Welcome to Gaia! ::

I don't know how to put this but what Instrument Stereotypes have you heard or think. Like when you think of a person who plays Clarinet or Flute or Sax or Tuba what do you or someone not in band imagine the person?

Like I usually imagine a person who plays Tuba is a big white guy with a beard. =O No offense to those who don't look like that and play Tuba. Which reminds me of that time where I saw some short, skinny, Aisan girl who looked like she was wearing make up on playing Tuba during a performance O.o

I always think Clarinet players to be shy and girly.

hmm, only really good male flute players are fruity
trombone, someone relatively loud and obnoxious
flute, thin, pretty
saxophone, thin, indepedent, hilarious, likes jazz

well in our band:

percussion: lazy bums stare
tuba: cocky rolleyes
trombone: loud, obnoxious, annoying scream
double reeds: dorky emo
(all) saxaphones: borderline weird, almost always messing with and pranking other sections (mostly clarinets -_-) mrgreen
(all) clarinets: quietly weird, never know what's coming when a clarinetist is there ninja (my section whee )
flutes: batsh** crazy eek

Flutes are wimps.
^ Not true! (Even though some of them ARE and just do it for PE credit... -___-X)

I know some flutes that are really hard working and I know how hard it is to do the flute angle - I've tried and it's harddd! x-x And some people just assume that because the flutes don't get the angle right, they're weaklings D:

Oh yeah and people stereotype my section (baritones) as lazybutts... Actually never mind we kind of are. Our senior got 7/11 for us during sectionals LOLL.

Haha no offense to any tuba players but, I always noticed that alot of them are fat white guys who are super nice, quiet and a little nerdy. At least they've always been that way in my band.

And I play alto sax, and I've always noticed that sax players are pretty weird, and always pranksters. haha. At least in my band we are.

Its really sad because this description fits me. I do play tuba, and a little fat and white, nice and nerdy.
