i said matt can only play the triangle i was wrong. he also plays the tuba because in elementary school they started telling kids they can join music ensembles and matt saw band and thought it meant a cool rock band but upon finding out that’s not what it is at all he said “bring me your largest instrument” and played until fifth grade.

then he moved onto orchestra in middle school because he found out there’s an instrument called a bass and thought it would be a bass guitar. but it was even larger than the tuba so he dubbed it even cooler.

then in high school he finally formed a real indie rock band with him on the bass guitar, olia as the lead guitarist, nyma as the lead vocalist and a guitarist, and rolo on the drums. sometimes veronica joins them on the keyboard

Voltron Marching Band AU as things that have happened in my band class/marching band! (this is building off @voltron-marching-band's and @imagine-voltron's ideas) (There are some COVID related ones in here as well) -Lance's slide keeps shooting out under Pidge's chair when he plays Sleigh Ride and he has to hurridly bow down and snatch it before he has to play again. -(In my head Coran is one of the band directors) Coran: Today guys WE'RE GOING ON A LITERAL FIELD TRIP, EVERYONE TO THE PRACTICE FIELD-- -Coran: We're going to the Burlington Mall after for food- Everyone: CHICK-FIL-A!!!! -(Keith plays flute and piccilo) Keith: *has to swap during a piece so he starts setting up his piccilo and stand* Coran: NOT THE PICCILO-- -They all horribly mispronounce their pieces. -Coran, @ a soft but articulated section: Play like your mom is whisper scolding you in the grocery store -*percussion starts the cadence* *everyone in the band starts belting the 20th Century Fox intro* -Coran: Trombone 3's, can you sing your part? Lance: But there are like, 100 people watching!!! Coran: *dismisses that there's an entire audience behind him* No there isn't, sing your part-- -*in brass sectionals* Section Leader: I need you all to shut up. Lance: You know I have a very hard time doing that but I'll try." -Pidge is having trouble getting her euphonium through the door and Hunk runs to her aid like he's been waiting for this moment his entire life. -*in sax sectionals* Shiro: You MAY have sweatpants on, but do you have- *pulls sweatpants down to reveal shorts* -SHORTS underneath them? . . . . I'm tired. -Lance: That moment when I tell a story in Band and everyone but Mr. Coran sent an f in the chat Pidge: He cares not for the common people, and so we must throw him down. Viva la revolucion. -Lance: A trombone is a COVID flamethrower -Coran: I have to log in for parent night and explain to them that I have no idea what I'm doing. -Hunk: Could you hear Pidge? Lance: I could only hear Pidge -(Shiro also plays Baritone Sax) Hunk *drops his mouthpiece down Shiro's bell to see what happens* *can't reach it* quiznak Shiro: *proceeds to shake his instrument and open the valves trying to get it out*

Aaaaand here I go ( I have too much time on my hands lol) Note: at my school, students can join marching band in 7th grade, so I’ll refer to the youngest members/newbies as 7th graders. We also have winter guard and winter percussion!

Voltron Marching Band Stuff!

Space Dad:

-either drum major or low brass section leader

-maybe percussion

-if he’s drum major he gets super mad at people who don’t watch him (pay attention to the drum major, kids)

-but he tends to laser focus on one kid who’s not looking instead of the band as a whole

-actually might mess up his conducting

-the kind of person newbies are afraid of

-but is actually a sassy queen

Pointy Chin

-lance is the saxophone section leader

-he literally only plays meme songs

-*cue mii theme played on repeat*

-he’s also in color guard

-you think Shiro is sassy

-nvm that

- is legit that one person on the bus that airdrops memes to everyone (me and my friends)

-but only does it at 4:30 am and 1:00 am

-rifle is his favorite

-he names it Shakira

-prob sleeps with it in his arms

-expects all other guard members to be on his level of sass

-it’s impossible

-can easily do 9s-13s bc he tall af

-cries at his last show (marching and guard)

-actually doesn’t cry at graduation

Emo Boi

-trumpet -period end of sentence Me: *erases period*

-possibly percussion

-if he gets talked into joining guard, sabre will prob be a favorite

-I mean

-it’s a literal weapon

- what do you expect

-has a soft spot for swing flags and performances at football games

-has a shrine at his house dedicated to band/guard (my friend has a full bookshelf for this reason)

-unlike Lance, he has no patience with new people

-“POINT YOUR FRICKIN TOE FOR MY SAKE AND YOURS”

- has hit people with a flag

-only on purpose

-loves trumpet, but can only play high notes

-he gets so mad about this that he spends an entire night trying to find reverse helium in hopes that he can play a friggin low C

-refuses to cry at graduation

Smol Pigeon

-clarinet and flute

-the first time she was looking at the instruments you could pick for marching band, she was instantly drawn to the small ones

- was glad that she didn’t have to carry a huge case around

-decided to not do guard after lance dropped a rifle on his foot and nearly broke it (his foot, not the rifle. I’m not that evil)

-almost got trampled on her first performance

-one time she got her period on a practice day and at one point simply screamed “I MUST BLEED”

-then she left

-came back five min later and everyone was terrified

- she didn’t get trampled next performance

-is the person who buys like 20 reeds and just goes through them like toilet paper

-like

-HOW

-you get the idea

-is sad at graduation, but doesn’t cry

Cinnamon Roll

-baritone boy or tuba boy

-everyone’s favorite

-one time he made everyone cookies

-was worshipped for a solid week after

-loves the idea of playing music for people

- heck, if he can make people excited for a football game, he’s content

-loves everything about marching in general

-doesn’t even mind the field turf in his shoes

-is too pure for the stereotype of low brass land

-can circle breathe(look it up)

-takes him a while to memorize a piece -once he does he can play it flawlessly

-is honestly a blessing to the marching band

Space Mom

-I feel like she would have played flute in normal band and then dropped it when color guard was an option

-absolute QUEEN

-is legit the only person who has a steady enough hand to do makeup on the band bus

-loves the weapons but is best with the flags

-comes up with most of the choreography for shows

-the one time she cut herself with a sabre she was more concerned about whether or not it was okay after she dropped it

-can actually do a perfect 13 on sabre AND rifle

-her posture is great

-but she can’t slide for the life of her

-can jazz run/walk

-but cannot slide

-her toe is so pointed it looks like she’s breaking it to do so

-it scared Keith to death the first time she pointed it

-hates most of the costumes, but loves the flowy, dressy ones

-kind of expects 7th graders to toss perfect quads on their first day on flag

-understands why they can’t but is still frustrated

-is a great teacher

-the marching band is more sad when she leaves than she is

Hope I represented all the things correctly! I only play trumpet and am in guard, so I don’t exactly know much about the other instruments.

Marching band au

Lance is a trumpet during marching season and a sax in concert. Jack of all trades, this man.

Keith is a flute section leader who aims to buy a cheap broken flute and launch it like a lance at lance cuz he doesnt know how to deal with his gay feelings

Btw I'm a clarinet idk how trumpets/flutes work I cant draw.

Also thx whoever it was for inspiring me and making me obsessed with this au

[voltron-marching-band]

shiro got keith to join marching band bc he got into some serious trouble with a physics teacher who agreed to not have him arrested as long as he’s “kept out of trouble by any means possible ” during the summer. that doesn’t stop him from stealing shiro’s car during dinner break, but he does come back with donuts

I've been reading all these voltron Band au's and for the most part there's very little I'd change. I like to think that people who aren't in band assume that he's on the football team or something. I don't know about you guys, but I really want Shiro to play something like the flute. Hear me out, ok? New kids like incoming freshman and transfers see this majestic upperclassmen right? And they think he must play some grand Badass instrument, something bold. ... But then he just shows up to practice with this teeny tiny case, yknow, itty bitty. Especially compared to his stature. And the music he plays?? Elegant as fuck. The first time you hear him play is a religious experience that pushes you right to the brink of tears... and that's just his warm-up. He doesn't just play melodic ballads though, oooh no. He'll play the the most astoundingly complex music, music so fast. Guys you don't even know. To top it all off he'll stop playing and grin all embarrassed because "uh-oh" he's drawn a crowd and people are watching him slack-jawed and teary eyed

Voltron Marching Band AU

I keep seeing marching band aus out there but I don’t agree with them so I have to make my own. Here goes!

Shiro: - dedicated tuba - somehow first chair even though he’s convinced that the rest of his section is better than him??? - he’s very modest - has lungs like a fucking blimp - *plays thirty-two 4/4 measures at a super slow tempo* - *still hasn’t taken a breath* - hYDRATION - always making sure the rookies are taking care of themselves - “did you eat breakfast today??” “are you drinking water???” “don’t strain yourself too much, but remember to practice! :)” - the band mom - has the music memorized the day after he gets it and no one understands - except pidge - the only one who doesn’t break a sweat during band camp and the others are so concerned - “shiro seriously are you dehydrated you’re supposed to sweat how are you not dead” - shiro: *shrugs* *does the entire routine* *isn’t exhausted yet* *still hasn’t sweated*

Hunk: - fourth chair saxophone - would play bass guitar during concert season but he loves his saxophone - can play alto, tenor, and bari, but alto is his favorite - “it’s so small omg I love it so much” - would die for anyone in his section - has memorized every alternate fingering ever and is happy to share his knowledge - he’s on the loading crew because he can carry a sousaphone in each hand and a bass drum on his back - not very good at sight reading - he has to hear the music before he can play it - but he plays great by ear - has never chipped a reed - ever - not even at band camp - pidge is jealous - just. sounds like an angel when he plays - takes such good care of his sax by killing literally anyone who touches it - “did you just dent my saxophone” - terrified rookie: um I’m sorry omg don’t hurt me I don’t wanna die I’m so sorry I’ll do anything - most of the younger kids are absolutely terrified of him and he’s okay with this

Keith: (I’ve seen a lot of “trumpet keith” aus but honestly?????) - keith is drum captain - he plays snare and he fuckin kills it - keith is not a good leader in most aspects of his life but when it comes to music he’s just so in tune to it and he knows exactly what everyone needs to do to make the music perfect - one of those people who can tell whether a note is in tune just by hearing it and he hates it - “pidge you’re out of tune” - “I just came from the tuner I’m perfectly in tune!!” - “okay but you’re not you’re a bit sharp actually” - doesn’t know how to dynamic - “okay keith that was great but you need to tone it down a bit. play a bit softer, your dynamic is piano” - “lol what does softer mean” - he just beats the drum as hard as he can all. the. time - never officially came out to the band, coran found him and lance making out in one of the practice rooms and afterward lance wrote “keith is gay and dating the color guard master” on the white board - everyone was confused because “why would he date allura if he’s gay” - lance was very bitter

Lance: - trombone during concert season - but in marching band he kills with a flag - so flexible omg - “keith look what I can do with my leg” - “please untie yourself you’re going to get stuck” - (he has gotten stuck before) - hips made of fucking. rubber or something idk how do they mOVE LIKE THAT - he and keith are not allowed to be within sight of each other in shows because keith gets so distracted by lance’s Hips From God™ - gives the rookie guard members makeup tutorials - has a large role in the costume designs for the year because in lance’s rookie year the outfits were clashy and not good and lance was horrified - he vowed to fix this abomination - has never dropped a flag. not once. - he has, however, lost grip of his rifle several times and accidentally nailed someone in the head - he is the reason all the rifles have grippers now

Pidge: - second chair clarinet and super salty - has a photographic memory so she memorizes music like that - doesn’t understand bass clef and will never try - “that’s an e” - “no pidge this is bass. that’s a g” - “that’s a fucking e fight me” - absolutely despises first chair clarinet - “he’s so cocky I hATE HIM SO MUCH” - really good with rhythms? - hunk doesn’t understand this - “hunk all you do is count it. look” - “can you just sing it for me i’m lost” - drinks 2948592859$-484 gallons of water per day - puts on so much sunscreen during band camp that she gets paler - “pidge why don’t you lay off on the sunscreen and try to get a tan” - “because, lance, not everyone wants to get fucking sKIN CANCER” - when she burns she burns bad - somehow still has a sock tan??? - “heh look pidge’s feet are DARKER than her legs. told you you were getting paler” - her reeds never last more than two weeks - they are always broken, usually because she refuses to buy a mouthpiece cap - “pidge this is why you’re second chair” - doesn’t do trills. ever. hates trills almost as much as she hates the first clarinet - coran tried to get her to play bass clarinet in concert once - her reaction was basically ??????? - “coran i’m three inches tall and have the muscle mass of a corn chip I can barely lift my regular clarinet” - absolutely lives by the “if you see a word you don’t know look at the director” rule - no knowledge of musical terms - “accelerando??? lol what’s that”

Allura: - baritone during concert season - color guard captain - the master of “spin a thousand times without getting dizzy” - perfect balance - has literally stood on three fingers and spun a flag with her foot and could do it again - very loud - she will always be heard - thinks the rookies are cute but she will not put up with their shit - “lance stop giving everyone makeovers we’re supposed to be learning the routine” - has made a flower crown for her flag - so graceful - has never fallen - has dropped the thing she was spinning (flags, rifles, sabres, etc) exactly once and that was because she threw a sabre at lance’s head - coran was not pleased but it was pretty funny - can do your hair 101 ways but only one of them is acceptable because we all have to look the same, goddammit lance stop with the braid trains - doesn’t take lance seriously at all and tbh he doesn’t blame her - took dance classes as a kid and found that she enjoyed it - but color guard is where she belongs - (even if some of her fellow guard members *cough*lance*cough* are assholes sometimes) - one time a toddler ran out onto the field during a show and hugged allura’s legs and she melted - “coran can we keep it” - “her parents are right there” - “but can we keep it” - pretends to be Mature and Serious but in reality she’s as much of a dork as the rest of the band - once she heard a cheerleader say “i’m glad we don’t have to work with the band like the color guard” and she decked them - has temper issues but is overall a great performer

Coran: - the wacky director - band camp stories take up half the class time - if someone doesn’t want to play this part again, or is tired of marching this set, all they have to do say “hey coran did ___ ever happen at your band camp” and coran will never shut up again - this is a risky move though because if he realizes what you’re doing you will never see the light of day again - the living embodiment of “one more time” *ten times later* “one more time” - “if you’re not perfect then we’re not competing” - was humiliated once by a rival school because of an immature band - will never let it happen again - tries (and fails) to reference modern pop culture - “i think you kids will like this song! it’s kind of like that one the kids sing now with the doors and the painting” - “the what now” - “you know, the one by those scared parties” - he means well - super chill but if you get on his bad side then you will see hell - jokes around a lot but he is serious when it comes to music - and if you’re not then coran will not hesitate in kicking you out - “if you can’t play your instrument then you wON’T PLAY YOUR INSTRUMENT HOW’S THAT BYE FIND A NEW 5TH PERIOD TEACHER” - a professional Student Roaster™

Voltron Marching Band AU?

Thinking of writing a marching band AU where Lance is the trumpet section leader, Shiro is drum major, hunk is a tuba, pidge is keyboard, and Keith is a color guard member. And of course #Klance.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Yay or nay?

[flusteredkeith]

For the prompt thing: I was on a plane in the very uncomfortable middle-seat-of-the-middle-section and the (actually kind of cute boy I had been talking to) next to me fell asleep. Normal for an overnight flight, but he forgot his girlfriend was in the seat in front of him instead of the one next to him. So what followed could only be described as a GLOMPH as his half-conscious brain decided I would make a great pillow.

This story gave my heart the flutters ❤️ Since you’re on anon, I’m not entirely sure what pairing you like but… since my blog is like 70% sheith, I’m gonna assume you’re here for the sheiths. (I’m so sorry if that ended up being way off mark.) Here’s a little bit of a marching band AU I’ve been meaning to develop so this will be a small experiment!

Keith can hardly feel his right arm anymore. It had fallen asleep half an hour ago, along with the person leaning against it with his head resting upon Keith’s shoulder. When the only two seats left in their group had turned out to be in the middle section on their international flight, Keith had insisted Shiro take the aisle while he offered to take the uncomfortable middle. And although Keith doesn’t regret this arrangement in the slightest, he does wish he had a way to fall asleep more comfortably himself.

The rest of the drumline in the two rows in front of him are slumbering away. Over by the window seat to his left (which Lance had made sure to snag the moment he stepped onto the plane) Lance and Hunk wink at him before putting on headphones to watch a movie.

Scowling, Keith turns back to his own screen, remaining rigid and unmoved. Shiro shifts next to him and Keith stiffens. The proximity and point of contact alone is enough to send shivers down his spine. Shiro’s head slips a little, then readjusts itself, his tuft of hair tickling Keith’s neck. Keith finds that he can hardly breathe.

Oh well, he thinks as he rests his cheek gently against Shiro’s forehead. He supposes staying awake will help with the jetlag anyways…

—

When Shiro wakes, Keith closes his eyes and pretends to have been asleep. He feels Shiro’s warmth leave his shoulder and cracks open an eye to peek out at him.

“Hey, sorry about that,” Shiro says with a yawn. “I didn’t mean to…”

“It’s fine,” Keith replies, trying his best not to be too obvious in stretching out his arm. “Did you sleep well?”

“Yeah,” Shiro nods, rubbing his neck. “How about you?”

Smiling through his deep eye bags and aching shoulder, Keith hardly even registers the words coming out of his own mouth.

“I slept terrifically.”

Send me an instance (big or small) that happened to you in real life and I will try to turn it into a short drabble!
