I'm sorry you have such an immature partner

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?

Clearly someone isnt as mature as you. I wouldnt let that get to you, remember the judges aren't critiquing you on fart noises! For all you know it might have helped you! Keep working hard

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!

Sounds like you hit a flat note... Flatulence.

The judges must have been a-gas-t.

Your performance should have gone fart-her.

That is tubad.

At least you looked like the more mature one of the group.

but op is the one that farted

Isn't that all of them?

see this is why you must ride solo in the future.

One note? Don't you mean all of them?

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

Sometimes...I wish I can fart music. Farts are usually funny...at least they are for me. But there are times when being immature is not okay, and that was one of those times. FYL

You never know, maybe the judges thought it was funny too.
