    Jonathan Robert Schmeling: A flute player and a fiddle player were standing on a sinking ship. "Help!" cried the fiddle player, "I can't swim!"//"Don't worry," said the flute player, "just fake it."

    How do you know when a clarinet player is at your house?
    They don't know where to enter or what key to use.

    How many floutists does it take to change a lightbulb?

    Six -- One to get the chair to stand on, one to stand on the chair and actually screw it in, one to pull the chair out from under her, and three more to complain about how much better they could have done it.

    ACTUALLY, it only takes one flute player to screw in a lightbulb.
    She sits on her throne and the world rotates around her. ;]

    What is the difference between a clarinet and an onion?
    Nobody cries when you chop a clarinet into pieces.

    [WE ARE NOT SERIOUSLY SPENDING OUR TUESDAY AFTERNOON DOING THIS. xDD]

    [You can hear us just fine!]

    Where do flutists do all their practicing?

    When the director works with the trumpets (not that they don't spend 90 percent of that time talking).

    Yes, if the cat's in good health.

    How many flute players does it take to change a light bulb?

    Just one, but she'll have to twist it back and forth for an hour to make sure she gets it just right.

    Because I'm impartial, but can't stay out of a band debate:
     
    How do you know when a clarinetist has died?

    The conductor moves them back a chair...

     

    What do you call a good flute section?

    Impossible

    [touché]

    Why don't most wind symphony pieces have tempo changes in them?

    There are already plenty of ritard.s in the flutes.

    What is a gentleman?
    Someone who knows how to play the clarinet, but doesn't.

    Now... I'd love to keep doing this, but I have to do my homework and eat dinner... before stadium rehearsal tonight. DDDx
    Schmelly, why are we such band geeks?

    yeah, I'm not really impartial...so

    What's the difference between a flutist and a seamstress?

    A seamstress tucks the frills.
    (switch the "t" and "f" if you don't get it...)

    xDD You are quite right, Schmelly.

    Waitwait. One more.

    If lost in the woods, who do you ask for directions, an in-tune sax player, an out-of-tune sax player, or Santa Claus?
    The out-of-tune sax player. The other two indicate that you're hallucinating.

    OKAY. OFF TO DO MY HOMEWORK NOWWW. <333

    But I wouldn't trade it for anything!

    absolutely. It never ends to amuse me that despite our little in-family bickering, it's only because we're the three prominant leaders of the Woodwind faction - and we always know we'll stick together when it comes to the Brass.
