As an ENFP who’s a violinist I can’t disagree
Dude flutes are definitely overlooked in my school! I was primarily a flutist in my band and in the marching band, and I cannot say how much my band director HATED the flutes. It's because we're always in the front, and there were so many of us that it was kind of unnecessary. And I think he'd emphasize how we weren't taught right cause we expend too much air and play too loudly from that (which was true). And I mean, we had this super arrogant flutist who always wanted 1st Flute (usually the ones with solos and higher notes), so my band director probably was annoyed by him as he sat in the first seat right next to him always asking questions. And tbh I think also why he hated the flutes was because during flute lessons, he's struggling to actually teach us because he doesn't play so well on it, since he plays the saxophone and clarinet, or reed instruments Luckily, I think he kind of favored me cause I was just really quiet in general, and also in playing.. cause I was nervous and shy. But I practiced for hours and took it seriously cause I wanted to improve myself. So I actually took his advice on how to conserve your air and control air speed, and etc. But then that meant he wanted me to play the solos, and I did, but bruh I have performance anxiety lol
I never knew Frank could harmonize with himself so beautifully...

As a (somewhat) mad (cute) teacher who’s also a piano player I‘ve always been into the acoustic guitar player… The voices of Oboe and Clarinet were perfect!
That’s musically awesome! 🎶 ❤ This 80’s kid finds cowbell the most hilarious! And my dad plays accordion so 🤣🤣🤣
Finally calling out the trumpets! I love that we have this shared experience of dealing with the trumpet section....
I play trombone and the “womp womp” is very accurate
Flute being silenced by trumpet is so relatable 😭😭
The squidward voice for the clarinet - absolute genius 😂
😂 as a clarinetist I fully agreed with the "typical" response to the oboe. (Seriously, such a diva. 😒) So much truth on the trumpet railroading the flute. 😢❤ The piccolo believing he can get ladies... 🤦🏻♀️😂 Acoustic guitar only playing Wonderwall took me back to college days. 😂 Would love you to do more musical instruments as people sketches. You could introduce Eastern instruments or have them respond to a capella. ❤ your work, FJ! And keep up the puns (like the bagpipe one)-- always has me in stitches! 😆 Plus, references like SNL's cowbell. You just needed Walken. 😎
Laughed out loud at the piccolo being all about the ladies!
I was waiting for this! Props to Frank for never running out of ideas!
As a violinist and a bassist, this is perfectly hilarious and accurate.
You’re endlessly creative 😂
Very well orchestrated! 😅😊
As a trombone player, I love this representation lol
The trumpet and flute joke was hilarious 😅
Really amazing how accurate some of these are. Almost like Frank used to play in a high school band himself... Love the musical content like this. I really love the rivalry between piano and guitar, though I think there are quite a few pianists out there who don't follow the rest of the band/orchestra well either...
In defence of Cowbell can I just say: "Grazing in the Grass" by the incomparable Hugh Masekela.
Here it is. The sketch I've been waiting for months, and it's just awesome , as always ❤❤❤
How is this already one of my favourite FJ videos ever?!

Piccolo: "Me, too" LOL!!! Ok, even more LOL, Clarinet calling "typical" on oboe having reed issues, because IT'S SO TRUE! Frank, Flute was INFJ, wasn't it? Oh, hahahahaha....you're killing me...."hot cross buns".....HAHAHAHAA! Loved the white glasses on Violin, and the final performance slayed me. THIS IS YOUR BEST EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
0:53 LOL
As a saxophone player I am very sad to not be included in this skit. But as a former band kid I can say the rest of this was absolutely spot on😂
As a flute and piccolo player this was so accurate lol. The trumpet players at my school always steal my ideas. Also my band director's primary instrument is trumpet and he focuses way more on the brass instruments than the woodwinds, especially in marching band. Luckily I get to play picc in marching band this year! (I think my band director has something against picc in marching band. The last 3 shows we did didn't even have a picc part)
"Some of those teachers be mad cute!" 😂😂😂
As a flute player, I have heard my band director tell the trumpets many times to be quieter so he could hear the flutes 😂 One of the funniest skits I've seen in a while
Suggestion: Can you make a part 2 where music genres are people?
Piano is so accurate
I burst out laughing when the piano just raged at the acoustic guitar when he started randomly singing. He just has a mind of his own!🤣
Addendum to my prior post: you can break down different musical sections like percussion and their reaction to the triangle, or different pianos such as organ vs grand piano vs keyboard vs the piano that plays one song by itself, etc. I would love the specially featured instruments to face off: harp, bassoon, bass clarinet, euphonium, french horn, etc. They could have different accents like your awesome Spanish guitar here. ❤
I’ve been waiting for this! I’m a huge music nerd and bass player and all of this is totally accurate. Approved 👍🏼
I like the clarinet as it sounded like Squidward, maybe???
1:01 i had to pause the video to keep laughing at the cello viola violin siblings 😂

How did he manage to renenact an elementary school band so perfectly 😁👌
This is so accurate to band, but also, why'd you have to do bagpipes and accordion so dirty, Frank?? When they're played right in a good combo, they can sound so incredible!
Okay I'll finally say it. Doesn't anyone else love his chest hair?! This video definitely showed more of it. Especially with the Spanish guitar
As both a pianist and a violinist... yep. Love that Piano has the teacher vibes here
I love that you pulled out the forgotten piccolo lol😅
As both a pianist and an organization nerd, I approve of the piano being the guy trying to coordinate everyone.
As a band player, I appreciate this
Trombone gets me every time. I can't explain why, but it's absolutely hilarious.
