    Euphonium Jokes

    Q: Why was the baritone invented?
    A: Someone thought the tuba should have a baby.

    Q: What's the grading scale for the quality of a baritone?
    A: New, Hit by Bulldozer Once, Hit by Bulldozer Twice, Good for Parts.

    Q: What do you do if you run over a baritone?
    A: Back up and hit it again, just to make sure.

    Q: What instrument does the stupidest member of the band play?
    A: Drums, but if that's too hard, they can always try euphonium.

    Q: Why don't euphonium players play hide-and seek?
    A: Nobody would bother to look for them.

    Q: How many euphoniums does it take to change a light bulb?
    A: Two. One to hold the bulb and one to do breathing exercises until the room spins.

    Q: What do you call a really bad trumpet player?
    A: A treble clef baritone.

    Q: How do you get ahold of a baritone player?
    A: Eu-phone-ium.

    baritone n: 1. vocal: someone who didn't make it as either a tenor or a bass; 2. instrumental: someone who didn't make it as either a tuba or a trombone; 3. a tuba that shrunk in the wash; 4. a trombone with taste; 5. an easier spelling of the word "euphonium."

    Top five reasons not to play the euphonium:
    5: Not being allowed to play in a jazz band or a full orchestra.
    4: Having to explain the differences between a baritone and a euphonium when you're really not sure yourself.
    3: Having to hit both really high notes and really low notes.
    2: Having to explain why your "tuba" is smaller than the rest.
    1: No one knows what the heck it is.

    I got all these from: http://canonicalbandjokes.webs.com/e...itonejokes.htm

    I just posted all the ones I didn't see previously posted. Go Euphs!
