String Band Puns

It was finally the long-awaited end of police violins.

There's too much sax and violins

Edit: Thank you so much for the gold and silver

important, my family speaks Spanish

After my school's Christmas concert, I went out to eat with my family. They were asking me about some people who were announced for having made it into the All-State Band and Orchestra, one of which was a string bass player (contrabajo in Spanish).

I told them: "Si... Ella toca contrabajo. (Yes... She plays string bass.)"

And my dad replies: "¿Pues si toca con trabajo, porque la aceptaron? (Well if she plays with difficulty, why did they accept her?)"

TL;DR: Contrabajo = string bass, con trabajo = with difficulty

A few weeks ago, our band teacher ordered a string bass for the band. It came in today, and he asked me to help put it together. He picked up a wrapped package from the box and I asked "is that the bridge?" And he said yes. "That's a pretty small bridge, how are you going to drove cars over it?" Cue groans from the whole class, minus a volcano of laughter from the teacher.
