Edit: Oops, I didn't see the other tradition thread, so let's alter this one a little bit...
Yeah, my band has some awesome traditions. One involves that seniors go commando underneath their uniforms for their last field tournament. Last time, my junior year, it was raining outside, and we usually change on mats outside of the bus. But, since it was raining, we had to change on the bus, and our chaperones could give a crap if boys are with girls and so on. So there we all are changing on one of the busses together with a temporary little barricade between the two halves, when someone on the girls' side trips and pulls the barricade down with her. Complete silence. Everybody is frozen, eyes staring anywhere but at each other, faces like eek , as one person slowly puts the barricade back up...
Another one involves having certain themes for our Tuesday Night Rehearsals. Such themes like: Glitter Night, Goth Night, etc...
So, one question to go with my entertaining story:
1) I really need some ideas for TNR themes. Any suggestion is welcome. One night we even had Pimp and Ho Night. sweatdrop

On our bus the old Bass Clarinet gave "orgasmic 'massages'" to girls in the back seat of the bus without his pants on...And since he graduated, I have to live up to that reputation...Hehe...
And for Mascots for our sections...We have Mr. and Ms. Low Brass. Steven is Ms. Low Brass and Lacy is Mr. Low Brass. We also have the Low Brass Mobile. And when I can drive, we will have the Low Brass Box-On-Wheels. It's a Scion xB...A better looking Honda Element of sorts...Those are our mascots.

Haha...the name of this thread just cracked me up....
Our band isn't really big with the "naked on the bus" thing....mainly because we're swamped by chaperones, but hey lol...Even though our BD encourages us to just wear underwear beneath our bibbers eek (he's new...so yeah......we were thinking the same thing eek ), I guess that we still prefer to go clothed....what a shame whee
(And by the way...seeing how we already have a band tradition thread, I ask that all who post here keep to the thread title please...if not, I will lock it....We're doing our best to prevent repeat threads here 3nodding )

Oh wow, I wish our band had fun traditions like those. xp Our traditions are story time with Hoffman before halftime, stupid band awards(like most annoying voice, biggest worm-burner, and so on), and getting the director kinky presents when you graduate.
Idea for a theme: Bum night

Dreus Oh wow, I wish our band had fun traditions like those. xp Our traditions are story time with Hoffman before halftime, stupid band awards(like most annoying voice, biggest worm-burner, and so on), and getting the director kinky presents when you graduate. Idea for a theme: Bum night *repeats Skye's warning* Talk about being naked on the bus *chuckles in spite of himself* or go to the other thread. Thems the breaks. wink We don't really make a big deal out of changing on the bus; the auditorium is another story. It doubles as our dressing room for home games. Here's a funny, if rather embarrasing, related story. My freshman year, we were riding home from a contest late one night when this drummer guy I don't like wondered aloud, out of the blue, why there were so many ways to mention to a guy that his fly's down, and which one we (meaning anyone within earshot) prefer. Being in a bit of a crabby mood, I said "You'd think it be easiest just to say ZIP UP YOUR PANTS." That last bit was louder than the rest of the sentence, and a girl toward the front of the bus only heard that last and freaked out a bit.

It's funny that people only pick up on the things you say that just plain sound wrong..hehe...I mean...if you went and said the title of this thread anywhere else on gaia, I can't imagine what kind of responses you would get...but hey now, come to think of it, that's an interesting idea

A couple of people in my band (OHS Marching Scots, we ALL wear kilts!) went commando several years ago. Unfortunately for them, it was unusually windy at that parade... and L noticed.

We don't get the pleasure of changing on the bus. The one pep band relate bus trip we took last year, crammed both bands plus all the cheerleaders into one bus. I wound up sitting half-on-half-off my seat.
On another note . . . Once upon a time we were drill downing and one of the alto saxes said something weird that also sounded really wrong. I just love picking up on conversations when they sound wrong. xp

When we get on the bus, we tend to strip out of our uniforms, but people wear stuff under their uniforms. the guard's the only exception 'cause they can't wear much under those uniforms.

Ah...tradition. In the past few years in my band, we've had worse than people just being naked on the bus, if you catch my drift. Fortunately, these people have found interesting way to hide themselves: blankets, the darkness of nighttime bus rides, letter jackets...you know, whatever they could find.
Really, we don't do that much in the dressing up for rehearsals or anything. The trumpets always get together and we all shake hands a wish for the best (we've got several freshmen this year). As far as "naked" traditions, we just change wherever, though were not supposed to; this usually leads to one of our tubas hiding in our music library with the butt of his pants down and his, er... posterior pointing at the door waiting on an unsuspecting freshman to walk in.
