Hey friends, this is TwoSet!
We're gonna talk about how to piss off your deskie,
or probably just get yourself fired.
How To Troll in the Orchestra.
So for those of you out there that have played in an orchestra before,
or have played in any group ensemble,
(you) probably know that
rehearsals can sometimes become really long and boring.
Like you sit there for 5 hours...
Oh my god.
This guy just won't shut up.
I bet no one was watching this because everyone's too busy practicing anyway...
Piss off your deskie.
Wait!
What?
Imagine playing just 2 notes for 3 hours.
I can't imagine that.
Oh, that sucks.
Actually I can.
It's called "playing the viola."
Oohhoh!
We decided to put a compilation on things that you could probably do...
AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Mhm.
At your own risk.
And...
So, for the first one.
You need a very secret weapon.
Rosin.
You can always rub it on your friends
without them knowing.
Is that Janine Jansen?
Look! It's your mom!
Huh?
You can also...
If your deskie is not listening to the conductor,
and the conductor's like "We're going from figure 10."
Just point your bow to another figure.
Okay, from figure 10.
Where?
False Dynamic Markings.
Made in China Dynamic Markings.
In the break time, find a chance to just write...
something that's unrelated.
Whether it be dynamics,
and it can be a tempo marking.
It could be a phrase.
Or it can just be...

♪ Big dope dealer money, he was making some coins. ♪
♪ Was in shootouts with the law, but he- ♪
This is where you and a friend,
preferably someone from the opposite side of the orchestra.
Find ways to stand up during rehearsal.
In the most...
kind of unsuspicious way.
A couple of ways to smooth in and out and make yourself look less suspicious include:
Pretending to be looking to see what the bowing marks in the desk in front of you, like
What's the bowing?
Basically, you want to stand up as long as possible without getting caught.
Play everything on one string.
Your favourite string.
The D-
The G string.
Things can go very wrong.
I love playing this game.
you can do this in rehearsals, or even better yet in a concert.
It's basically...
You want to move
while you play the music as much as possible.
But people aren't quite sure if you're trolling or...
if you're just a really passionate musician.
Passionate!
That's it for today.
Let us know how you go in the comments below.
See ya!
This is basically someone just never shut up.
His violin was a Stradivari. Did you know that?
