So today we had after school practice for band and we are arranged so that the horn section (me and two other people) sit in front of the low brass. Anyway I heard them plotting something and then I saw one of the trombonists walk up next to this clarinet guy with his slide spray stuff. He pretends to sneeze and squirts the bottle right when he does to give the impression he spewed all over the guy. The clarinet guy practically jumped out of his skin and didn't even realize the trombone guy was standing right there next to him with the spray bottle behind his back. It was f-ing HILARIOUS!!!!
So now my question is if anyone else has had these kinds of experiences happen to them or if they pulled one on someone else.
[P.S. the clarinet guy wasn't upset with the trombonist or anything. He was a good sport about it once he realized what had happened smile ]

Band pranks are the best.
This year at band camp we seniors decided we wanted to prank our band director reeeeeeeal good.
Now, our school has a history of doing things without telling anyone, so we wanted to take advantage of that and make our director think the school had started a new project.
So on the biggest day of band camp, the day before we perform the show for the first time, we all met at the practice field hours before band was to start with for huge poles and a huge roll of caution tape.
We went to the middle of the field, made square out of the poles then wrapped the tape around it.
A few hours later when the band arrived at the school our director was FREAKING out, and, of course, we freaked out too because he couldn't know it was our fault!
We told him one of us called our parents, who informed us the the school was going to start working on leveling out the ground.
It was hilarious until an underclassmen eavesdropped and told him the truth.
result!

Our BD chose to be out of school on April Fool's Day lol! So we went and switched everything in the bandroom around... we moved his podium and tuner to the back of the room and then moved the percussion instruments to the front of the room. Then chairs and stand were moved around as well... the room looked a mess!
..... So when monday came around... we were all in the band locker room hanging out and our BD walked into the locker room and looked at us then said "Frickin' har de har har.... you are changing it back after school .....right?" to which we all had to nodd and say yes... because if we didn't..... we would be killed lol

Well my not so funny prank wasn't much of a prank. Our bd took over after our old bd left, but she was orginally choir director an still is. Well, she tends to leave a mess in the band room. One day, she asked one of our tuba players to clean up HER mess. So, a bunch of us helped him and stuck it all in her choir room office and distributed random stuff throughout her choir room. I don't think she ever realized. The funnier one: My school has this 10 minute rule. If a teacher fails to show up 10 minutes after the bell rings, students are allowed to elave without being marked absent or tardy. As a band, we made a point of upholding this rule. Our old bd made a point of torturing us by coming 9 minutes late to every rehearsal. One time, he actually was late on accident. 10 minutes passed, and as a band we decided to play a prank on him. we knew he would show up, cause eh always did. Our band hall is shaped weird because of our connected auditorium, kinda like a trophy cup with a base. So we all crowded into one of the nooks where we couldn't be seen from any parking lot. Every single member of the band was there. Well hidden too. ( My darawing of it) (my drawing is really bad lol.) Well, he came around the flat part of the "trophy" and came upp behind us. We were all watchign towards the parking lot, so when he came up and said soemthing we all jumped lol. Nobody knows how he knew we were there. (Next time, I'm suggesting hiding between the buildings lol)

We got a new BD my junior year. He replaced a very well known highly respected and much adored man who took a job with the district. The new BD was his first year out of college (so....24?). The ultimate in geek he tried so hard to get us to like him but those of us that stuck it out with him tormented him...here are some of my favorites
If he asked us to play anything other than Louie, Louie....we played Louie, Louie....if he asked us to play Louie, Louie we played the Bb scale.
We taped him into his office,taped over all the windows in his office, tied the doors to his office together so he couldn't get in
hung soda cans from the light fixtures,took all his office supplies and hung them from the ceiling,
strung Christmas lights through all the Sousas and drums,
valve-oiled the door knobs so he couldn't get out of the closets
hid all the uniforms (marching, performance AND choir since he was the choir director as well)....
He survived for three years after I graduated before the district cut music for our school, he also lightened up and started issuing payback.

so this one was funny but kinda gross
a trumpet player steals salt shakers from the cafeteria and one time the tuba player was gone so he spit in his mouth piece than put a layer of salt again and again until there was a nice layer of salt. than for some reason a baritone player had hemorrhoid cream so that goes on the mouth piece also and than the extra needed part the baritone player also had WD40 so he sprayed it inside the part where you put the mouth piece so every time he took a breath he got a wiff of WD40. The Tuba player took 20 mins to clean out his mouth piece and ended up with a headache because of the WD40 so he swore vengeance against the 2, I'm so lucky I didn't get involved because I don't have a lock on my locker.

well the original post reminded me of this...
we have a halloween party every year and each section dresses up as a theme and does a skit. example: this year the guard was charlies angels with a nerdy wannabe following them and they had to protect a sousaphone from getting killed (because a few week before halloween one of our tubas got run over. i mean the instrument not the person haha) and they had to resolve the conflict with a dance battle...yeah they get kinda crazy. ANYWAYS last year the clarinets were alice in wonderland. at one point during the skit (which was too long btw...) the 2 guys who were the mad hatter and...the other guy (sorry i'm a freak and don't like alice in wonderland) slowly mad their way behind the rest of the band to the table where the bd, guard coach, her kids, and the dm were sitting, went behind them, and just stood there a while. idk about anyone else, but i didn't even notice them go behind there. so then, when nothing was happening in the skit, we all hear this "aahh...ahhhhh!....AHH CHOO!!!" from behind us and its the 2 guys and they're covering our bd's and dm's heads with silly string!!!! smile it was quite amusing. i think they tried to do something like it again this year, but it kinda failed. sadness sad

The only prank we've ever done was on our director. He was absent on April Fool's Day, so we completely REVERSED the room. Everything that was on the left was now on the right, front was in the back, etc. We wrote, "HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S!" or something on the board. It was really funny. It was on a Friday, too, so he didn't see it until the next Monday. Haha.
And one time at band camp, we had to do the stupid "Hey Joe!" dance thing, and our bari sax player went to sit down afterwards, but someone pulled the chair away. xD He fell flat on his back and the director yelled, "Is the horn okay??" And the bari player replied, "Yeah. My body cushioned it's fall." Ohman. Our pranks.

Every four years, the band seniors do a prank. This was my freshman year and it was time for them to do it again.
I was an alto sax at this time, and we had this one crazy part that nobody could play well except for one of the seniors. Well one day, we all met up at the field and a few seniors were missing. They showed up halfway through rehearsal and started slacking off and disobeying set rules (no flipflops on the field, keep your shirt on, etc.).
Our band director got REALLY mad. We started to ask the seniors what they were doing and they were just ranting about how they were sick of band. Eventually, our band director told them to get their stuff and leave. One of the band moms pulled up her car. They came down with their suitcases (we were at away camp) and all of the other band seniors went into a frenzy, trying to get them to stay, trying to get our band director to calm down.
Eventually, we were made to turn around while the seniors yelled at each other and our band director looked like he was going to have a heart attack. We were freaking out. We heard car doors slam and drive off, and then our band director told us to turn back around...
There were the seniors, armed with squirt guns and water balloons.

My friend....At my gym class she brought a sharpened pencil and a ketchup packet. So she went up to my P.E. teacher and said "Wanna see something cool". Then she held the pencil conceiling the ketchup in her hand up to her nose covering the nostrils completely, Then she silently popped the ketchup packet and let it spread all over my face. Then she acted like it hurted and dropped the pencil. My P.E. teacher freaked out. And they made her go home early. she didn't get in trouble cause they never belived me. BEST PRANK EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…

Every year when marching season starts and we're putting on our uniforms for the first time that year, we play a prank on the freshmen and new band people. When they come out to get their plumes to put on their helmets we tell them your plume is on backwards and they automatically take off their helmets to look at it. They pull it off turn it around and ask if it is correct. We automatically start laughing saying there is no such thing as your plume being backwards there is no difference! blaugh We also tell them to check their pockets on their pants to see if they're sticking out. But clearly there are no pockets.

Last year at band camp we (the girls room) decided to prank the boys. It was pretty lame really. We were going to take handfulls of confetti, run into their room and throw it in their faces. Unfortunately, the chaperones told the boys what we were going to do, so they were ready with MASS bottles of shaving cream. I don't think there was anyone who didn't get hit. Some of the girls were kill-joys though. They were all throwing fits and getting pissed off. Really?! If you're going to prank 35 boys, you should really expect a retaliation. rolleyes
