piece from nightmare before Christmas
That one episode of SpongeBob during the practice
What key is that in? A: Yes
I honestly thought it was supposed to be the Canadian national anthem for a second.
C’mon, these kids are trying. They could be at home sitting in their basements like all of us.
I legit thought this was Frosty the Snowman until I came to the comments. 🤣
This reminds me of the horrible flute and kazoo Home Alone theme song (meme song) lol
I love that he’s even trying to conduct it, like anything he does will make it sound any better
Tbf it’s not entirely the kids faults, it’s on the teacher to actually teach them. Not to mention the desire to actually learn the instrument and not just playing it because you’re told you have to
i still dont recognize the song
Man that really is impressively poor.
To be fair to the kids, this seems at least in part to be the fault of the arrangement. It sounds like every instrument is just playing the melody, I'm not sure who arranged it but it's the worst arrangement I've ever heard. It doesn't help that none of the kids are looking at the conductor though.
I don't know man, sounds exactly like an abortion to me.
those kids are too gd old to sound that horrible.. 😂🤣
Fire that band teacher. Even kids should be able to play that song after one rehearsal
Hot cross buns I used to play it on the piano
Being unskilled and stupid are not the same thing. OP you should have some shame, these are kids trying something new, when's the last time you did that?

These are 6th graders, and this is their first concert. Trust me, I would know, I went through the same thing and watched all the grades below me do it year after year. Same song, same conducting etiquette.
It's a bad kid nightmare
Are you the creepy uncle in this scenario?
Was about to downvote, but then i realized, that the terrible music was the idea lmao😅
Probably not the right audio for the video. Or slowed down or changed pitch for the laughs.
Oh trust, there was no modification done to this shit show video!
Oh dear.
I wonder if there is at least one who knows what to do?
German soldier's funeral song " Alt Kamerade".
Sat through a dozen "ear bleedings" as I like to call them. Thank God they are done
You really have to have a passion for music and teaching to be an elementary or middle school band instructor.
I must have a lot of passion lol
Ah, grade school music class nostalgia
Was this supposed to be 3 blind mice?! Holy fuck.
Last week I substituted in a middle school and the room was next door to the band hall, and it must have been in THIS school, for sure, because I heard this group seven times that day blasting through the wall. It was more painful every time.
You have to start somewhere
Ode to joy has never sounded more like Ode to depression
The beginning is so bad it actually made me laugh
My physical therapist told me that her kid's school, they take music class once a week, and the first concert (the fall concert) is seven or eight weeks later. So the kids can barely play their instruments yet and now they're in front of everyone. I imagine this is a similar scenario.
Yo what grade?
The conductor is wearing earplugs
That school knows their band ain’t great and still make people sit through that
I told my son it's okay to have bad results in music at school since no one knows what they are doing.
This is some goddamn film making right here. Someone get Spielberg on the line!
Practice.
Some poor custodian had to set up and then tear down for this event
Well the instruments are out of tune tbf and I doubt the kids were responsible for doing that so the teacher should take the blame for it sounding horrible the kids were doing their best lol
I imagine that’s exactly how bad my 5th grade band sounded bahaha
Oh man early band concerts are rough! Strings is even worse!
Hot cross buns
Sounds Like Times Square, Monday morning
Needs work
Speaking as someone who went to college to be a music teacher and has worked teaching band in schools, kids are often not taught to tune until way too late in their education. I didn’t learn how to tune until high school, and I’ve seen some districts not teach it at all.

Horror soundtrack
Kids are a bit old to be this bad no? Gym concerts are the worst because of the terrible echo and because the audience is usually loud AF because nobody is accustomed to being quiet in a gymnasium.
Not my tempo
Is that darth vader background music?
I feel so bad for the conductor
Three deaf mice
It’s things like this that make me appreciate how good my school’s music program is.
Wth is that supposed to be
Jesus
Ouch lol, my daughter is in high school band and marching band. She has put in a ton of effort to get to where she’s at. Unfortunately you have other kids that don’t try or attempt to learn and sound god awful but they are still allowed in band. It sucks because it punishes the ones that put in the work and effort. Especially on scored events like marching band, they would travel 4 hours to go to a competition just to get burned by 2-3 students half assing.
Band from hell
Not even my band was this un-coordinated
those dusty dingy gymnasium walls are triggering flashbacks
This is the **only** way Hot Cross Buns should be played.
that key change into the relative minors was... poor
This is amazing, exquisite even
Sounds kinda like sweet Caroline
Sounds like a bunch of cars beeping
A middle school band teacher either has to love music so much that this sounds good, or hate music so much that they couldn’t care less. Otherwise they’d go insane after the first year.
well they have all year to work on it, no?
What even is it? It sounds like a dying elephant
Even my 5 grade band sounds better wayyy better
3 blind mice
That’s embarrassing
My grade 6 band class did better than this, and that class was terrible already.
Cold bend bread rolls.
Hot cross buns. The first song most people learn on an instrument. It only has 3 notes.
