Tuba honest, he’s just lucky he didn’t piccolo on the drummer.
It may sound trumpeted up, but this could have ended even more violinly.

I believe I made comment earlier about harassing a band and getting clocked by an irate tuba player and was roundly panned for it.

Tough crowd.
I didn’t see the aforementioned conversation, and so it should go without saying that I was not one of the folks who sat in criticism.
My opinion on this conversation stands, regardless of who does or does not agree with it.

I’m reminded of this one time at bandcamp when Keith Richards took out a fan who invaded the stage…

As a Sovereign Citizen I don’t believe I have to Submit to State Authority, including State University marching Bands.

Football players. Cheerleaders. The popular kids. Their parents. Pretty much anyone who isn’t a band nerd or some other kind of geek.

Of all the people in the band to pick on, he chooses the one who had an option of being a linebacker.

The football coach at my HS was my English teacher. Not a complete meathead, but definitely preferred coaching to teaching. I was 6’-1", ~250 lbs., and I could move. But I was a clarinetist, and I loved marching band. He didn’t make fun of me directly, but I could tell he just didn’t understand why someone who looked like me didn’t want to butt heads on a field. Meanwhile, I don’t have to worry about CTE, and my fingers remain unbroken.

That tuba player did get a good few blows in.

That “heckler” appeared to be very animated… even angry. I doubt he was commenting on the player’s performance. What could it have been? Hm. Hmmmmmm.
Anyway, never fuck with tuba players. They have a lot of brass.
