Wow, what an idiot. As a college piano major I give my tender sympathies that such people even exist.

You seem very emotional about this number 3.

I am indeed. It's a shame some people don't take music seriously.

Exactly, and his partner should be used to the tuba making fart-like noises

I agree. If people don't take what they create seriously, then the outcome definitely won't be as great.

You guys might want to consider taking the benefit of the doubt. Maybe his partner was just nervous and this time burst out laughing. I mean no doubt he's heard the "fart" noise on the tuba before.

In nearly a decade as a performer, I've seen some horrifying things. 'Murica is the worst place to try to get people to seriously appreciate art.

You're being thumbed down, they must have finally figured out that 'Murcia is an insult aimed at them. About time, it was starting to get old.

51, you're kind of an asshole. Don't generalize. "'Murica" is something Americans use too as a joke towards uneducated people, racists, rednecks, etc. Sure, the U.S. has a ton of ignorance or other issues but what country doesn't?

I want to know if they're being judged as a team or as individuals. If they're being judged separately, OP doesn't have it so bad. Still, it sucks though!

The judges must have been a-gas-t.

Your performance should have gone fart-her.

but op is the one that farted

Most people think the tuba just makes fart noises, and as a tuba player, I want to point out that it only sounds like that when you screw a up on a note, other wise it sounds pretty normal for a brass instrument
