We all know that every BD has made at least one analogy to explain something to the band. Post those analogies here!

My MS BD was describing how the saxophones play. "Like a dying goose," he said.
I quickly followed that remark with a very loud "HOOONK!" which went over quite well.

Marching Band no Jutsu My MS BD was describing how the saxophones play. "Like a dying goose," he said. I quickly followed that remark with a very loud "HOOONK!" which went over quite well.
...D= Only bad saxes sound like that...:[
This wasn't my director, but our drill writer/visual tech/EVERYTHING was trying to help us with a visual last year for the end of our show. We had to be intense, like a "heart attack on a plate"- all the bacon, eggs, and everything else you can think of. It was pretty amazing. xd And this isn't really an analogy, but there was a song about someone who wasn't being intense..."I love you, you love me, I'm gonna put my horn down on three ♪"...It was very beautiful. :]

In 7th grade, my BD was trying to get the trumpet section to understand what role they played in the band so they would know about how loud they should be. So he said, the other sections are the bread part of the cake, and the trumpets are the icing on the cake.
This one was actually from the color guard instructor at my school, I don't know how relevant this is, but it kind of concerns band. He said that the color guard is what people watch, and the band is just what people listen to while they watch color guard. So color guard is the face, and band is the make-up which make the face prettier.

Naked turtles!
One day, before a music festival, our band director told us to be like turtles that had to come out of their shells, and expose everything to the audience.
Something like that. Therefore, that was how our band mascot came into being.

Freshman year, he was telling us why we shouldn't pirate music off the internet.
"Pirating music is like...stealing....blender trucks! You're not going to sell many blenders if 9 of 10 of your trucks are hijacked and all the blenders given away without any profit to you! It works the same with music. If you illegally download stuff, it's like buying illegal blenders."
...or something to that effect. o_0

we've had the comparison of balance to: cakes and christmas trees and mountains
I dont remember specific analogies though, I know there's been a few odd ones D:
we have a saying "dont make the turtle sad!" for the drummers XD
but that's not an analogy...

Ah, a sub in band class back in junior high had some legendary metaphors.
The most famous one happened when he yelled at an annoying kid,
"YOU ARE THE PEBBLE IN THE SHOW OF THIS BAND."
goodtimes.

Our BD loves the bass clarinet section in our band.
anyway, one day, he was working with the Bass Clarinets and was like "You guys are the meat of this song"
When they finally got it right, he looked at the rest of the band and said "Okay, we have the meat. Time to put it between the buns!"
It took him about a minute to realize why we were all laughing.

My BD is really bad about making odd analogies. I forget what exactly what we were discussing, but he went off and strated talking about getting somewhere early or somthing like that.
"It's more like you're the first squirell who gets the early nut. Then you have more nuts than the other squirells, and... Where was I going with this again?"
He totally forgot his point in all the rambleing about squirells and nuts.
By the way... How do you spell that anyway? confused

Not an analogy, but my band teacher ALWAYS warns us about the importance of showing up because every member of our teeny-tiny band counts by saying "SAY LITTLE JOHNNY GETS HIT BY A BUS AND CAN'T GO TO THE FESTIVAL. WHAT WILL YOU DO?"
It's even weirder since we have a guy in band NAMED Jon.
