Get jolly with it
You learn how they tick so then you can press buttons like how we bully our band director about the hole he put in the ceiling while tossing cup mutes to the trumpets shortly after we were back in the new room after the school got remodeled. We just point up at the hole every time he tosses something in class and he says he’s planning on getting on a ladder to use white marker or something since he thinks it’s a smudge or something while we’re all pretty sure it’s an actual hole.
the thing nobody here really talks about is how easily students can read their director, particularly if the director is considered good.
Because band students spend so long trying to learn all the visual cues during a concert that every single quirk and oddity of the director gets filed away for later use.
Half of rehearsal time is spent privately figuring out that a raised eyebrow in a certain direction means that the band is slowing down unintentionally, or figuring out that wide eyes means someone done fucked up.
Taking this out of rehearsal means that you eventually learn that an eyebrow twitch means the director is getting annoyed by another person and needs leadership to come up with a problem to save him. A half smile means “good job”, but a half smile plus a raised eyebrow means “hah I’m teasing you about this for the rest of your life here”.
Idk something about how every ensemble, no matter how big, will always know what their doctor is feeling with a quick glance At least, if the director is good

Have you ever looked closely at a car windshield?
The edge of the glass is painted where it is glued to the car but it has these small dots between the clear and painted glass.
These are there for a reason. When the sun hits the glass the painted areas and the clear areas will absorb heat at different rates. This causes the glass to expand and contract differently putting stress on the glass.
These dots help the glass to warm up more evenly over a larger area so the glass does not suffer stress that could cause it to spontaneously explode.
Fun fact: the Tesla cybertruck doesn’t have these.
Yes, the glass will spontaneously crack or explode in the sun.
