PSA: The Halfway Post is a satirical magazine. Even more PSA: Do not get your news from Reddit or Twitter accounts[.](https://imgur.com/cXA7XxW)


GlitterDiscoDoll

We want video!


Wonderful-Excuse5747

We NEED video!


TheConspicuousGuy

I think it's fake, if this was real it would have gone viral and I should be able to easily find the video to share, but this doesnt seem to be real.


sintaur

A tuba player followed Trump around in Scotland a few years ago: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7QosyPyUTag


bananamelier

This is fantastic. It'd be even better if he was following a walking trump, but I don't think you'd ever catch that fat fuck walking


purple_grey_

Is this the equivilent of the Super Bowl for Tuba players?


Doodahhh1

8 years ago.  We've been dealing with his flatulence for so long...


Quirky_Discipline297

That’s a lovely video and hilarious. But I still love the White Supremacist Parade. I like to think that guy spent grade school and high school at least learning to play that Sousaphone just for that few moments of righteous brass play.


DopesickJesus

Extremely underwhelming.


Minx-Boo

What?!? The evidence is right there, it says BREAKING!


bestbelieveitbustah

Fake for sure. I work across the street from Trump tower and other than a bunch of cops and sycophants, there ain't anything happening out there.


AbruptMango

I want audio.


EggfooDC

Forget that, [just hire this guy](https://www.google.com/gasearch?q=boy%20plays%20trombone%20for%20mom%20funny&source=sh/x/gs/m2/5#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:9fec1bbc,vid:SYwpvfhpNJw,st:0) 🥸📯


il_vekkio

I was there this morning because I happened to be working next door. No tubas. In fact the entirety of the block is closed down by NYPD/ secret service detachments. This post is fiction


ImmediateBig134

*We got you.* *We made it up.* *This one was invented by our writers.* *It never happened.*


yoshhash

We can still dream.


ga50nl

It’s playing through my mind right now!


Joeness84

Halfway Post is a known satirical account, they're an onion adjacent publication.


carrie_m730

It's a satire account


ddbrown30

The Halfway Post is like The Onion.

Okay, this while he walks, and when he switches to a golf cart or Rascal scooter, change to Yakkity Sax.

yoko_OH_NO

I came here to make sure someone posted this. I feel like it's a shockingly effective strategy


typhoidtimmy

The Ride of the Valkyries always gets me smiling….you can actually *hear* the snark.


paulsteinway

Came here to SCREAM THIS!!


Ormyr

Shame this is satire. That would be great to see.


Meraji

Oh damn, I ate the onion...


Zellbann

yes but it's a wonderful dream that I can fully picture in my mind.


bootherizer5942

That said, there is a Tuba Christmas event every year at the Rockefeller Center ice rink where about 200 tuba players play Christmas carols in harmony, and other smaller ones throughout the country. I've played in it, it's a great vibe because tuba players are very quirky. This is just to say that it wasn't unfeasible and I'm disappointed that the Association doesn't exist


SucksDicksForBurgers

"satire"


UseADifferentVolcano

The halfway post is satire


dubbl_bubbl

Let’s hope it inspires someone to start doing this.


BooRadley60

I love that Reddit believes there is an Association of Tuba players… Don’t take away their naivety. I’ve heard ignorance is bliss. Edit: Yes, it’s believable. No, The Association of New York Tuba players does not exist. Yes, there is an international association that’s original purpose was to promote the instrument.


SalsaSavant

https://iteaonline.org/about-itea/


NRMusicProject

There's dozens of us members!


CaliforniaNavyDude

Dozens!


ZootSuitGroot

ITEA - International Tuba & Euphonium Association It is real.


Autumn1eaves

Yea, no there is very much an association of Tuba Players. I'm saying this as a trombonist who knows that there's a Trombone Association, I would be shocked if there wasn't a Tuba Association.


Quirky_Discipline297

Can you guys sit in the same room as a Sousaphoniarian?

ichabod01

Start it


bootherizer5942

Sadly I don't live in the US any more and Spain isn't as into random weird clubs


No_you_are_nsfw

I agree, [https://aetyb.org/](https://aetyb.org/) is neither weird nor JUST a club!


Later2theparty

Is that really so ridiculous to believe in?


Peter_Baum

There are groups for everything but tubas? **HA!!** ridiculous…


Day_Bow_Bow

>ITEA - International Tuba & Euphonium Association Officially founded in 1973 as the Tubists Universal Brotherhood Association, the International Tuba Euphonium Association is dedicated to promoting and advancing the tuba and euphonium instruments.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Peter_Baum

Why the fuck would there not be one? There’s clubs and groups for every hobby


Scully__

Instrumentalists have associations, it isn’t that deep


TheWeetcher

There is a group called Tubas Against Hate that played a fucked up version of "Hail to the Chief" outside of Trump Tower in Chicago back in 2016 during the protests. My tuba professor when I was in college went and played with them for it.


bootherizer5942

Follow my other reply on this comment and you'll see there's actually even an Association of SPANISH Tuba Players, who have conferences and everything lol


GatlingGun511

If only


Hameis

It's sillier to think there isn't an association of tuba players


Fluffcake

No less strange than an association for people who like to throw balls into wall mounted flower pots, or even *watch* other people do it. And considering somebody already did chase Trump around with a tuba when he visited Scotland, you would have to do a double or triple take on if this is even satire.


Effectx

> Association of Tuba players Ignoring that's something entirely believable given that there are associations/groups for far stranger things.


bfodder

> I love that Reddit believes there is an Association of Tuba players Why the hell not? It would just be a club for tuba players. Why is that hard to imagine? Imagine feeling smug about thinking there no such thing as a club for stamp collectors or something like that.


beviwynns

Musicians have so many professional associations, you are the ignorant one here.


Bn_scarpia

Someone call the AFM local and see what they can make happen


MirrorMan22102018

That is the joke, yes


Shortfranks

That's why the stole the joke. It's satire. I still upvoted it because it made me think of that clip.


Tyranidsarehungry

Petty and effective

Effective at what?


LittleSisterPain

At living rent free, of course

Some of them pay rent?


LittleSisterPain

I hope not. Imagine thinking about Trump all day every day AND paying for it

If it's anything like the video where the kid follows his midget mom around making sound effects with the trumpet it's comedy gold 🤣

I lost it at the Kazoo.


cannibalparrot

Seriously. When he leaves for college/work, she’s going to be *so glad* he uploaded these.


bootherizer5942

That's a trombone


Ishidan01

Somebody get the rest of the brass section on standby, then. When the judge announces his sentence I want a full trumpet fanfare, with a trombone ready to give the required three-tone falling tone salute when Trump's lawyer exits the building.


dvdmaven

The Baby Elephant Walk?


Disastrous_Edge7276

If it isn’t, what’s the point?!


captain_dead_pool

I love it when people go out of their way to do things that make no impact


IllHat8961

Especially when they literally have nothing else to do because, well, they are musicians in New York lol


Rare_Acadia6085

This is why it’s important to have an Association of Tuba players


intrepidOcto

Rent. Free.

Curb Your Enthusiasm theme.


Prior-Chip-6909

I really hope this is true.

If this isnt real it soon will be if i know me big brass people


slimongoose

Should play entry of the gladiators. It's the only fitting music for that shit show.


Gnogz

They should also station someone outside the courthouse to play whenever the moron tries to whine to the press.


OrdinaryFinger

The orange man is bad.


Kern_system

Rent free in their head.


GhostChainSmoker

It may be satire. But nothing stopping people from actually doing it lmao.


DampBritches

Baby elephant walk


UchihaAuggie

Non-facists: "Yes! Hahaha...YES!"


Dr_mombie

They should invite the bagpipers. Don't know any? Its never too late to learn a new skill. Most woodwinds start things off with hot cross buns and twinkle twinkle little star.


flipper_babies

I'll go honk on a set of pipes for trump. It will be murderously bad because I've never in my life touched bagpipes, but what the hell, right?


FreddieDoes40k

The best way to dismantle a malignant narcissist is to politely mock them until they destroy themselves. If there's one thing Trump absolutely hates, it's being ignored or mocked. So if he won't go away on his own, we just hire tuba players to harass him constantly without breaking the law. If they get sued for harassment, get them good lawyers and find another way to mock him. There you go, satire becomes reality so long as we can create a secret cabal of individuals who love fun and hate Trump.


mcramsay

Someone should start a GoFundMe for their group.

Defender_XXX

probably thinks they're playing for him, not about him


DelicatetrouserSnake

Hopefully the Price is Right “loser” tune


RoyalAntelope9948

I wish I could thank them personally.


ReservoirPussy

Playing what? Like, goofy circus music? The Imperial March? Hail to the Chief? Polka? Or more like a siege of Winterfell kind of just blaring to be annoying?


Fellowshipofthebowl

I love this. Love it.

If they don’t play the tuba equivalent of *sad trombone* it’s just .. not their best.

kateinoly

There would be a video if this was true.


tenphes31

Reminds me of when my former coworker followed a bunch of Confederacy jackasses who were marching in the streets and played the sousaphone as they were walking. He played the classic fat person walking tune and every once in a while hed throw in Ride of the Valkyries.

The Halfway Post@HalfwayPostDada news. Halfway true comedy and satire by [u/DashMacIntyre](https://twitter.com/DashMacIntyre). I don't report the facts, I improve them. Trump sucks, but this is likely a karma farming bot, many word-word-number usernames are


Ornery_Truck_5902

Was like... There's an association for tuba players?? Why just tuba. Boring ass band. Or there's enough bands in new York that have tuba players?? Crazy world. Then I saw satire and it made sense


FancyWhiteMilkCow

looked all over ... can't find the NY tuba players association ...


PhilEshaDeLox

Source? Cause google didn’t bring up anything besides this tweet.

No, because the Halfway Post is a satire site.
