[clarafyer]

So fun fact: I'm a band kid, band kids do the halftime show for the homecoming game, and I chose to do flags for marching band and clarinet for pep band (I chose clarinet for the pun of my name back in 7th grade) and uhh yeah I did a show-off throw at the end for the funnies and my parents caught this frame and I LOVE IT

Hearing the lyric “that’s enough, let’s get you home” late at night on the way back from a band trip in a bus with all my band mates and my first thought being “but I am home”

Band is over for the year and I'm sad, here are all of the quotes I've gathered from it (long) (very long) (contains sex jokes)

I've got myelin on my jeez-o-pete

Ohp- that's not how you put pants on

Great sound! but the battery died :(

Low brass, can you count to six?

Who won the race? not the band

Let's go swimming, no I might die

You're just eating flour now. Mmmm delicious, I'm choking

Why are you thinking about his cock? Thats not very "I like women'' of you

You do everything he says, he's got this big ass knife

Shit me, fuck me, stick me in a can

You're good with that?

I mean, yeah, I know how to use an elevator-

*carrying chimes up the stairs,*

Don't mind me, just a fairy

Festive, super festive, like Santa threw up

They will not be held responsible unless they stab you directly with a sea urchin

What kind of pie?

Pie!!!

Put your bongos away Noah, you delinquent

Nah I like my men with nice tits

Can you feel it, the rays of sunshine, joy, fear

Hey, it's kinda hot up here. It's not really, I just want you to take off your clothes

Anyone want…plugs

If you can suck a mouthpiece, you can suck a dick

That shits gonna kill you

That's the point

Chicken pot?

Pie!!!

Causes microwave issues

C'mon, fuck me in the ass. With a condom, don't forget that part

How are you today

Pretty fucking horny

See, now I know you're gonna hide

But you don't know where

I'm sticking my penis places it shouldn't be. Like the meat grinder. I'm making sauce, making it saucy

Let's play happy!

Oh, I am not happy anymore

Industry baby!

Everybody just started sobbing, you cannot think this is a good idea

He took, no, he took his skin and fed it to his family, he's a good luck charm

When I die, I wanna get cremated and put into a blunt

Ah, fuck me

Was that an invitation?

Was that an offer?

Contrary to popular belief, I am in fact a bottom

Murder hornets all over those clarinets

Sweet Caroline, fuck my ass

There's nothing inspiring about your digga-digga-dahts

Oboe- gods gift to the woodwind section

It's not a gift, it's a a hazard

Oboe, more like oh no

I just burped on the snare

What the fuck-

Just thought I’d let you boys know

Look, a Lowe's! We're gonna build a wall!

Poom poom

Beacon no, we promised we'd stop

I'm the recessive trait hiding in your phenotypes

I'd make out with you in a Denny's parking lot, and I'd suck your dick outside and IHOP

Do you have a shitty pancake restaurant kink?

Ok no, if you got a worm, and fried it in cheese, it would be exactly like a cheeto

Honestly I would eat a worm raw

Ohp you're too tall, I decapitated you

Friends, colleagues, fucking rat bastards

He dropped his euphonium on my tuba once. Well, not my tuba, if it was my tuba I would've murdered him.

We need an instrument. Aha! So, a clarinetist walks into a bar- no-

Where did you even get that?

Theft? I don't know

Babies aren't supposed to be that cute, they're like, all mushy. There's too much skin and not enough surface area

The guy with the bottle of rocks looked like he was having fun

Silas is in the shit container

Honestly I'm just really tired and really horny

A balloon fetish, like, do you stick your penis in a balloon

Dude if a worm looks at me, I will cry for like, two hours

Dad, where do babies come from? Mmm storks

I could fight someone with my cheeks and win

Do you need lungs to play the trumpet? No

Sorry I can't come to band today, my pigs are giving birth

I'm straight but I too would offer my hole to him

Wyatt put your trumpet mouthpiece in this

Do not put your trumpet mouthpiece in this

Vape? Nah, half a clarinet

Have you seen gus?

Oh he's over there getting molested by his mustard yellow friends

I can't wait to get to Hawaii and say 'bonjour, mexico'

It burns my mouth like a hot pocket from hell

I am shiny, fabulous, and full of syrup

I had to manhandle my English muffin

Stop crying, start smoking

I like the humidity. Makes me feel moisturized. Like I'm being licked by the atmosphere, everywhere on my body

No I would like to sex him with considerable vigor

Don't you wanna climb up those mountains, it looks so appetizing. Gonna slurp up those clouds

Oh is that nice on your cute little patoots

Anyone got weed up there?

Yeah! Do you want me to just, like, toss it down?

I remember you, you were useless

Penguins, cause they have toes. That's gonna go well

Let loose and defenestrate

I like it, you look like a stripper

I want to vomit with gusto, with enthusiasm

I am actually a trained exorcist

I like that in a man

That did considerable hurt upon me. I did not like that

They went spearfishing together, that's the gayest shit I've heard all week

Who would win, Scheels or an orca

As in, dressing up in a dinosaur costume and fighting Elvis

We say 'here's the tune,' and then we all just scream for six minutes

Damn girl, what those knees do

Hold on a minute, im sacrificing a freshman to the old gods

No, no, come back, i'm getting sacrificed

I've heard you play, you sound scrumptious, you sound slaylicious

Isn't today a special day to be a third trumpet

No, part of my personality is I'm just having an existential crisis, all the time

That's not smoke on the water, that's I smoked too much

I want to be the justice, wrath, and love of God all at once

He has his masters in going hee honk

Do you like country? Well you're about to find out

He drives like a maniac with his colossal biceps

How do you do the alphabet? It's complicated

Why did you touch your toes like that?

Because we're thermostats

I don't want to know your name, I like our relationship the way it is

You have no business wanting my skin

I will feed your sun dried bones to the old gods

Mack, what time do we get out?

Like, 10:40

What time is it?

10:22

Jesus balls

Violence is not the answer

But cannibalism is

Our churches are all, like, old Walmarts

Shake that bagpipe? Yes please

Everyone's days are numbered

Your number is significantly lower than the average american

Characters: Edward Teach, Stede Bonnet, Alma Bonnet

Relationship(s): Edward Teach/Stede Bonnet

Rating: M

Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Competitive Marching Band, Band directors, Slow Burn, Fluff

Warnings: None

Summary: Edward Teach is the director of the best marching band in the state. They win every competition with ease, and he’s renowned for his work in music education across the country. Only one problem: he hates his job. 

Stede Bonnet is the new director of a struggling program after only two years teaching general music. He’s in over his head and he’s waiting to drown. 

Ed and Stede meet, and all the sudden everything seems possible. Maybe Ed can love teaching again. Maybe Stede can change his band for the better. Maybe they could be so much more than just teacher friends.

here's a clip of band rehearsal.

we were trying to play a song called spania but there's a moment of percussion in the song and most of them were gone.

in the background you can hear the offended scoffs from our bass drummer due to a look of confusion given by our conductor.

and one of our saxes beginning to play careless whisper right before our band awkwardly continues (while trying not to laugh)

He cuts us off and says

'Guys, I have a pro musician tip for you.'

Story time, since I’m so verbose lately.

In zero period today I had a hell of a time transcribing Lady Gaga for my theremin. I’m a featured player in the school orchestra that only plays certain recitals and only comes to zero period on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I’m a bit resented cause the other band kids are required to come in every day and of course they say our music teacher likes me too much, favors me.

Well, you know me, I used to have a crush on him. But it vanished after something that happened. It was last winter, I was a junior, we were all stressed rehearsing for our biggest performance of the season. He had said there wouldn’t be zero period one day and I came in to practice alone because my better theremin’s at school, and found him in the music room. I said sorry, I’ll leave. He said no, stay. I’ve been meaning to try something with you.

He started testing my pitch and seeing how fast I can find the notes he’d tell me to find with my fucking eyes closed. This isn’t a clarinet, I need to be able to see where I’m putting my hands in relation to the antenna. I’d get it wrong and he’d go no. No. No. Try this. Do this. You’re better than that. Come on. Daphne. Try looking at me. I tried. His face was unreadable. And it didn’t help. I was stressing out. He was getting more and more frustrated. Find _. I said _. No, that’s sharp. No. No. Fuck, Daphne! Come on!

Then he went all Whiplash on me, yelled in my face and slapped at my hand and when I started getting worse he looked like he was going to hit me or choke me, his hands were so close to me thrashing around and snapping in my face. I was so scared I went to get my bag and I’ll never forget the way he told me come back here, you’re not done. And unlike Miles Teller I’m a five foot tall teen girl that was terrified of this tall strong man that could badly hurt me if he wanted to, and it made me cry in front of him. But I stayed frozen in place and went back to my instrument because he was telling me to. Of course I made it even harder on myself because the tears blurred my vision.

He told me to play the “Moonlight Sonata” from the fall competition in September. Good, he said. Now with your eyes closed. And I tried, and when I fell off I mumbled an apology and asked to start again. He said, sure. And he came up behind me and put his hands over my eyes and said play. I was at a loss for words. I was shaking, and if you heard me from outside the band room you’d notice all the vibrato where there should have been none.

When I finished he sighed, nodded, and said, good. He patted my shoulders and stepped away and said, “that was pretty good. See?” We had been alone for that whole hour until the bell rang and kids were lined up outside for first. It was when they started pulling on the door I realized it had been locked. He told me that I should come back tomorrow for zero period, and that it would be worth it in the end. Oh, and that he was sorry for how he acted. At the end of class he told us no zero period tomorrow.

Something you should know is that he’s never been like this with anyone, not that I know of. Unless it’s happened to someone in private, but everyone loves him. He’s nice, always keeps the mood light, and makes jokes to lighten us up when we’re stressed. He’d never bring us down when we messed up. He was patient. So when I tried talking to people about this, they looked at me like I was crazy. When class started l stayed because I have first period with him. I kept to myself, neglected my friends to quietly practice with my eyes closed, and even then he kept glancing at me from across the room, nodding at me while he helped the other students.

They say all of our previous music teachers had been quacks. One was a pedophile. One left his wife to marry a student. This guy was praised as the first not creepy music teacher in decades, as well as the youngest and cutest one. I didn’t ever find him creepy, I felt safe and comfortable alone with him. Like I said, I had a little crush on him. Until that day. It was like a switch went off and he showed a side of himself we never see. I wasn’t sure if it was me that was making him act like this but I was scared of him and considered reporting him to the principal.

I came in for zero period because I was worried I had to. I told him I would leave if I wanted to, and to keep the door unlocked. He surprised me with coffee, somehow remembering how I like it from the time we all went to Starbucks after a show. We practiced playing with my eyes closed. I kept opening them in frustration so once again he went behind me and put his hands over my eyes. But this time it felt like he was holding me, he was that close. He wasn’t angry like yesterday, but still he was stern. He said, you know I feel you blinking in my hands, you have to really close your eyes. Relax. Breathe. He took my left wrist and held it to watch my pulse while I played. It was too fast.

Is it me? he asked. I nodded. He smiled, said okay, I’m sorry, left my side and proceeded to not touch me for the remaining forty minutes. He didn’t praise me when I did good, didn’t say anything. He’d just look at me with a certain look to see if I knew what he meant by it. It was like he was testing me, psychologically. This session was even worse than the first and I had to leave to throw up. When I returned class started and I was jittery and spilled my coffee on the band room floor. My friend noticed his name on the cup when she picked it up. No zero period tomorrow, he said again.

By Thursday morning, I had been awake since 3. I had a nightmare he forced himself on me. It sucked, and I still think about it sometimes. I couldn’t look him in the eye. He was chipper. Teasing me the way guy teachers do and making jokes. Said he was thinking of bringing me coffee but didn’t want me spilling it again. The practicing was almost normal. He didn’t touch me and didn’t stand too close. Except at one point he tucked my hair behind my ears and asked me if he could turn off my hearing aids. I was confused, but I let him.

He told me to play the Moonlight Sonata. I couldn’t hear every note, especially because my right ear is more deaf and that’s what’s closer to the pitch antenna. I’d look at him and he’d either nod or shake his head. He never told me to close my eyes though. He did tell me to practice. I did. I practiced for hours at home in spite of myself.

Friday morning, he showed up late to zero period. I can imagine he was somewhere listening to me play. He came in, asked me to sit down. Do you know why I’m making you do all this Daphne? The solo at the end of the show, it’s yours. The solo in less than a month, to be exact, that none of us thought was going to be a thing. It’s yours, would you want it?

In class he told everyone to direct their attention to me. He took out a black cloth from his pocket, walked over to me with a smile, and blindfolded me with it. Then he turned off my hearing aids. I felt him next to my ear, he said, “Daphne? Claire de lune.” In a JK Simmons-esque evil fuckery turn of events, he switched it on me. Yes, I knew Claire de lune, it’s what I auditioned to him with when I asked to join orchestra with my unique instrument. But I had practiced the Beethoven song all week. Still, I was feeling things very strongly about having a featured solo in our biggest recital and I played as well as I could.

I could hear the applause so clearly, and him going, “great job, Daphne!” I pretended to turn my hearing aids back on, but didn’t. I’d just nod to whatever people were telling me and zoned them out. And that was it. One-on-one practice never came up again.

This is the story of how I got my first big solo. I call it hell week. It ruined my relationship with my music teacher and while he never tried shit on me again, I never stopped being weary of him. Though the winter recital was a hit, I rejected his next solo offer that came up in spring. As a senior, I have his zero period but not his class. I don’t come when I don’t need to. He recently gave me the offer to play at halftime at the first local college football game in 2024, and it would be very special but my parents can’t take me and I don’t feel comfortable driving by myself so that would mean riding in a car with him, having lunch and dinner together, and riding home together late at night, unless we were to get a hotel. And I’ve never told my parents the extent of what he did. So I have a lot of thinking to do. In the end, I’m an adult now and it’s my decision to make.

I’ve always enjoyed being unique, being the “only one,” so that I feel special and like I have something to myself. People pay more attention to you, enjoy you, especially one-on-one. But I don’t like very much being the only theremin player. I’ve told him before, I’m self taught, there’s no one around to teach me and no one in our town or region that plays the instrument I do. I’m all alone in this, and I can tell he really likes that and holds me to high, special standards because of it. Like I’m the prized possession of his orchestra. After the winter recital he was so pleased with me he kissed my forehead. It made me feel confusing, warped feelings and I had to fight the feeling of pride and the feelings of being cherished and wanted, that he uses to manipulate me. Just me, it always seems it’s just me. I have to fight enjoying that too. I think that if he wasn’t so conventionally attractive and if I wasn’t such a horny teenager I’d have no problem controlling myself around him. I start to get excited from him. thrilled around him, even when I’m scared.

If I mention him again, he’s Mr. S. And I’m starting to get worried he’s obsessed with me.
