Funny things people in your band said/did, funny things that happened, and hillarious band bloopers.
Heh, not but a week ago it was Spirit Day Friday, and one of our tuba players wore a Pooh Bear costume to school (it WAS in fact our school colors-Red and Gold). He wore it all day, and even marched outside in it. All the way through practice I saw Pooh Bear out of the corner of my eye. eek

hmm well here are two of them that i can think of right now.
Okay so we have songs we need to practice everynight and teh next day my band teacher tells random people to play that song and yeah. Well this kid Nick raised his hand when he was calling on people to play the homework..and Nick was like "Mr. Albright...I'm sexy wink "
and then my band teacher was like "well Nick. Get your sexy self and play the homework stare "
and the next one is...
Well my band teacher has a receding hairline..and well one day the band was being really loud and not paying attention and this kid Ethan was like "HEY! i think Mr. Albrights hairline went back a few inches!" and my band teacher was like "Well at least i can get hair implants. you cant fix your face"
so ya. Many fun band experiances..those are just two i can think of right now xD

in jazz ensemble we were warming up and this senior John found this sound on his keyboard that sounded like a ninja doing a chop or something. it was like "HAWA" and he played it right before we (the saxes) were about to play so we were trying to play but we were laughing to hard.

lol, wow. Band's the only class you can really goof around like that huh?
I remember once in band we were playing an overture and the flutes and clarinets had a light and fluffy part and the tubas and such had a dark part. So, anyway before we got to playing he told us to make it lighter and peppier and while we were playing it, he was shouting:
"Yes, you are skipping through feilds of happy smiling flowers, you bend down to sniff them. OH NO! Birds are chasing you! OH NO, AIR BOMBING! DUCK AND COVER DUCK AND COVER!" We all cracked up in mid-song and continued lauging for about ten minutes.

My marching director says, "On a scale of 1-10, that was a D+."
Then one of my friends wasn't standing up straight, so he threatened to take out the broomsticks. Naturally, as teens, we thought he was threatening to put it up his @$$. >.< No, instead he was threatening to tape it to his back. Quite a funny moment though.
I love band.

Well, she isn't in band
But my one friend once said
"To be in band you have to know how to blow really really hard"
It was amusing xD

Today our BD wasn't around, so we had a sub.
Anyway, one of the percussionists grabs some Masking Tape and sticks it over the door to the Band Directors office. He then takes a pen and writes "Death comes to all who enter here"
It was pretty funny. I don't think Mr. G has noticed it yet.

my first band director comparedthe fench horns sounds to a herd of dieing hippoes that heard on the tv when he came home from work one day. (he puts on animal planet for his dog to watch during work)
second moment...
my second band directors name no one could say so he had every one call him mr.t. on his second day a kid walks up to him and asks him he pitys the fool
band director 2 room on t-rex tuesday acting like a t-rex
before compitition band director 2asks me if his bow tie was on straight, i told him it was on gay
other moments i do not dare talk about because they will ruin them
band director 3 has named every bad moment an "alexis moment" after the first chair violin who has a lot of stupid moments
all of the moments i can think of off of the top of my head
trust me over the three years ive been in a band class, there has been a lot of them

I know there have been moments that have left the entire band in laughter, but I can't remember too many of them right now. One that just happened yesterday, though...
Just before we lined up to start marching (warming up), one of the colorguard ran over to my friend, stole her trumpet and handed her the colorguard flag. Then I ran over to another colorguard, stole her flag while she wasn't paying attention, and replaced it with MY trumpet. Then a third trumpet player did the same. Right after the third trumpet player switched, we were called to Detail, so rather than switching back really fast we just went to each others' spots. We even did the warm-up marching. :3
One girl on the colorguard was like "...you're not colorguard... I'm so confused. What's going on?" and the colorguard girl next to me in line was like "Just go with it..."

We were learning basic marching band moves, and we had to march around the room. My director goes, 'Marching Band is all in the hips! C'mon make it look sexy! Work it baby!' Our director is kind of old and dosen't really like jokes like that, so we were all shocked when she said that. LOL

Hm...
One of our trombone players stole a cardboard cutout of a puppy from the movie theater and chased after cars carrying it and barking loudly.
Then there's this kid that looks like McLovin and he's just.....yeah.
And on the bus ride home from our competition all the guys in the back got naked. xD

I have a few funny moments, if I recall correctly. biggrin
We were practicing the Chicken Dance in the band hall, and one of the percussionists started dancing with his quad-toms. He sort of jumped too high and the quad-toms fell off. Everyone had a good laugh at that. xD
Oh, and in the beginning of the school year our BD asked, "Where's Kevin? We need Kevin to play snare!" The same percussionist that dropped his quad-toms answered, "Kevin not here," and our BD responded, "Jason talk like caveman." Again, everyone had a good laugh. razz
Also, there was this other time when the percussionists (I'm one of them, yay biggrin ) and our percussion teacher were working on our All-Region snare drum etude. I went up and adjusted the snare drum to my height, but just when I was adjusting the height Gabe commented on my shoes. You see, the shoes I wore that day were red flats--more particularly, they reminded everyone of Dorothy's Ruby Red Slippers. So, Kevin went on saying, "There's no place like home," and everyone just started laughing, pointing out popular Wizard of Oz quotes and the such. razz After that, throughout the whole day everyone's been calling me Dorothy.
Ah, good times. smile

This happened just this morning in Jazz Band. We were sight reading Christmas Chestnuts by the open Fire, and I'm the only flute in the band, as well as the fact that I had a piano part.
So we were playing and I got to my solo part, and right after my part our BD stopped us, looked at the rest of the band and said:
"I'm sorry if this bruises your guys's egos, but you all just got blown away by a flute."
*Laughing and ego bruising*
Trumpet Player: "ONE flute, ONE! *grumble grumble* C'mon guys!"
So, we played again.
BD: *Hilarious eye narrowing stare* "Good job, flute"

You know how bands chant things when they win competitions and stuff? We recite the Hillshire farms commercial.
We all crowd around and someone shouts, "I SAID BEEF HOT LINKS!"
You get really funny stares when a whole band of 107 shouts "GO MEAT" at a competition.

My band is filled with crazy people and all of us can talk amungst each other as a group since there's only like 18 people in our band (I got to a very small school). So we have so many funny moments.
We just got an arrangement of The Nightmare Before Christmas and my band teacher hands it all out. When I got mine I started looking at it and singing some of the words to the song since I know almost all of the words and then my band teacher starts singing along with me, word for word. It was much funnier to be there.
Then in strings class (we have like 6 people in there), one of the kids just suddenly jumped out of his seat, planted his feet on the ground, and then started waving his body around with mouth gaping open crazily. My band teacher just stares at him in awe (along with the rest of us) and finally he stops and Ms. T is like "What ... was ... that?" and he goes "THE TREE DANCE!!!" Then does it again, stops, stares at us all and goes "CAN'T YOU TELL??" The teacher is just like "Go sit down ..."
