I faked trombone all the way through middle school. Adam, the kid next to me, knew how to play trombone and could read the music as well. What I did was create my own system of trombonal slide positions, numbered 1 through 6. Then I would watch where Adam moved his slide with each note played, and I would write the corresponding number from my system above each note on my paper.
I leached you like a vampire, Adam.

Mayonnaise.
All of them.
First of all, guy on the right isn't just a non musician, he's an ignoramus.
Second, Careless Whisper is only the THIRD most iconic sax song after Baker Street and Run Away (Eurovision origin of Epic Sax Guy)
Me, a normie: Nerdy noisemakers
I didn't see mayonnaise on either list?
Keyboard players: everything is keys
Euphonium is a fun word.
Shouldn't cello be part of the "Squidward Flute" group?
