From drum corps to indoor winds, if you play a brass instrument, you've probably experienced these situations during rehearsal or on a show/game day. Every brass player goes through a phase of exploring new mouthpieces or the struggle of loading equipment after a tiring day of rehearsal and performances. These GIFs do a great job representing the daily life of the musician behind the horn. 

1. The moment when you put the mouthpiece on your face and it's under 40 degrees outside.

2. Trying to pick the perfect mouthpiece.

3. Loading the truck after a football game or competition.

4. When the first trumpets hold over a release... every release.

5. When the director says to play the chord progression full out.

6. When your valves are sticking and you've already oiled them three times.

7. When a rookie trumpet player says they have the fastest horn snap.

8. Mellophones trying to see the drum major.
