I will always be there for you, unless I have rehearsal.

I do this when people are blasting music in our parking lot just for the revenge.

If I had as many gigs playing as I do in my computer, I’d be able to afford a better computer.

“I had to break up with him.  My mother didn’t approve.” 

“Really?  Was it a religious thing?”

“What? No. He never played in band and that’s a lifestyle my mother doesn’t approve of.” 

When you ask another band nerd on a date, just remember playing etudes for each other is NOT romantic. Unless, “playing etudes” is a metaphor, then…well.

It doesn’t matter how much you try to hurt me, it will never hurt as bad as getting my hand pinched in my slide. So don’t waste your time, I got a world to conquer.

I have a scar on my hand from this.  And it bleeds.  It always bleeds…

I REALLY want my instrument to be a transformer.

All super-duper professional instruments should do this.  I mean come on, if I’m going to spend that much I better be able to make it do something cool.  ;)

The director looks down at the boy & asks what do u want to play? The boy smiles & plainly says, euphonium. Silence ensues. Both are confused.
