Band Nerd Accidentally Hits Fellow Percussionist In the Face With His Drum Mallet, Keeps Playing Like Nothing Happened

The show must go on! Job well done to this guy. He’s a regular Andrew Neiman. There was a split second there where it looked like he was going to abandon ship, but he didn’t miss a beat. He gathered his thoughts, made peace with the fact that he may have just murdered a classmate, and carried on like nothing happened. To be honest, it’s kind of embarrassing the girl didn’t do the same thing. It’s not like she got hit in the face with a hammer. It was a padded mallet and it hit her square in the forehead. She ran off like Mary Katherine Ghallager. I think she was more frazzled than anything else.

I joined band once just so I could go to Six flags. Faked every note. They knew I was bullshitting too but couldn’t do anything because everyone was allowed to do band regardless of how shitty they were. I played tuba because I had, “fat lips.”

Not sure what happened there.

Anyway, this kid is going to be remembered for that the rest of his life. Or at least for the rest of middle school. Hopefully the girl he hit is able to shake it off and make her way back on stage for the encore.

PS: Never forget the GOAT.
