Find your zen with this serenely panicked Unisex Jersey T-Shirt featuring the "Smile. Breathe. Count the rests" design. The soft, lightweight combed cotton keeps you cool through practice rooms, lessons, rehearsals, music camps, or a casual day with no entrances to worry about. Ninety-six measures of rest. The brass are having the time of their lives, the audience thinks you're on a break, and you are sitting perfectly still doing math you cannot afford to get wrong. Was that forty-one or forty-two? Did the conductor just cue you or brush a fly away? Keep the pleasant face. Keep breathing. Drop the count and the whole section goes down with you. Great for gifting during holidays, birthdays, recitals, or the start of concert season, this tee resonates with section players, ensemble musicians, teachers, and anyone who appreciates both quietly-counting humor and comfort in their everyday wear.

Second violins forever. This shirt is the mantra I whisper during every tacet movement. Super soft, and the fit is relaxed but not boxy.

★★★★★

Alonzo Fitch ✓ Verified purchase

I play tuba in a community band and my kids bought me this. Wore it to the first concert rehearsal and the percussion section applauded.

★★★★★

Greta V. ✓ Verified purchase

The lettering is clean and the shirt is comfortable enough for long rehearsal nights. My stand partner already asked to borrow it.
