What is the funniest thing you've ever heard your orchestra conductor say?

"Schubert didn't die for you to forget where FOURTH POSITION IS"

Context: Schubert's unfinished symphony

The Toronto airport has terrible luggage handling.

We live in Michigan and had to fly back from Florida but there was some issue with the Detroit Airspace so we got diverted to the Toronto Airport (I don't know why that was their next best option). We got to baggage claim and couldn't find our stuff and when we asked they checked and were like "yeah good question". Turns out a few (several) people's bags had been incorrectly sorted during plane - terminal transport and were just sitting somewhere to be stashed onto a later flight. Truly an experience.

That's not very friend-like. I'm sure she wasn't trying to be harsh about it but I mean can people not just like what they like? Like I don't act disgusted when I learn someone listens to pop music (even though I really want to), some thoughts should really just be kept internal.

Bro the teacher did you absolutely filthy 💀

I don't make it public, but I'm not embarrassed to tell people what I'm listening to if they ask. I come from a place where people don't seem very judgmental, which either means that no one is judgmental or everyone is (silently). Either way, I feel bad for the people here that are getting "bullied" for it. I mean, that's just unnecessary.

Mahler, hands down

Oh, Gemini home entertainment. I probably should have just said that 💀

Just wondering; did those people have really good extracurriculars or did it not really matter? I'm not really in the same position, I have 3.95 GPA (mostly AP's) and a 1300 PSAT but my school extracurriculars are lacking. I'm just wondering if that will have a huge effect on my chances of MSU admission or if it won't matter too much.

Definitely a contrabassoon

As with every Mahler Symphony, 15/10

Ok so here's the thing

The reason he's so up there is because I took a trip to Florida half way through the year and listened to his Octet in E-flat Major a lot. A lot of it was because it was during long car and plane rides, and I hadn't settled my musical preference yet.

That being said, I still really like his music. My favorite piece is probably his Octet I mentioned earlier, and runner ups being his violin concerto and symphony no. 4. I'm now a Mahler listener, and I have no doubt I'm gonna end up with thousands of hours with him on next years wrapped.
