If you thought attending music concerts in the space bubble to prevent coronavirus from spreading was far-fetched, then wait until you see how students are attending their band practices in Wenatchee city of Washington state in the United States. A reddit post shared on Wednesday shows students from the American county attending the band practice inside mini green tents with a transparent sheet in front of them. The picture, shared by u/orchid_breeder on the social media platform, has garnered over 58.7K likes.
The students were seen crammed inside the stuffy tents with their respective musical instruments from violins to drums to flutes. But one user wondered how did the students with giant instruments like trombone or tuba fit into the tent. Replying to one such query, one user shared an image from Imgur where a man was seen jammed inside the mini tent with his tuba. One can only imagine how he must have practised his tunes.
Netizens hail the picture as the single greatest representation of the past year that they have seen. Another user commented that they have giggled at the sad situation so much the past year that it is a totally new feeling for them. The user mentioned how they are both chuckling at the absurdity of the picture and crushed with sadness at the reality.
Netizens were certainly pitying the student who was in a miserable condition and one user was sad giggling with humour and cringing at the poor tuba player and also begged to save him. Another hilarious comment read,“We're not getting vaccinated for our sake, we're getting vaccinated for that poor tuba kid.”
Some users thought that if someone had shown this picture to people in early 2020 and had said that this is what will happen if everyone does not take it seriously. Maybe people would be more responsible.
The picture also made some users wonder how much bacteria, mold, fungi, et cetera inhabit the inner workings of wind instruments.
