1. An instrument which is honestly not to difficult to play correctly.
2. The most egotistical and
narcissistic of brass holes, who feel they must always be mean.
3. When it is played well, it is a beautifully sounding instrument which excels in Jazz and Marching style music.
4. Scrap metal. I'm referring to the players here, not the instrument.
Whilst trumpets are beautiful instruments, the people it attracts are not so. They will never admit to being wrong, and if you are a woodwind, expect crap to be thrown your way. They are often petty, immature, and are clearly over compensating for something. I suggest not paying any attention to them during band classes, as they will often be physically injuring each other, trying to pull rank and skill on you (This often fails in the skill department), and otherwise acting as the stereotypical
idiotic teenage boy. (Even if they are female.)
They also seem to have some sort of personal vendetta against the clarinets, who often share parts. It might be
something to do with them having the same concert pitch. (Bb)
