I’m sure this has been done before and yet here we are: Harry Potter characters as orchestral conductors, a thread



When the cellos are being too self-indulgent... AGAIN
When your principal flute has poo for brains and needs a REALLY big cue
When you did not sign up for conducting classes and yet here you are doing a compulsory module and wishing very much never to have to do this again
Last concert of a long tour
That 11/4 bar in The Rite of Spring
The much-loathed guest conductor who puts bums on seats
After you foolishly asked the brass section for 6 Fs
When you’re having to conduct a Justin Bieber Orchestral Spectacular because you just had a nasty tax bill and you really need the money
“No, I never use a baton”
When you’re trying very hard to look sexy for a new publicity shot but it really doesn’t go well
When someone knocks on your dressing room door 10mins before you’re due on stage
The really, REALLY enthusiastic student conductor
Trying to wade through a hand written score with multiple transpositions
Meeting the sponsors
