Hey there all you band geeks! So, Frost Symphonic Band, I vote we should totally get everything out of being upperclassmen!!!!!!! But first, band jokes:
Why are a soprano saxophone and a murder trial similar?
Everyone's happiest when the case is closed.
How do you tune two piccolos?
Shoot one...
Why is a bassoon better than an oboe?
A bassoon burns longer!
A guy walked into a bar. The measure ended right then.
And sectional stereotype #2: SAXOPHONES!
Okay, so most saxophone players are serious band geeks, but there is a big divide between them and the other saxophone players who don't like band and are in it to fill an elective. We band geeks don't like those people. Alto sax players tend to be pretty socially adept and usually kind of popular, but tenor and bari saxes usually are a little more individualistic. Sopranos...don't even go there. And keep away from ANYONE who claims to play sopranino or soprio saxophone. That's a death trap.
Next week, the stereotype will be a brass instrument. I just need to think of one.
See y'all in band,

So hey there! My name is Molly and I play clarinet, tenor sax, string bass, and a bit of piano! I am co-author of the Band Geek Blog to share what I know best: Sectional Stereotypes and later, a few band jokes.
Today's sectional stereotype: The Clarinet Section.
Clarinet players are the most competitive of all the musicians. This is because if one is first chair clarinet, one gets to walk out on stage at the very beginning of the concert and tune the whole band!! Because of this, the clarinetists try very hard to be better than the others. Trust me, I would know. I am a die-hard clarinetist. Clarinets are also known for hanging out mostly with brass, percussion, or even string players, as they are not seen as a threat.
Now for a trio of band jokes:
What happens when a tuba falls out of a window and lands on a police officer?
A flat major!!!!!
How many clarinet players does it take to change a lightbulb?
Just one, but they will go through all the bulbs in the box before they choose the right one!!!!
What do you have when there are 100 bad percussionists up to their shoulders in concrete?
Not enough concrete!!!!!
