+248 For people that are in band, it seems like their personality is reflected by their instrument. Flute players are usually girly and timid, trumpet players are cocky and loud, clarinet players are quiet and nerdy, tuba players are quiet and cool, saxophone players are pretty normal, percussion is usually serious, yet awesome in their own way, and trombone players are funny and loud, amirite?

I've been playing flute for nine years, and never have I met a timid fellow flute player. Girly, yes, but not timid. (Though I'm neither girly nor timid.)

I think the sax players are the most popular guys, but girls are normal. Those guys are mostly pretty darn good looking :)

Sax: Random, loud, and funny

You see it in bandS too. Like, the guitarist thinks hes the man, the bassist is as chill as fuck, the singer is an attention seeker, and the drummer is over-passionate.

You forgot the pit! They're kind of like...percussionists' cousins. I'm not sure what I count as, I did both pit and drums. O.o

I'm sad, you forgot the baritones. We are the cocky and lazy people but everybody likes us. (Which we proved with a vote.)

What, no love for the oboe?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

The trumpets at my school are so weird they're all quiet and reserved. The flutes are usually pretty cool except for this one kid. French horns and oboes are...I don't even know how to accurately describe them but not in a bad way. Trombones are special and need help sometimes but we love them anyway. Clarinets are crazy in a good way and think that their always right (which is why it's so funny to watch two of them argue.) Saxes can be the center of attention with out even trying. Tubas are laid back, funny, and annoying all at the same time. And last but not least we euphoniums don't always use our brains and we can be loud mouths but when we're in control we're not too bad.

french horns are unique and chill. everybody secretly wants to be them.

Ok, 1. don't generalize instrumental players by whats at your school. I was been a band student for 8 years, through middle and highschool, and found many different types of people on instruments. 2. often enough, an instrument can't tell you about a personallity. I've seen a variety of people play a variety of instruments. even guys playing flutes and girls playing trombone. 3. Tubas are the back bone of the band who's bass sound holds the rest up. many different kinds play tuba, all of whom the band can not do without. I played tuba and let me ask you, can you carry a brass intrument on your shoulders while marching across a field and trying to play a song you had to memorize at the same time?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

i know right ,in my band class, the tubas are the bass because the percussionists can't play for the life

by Anonymous 13 years ago

The drummers in my school are exactly the opposite- they're extremely immature. Lol, and I play the flute but I'm not really shy..

by Anonymous 13 years ago

So I am loud and funny but normal? I play saxophone and trombone. I want to play tuba! I feel like a Pokemon master, because I want to 'catch them all', or learn and buy all the instruments. I think I have a problem.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

um why tuba because you already have low brass with trombone why not trumpet

Well apparently our school is special. Our percussion is unorganized and never focused. Our saxophones are serious. Our trumpets and French horns are obnoxious and pervy. Our tubas are complete band geeks, but they are awesome to hang out with. Our trombones like to joke around, but they know when to be serious. Our clarinets are awesome, but kind of awkward. Our flutes are super annoying and never stop talking; our band director throws his baton at them because they won't stop talking.

The saxophone is for the jazzy, outgoing, yet chill people. I wouldn't exactly call them normal.

Ok, guys. I got this. Marching Band peeps, ONLY. Flutes- curious, giggly, studious Piccolos- annoying, not humble, leader Clarinets- silly, ditzy, quiet at times Saxophones- neutral, calm, witty Bass Clarinets- odd, foolish, shy Oboes- quirky, smart, unique Trumpets- loud, obnoxious, the life of the party French Horns/Mellophones- anything but average, reserved, funny Trombones- nerdy, friendly, fairly quiet Baritones- weird, shy, don't smile very often Tubas- sarcastic, athletic Snares- bossy, independent, moody Tenors- focused, enjoy what they do, loyal Basses- crazy, like to be alone, talkative Pit- secretive, strange, down-to-earth Drum Majors- serious, good players, friendly But I mean, this is just based off of my band and what I see in other bands.
