Two years ago, we made our director a bet that he would dye his hair pink if we got Superior at states...this year we made it.
Phil: Hey, uh, Hartmetz...you gonna have time to go to the party store or Rite-Aid or something this weekend? Hartmetz: Phil, I already told you we have no time to pick up a last minute costume for you, you should have done that already-- stare Phil: No, that's not what I mean, H... Everyone on the bus: PINK HAIR. PINK HAIR. PINK HAIR. Hartmetz: ... rolleyes *answers his cellphone and walks off the bus* Everyone: BOO.
...I still don't know if his phone actually rang or not.

BD: You guys don't really like the songs you hear. You only like them because people on the radio tell you you like them. They will play this song OVER and OVER again every 10 minutes, then the 3rd time, someone will call and say "OMG I LOVE THIS SONG" thats how you like it.
Then, those songs are really just crap. They have a board of people make up repeating lyrics and write a song for someone. Then give it to beyonce who does the dance.
-BD Does Beyonce's dance. With the pop, shove it, shove it and stuff...-

When we were playing a piece with a really slow tempo, my high school band director would say, "Think of it like stripper music!" Although it was a bit strange, it worked every time. rolleyes

my directors are really wierd... I have this boba fett shirt that I sometimes wear to school, and one of our directors says really loud, "Hey Boba, how's it goin?" lol, but during the marching band season one of my other directors (we have 3) will tell us to reset one set go, but on occasion he adds meow to the end of it... He will also randomly say 'how now brown cow' or 'brown chicken brown cow' and other really wierd stuff...

LOL, my band teacher has said SO MUCH stuff that is either inappropriate of just plain funny!
My friend Sydney asked him about circular breathing and in such a casual tone, he was like, "Yeah, it's just suck and blow, suck and blow."
Another time, it wasn't really something he said, but my friend Grace said that her brother would run his hand down the band teacher's chest whenever he walked by just to freak him out. Also, whenever they were playing and the band director would walk by him, he'd put his arm around him and stroke his face. The band director then was like, "What are you doing??" and he'd respond with, "Pshh I'm playing my trumpet, what are you doing?"
What's also funny is when my friends and I talked about pregnant women during class.
Also, with the calendar, someone erased "Tuesday" and wrote in "Sweden" and it's amusing when they draw pictures on the board.

So, jazz band tryouts are next week at my school. I'm usually the only one who trys out for vibraphone. I still need the tryout piece, though. Looking through the music that was out, it was all wind stuff...
Me: Hartmetz, where's the vibes tryout piece? H: I don't have it, come back after school. Me: ...by your judgment of time, I should just come back tomorrow. H: I won't be here tomorrow. Me: Fine, after school.
So I come back after school...
Hartmetz: *sees me through his office window, gets an expression of 'ohshit I forgot'* Me: *enters the band room* Hartmetz: NO. GO AWAY. I DON'T HAVE IT. Me: I TOLD YOU. So the tryouts are next week and I'm not getting the piece until Monday? That's fair. :l H: ... Me: Then again, it's not really like I have competition anyway...maybe I'll actually learn the piece this year just in case, 'cause Shinyuu wants to make jazz band on piano and might try out for vibes if she doesn't get piano. Hartmetz: ...go away. stare
I actually owned my director, it was amazing xD

During marching season this year, my band director was talking to the trumpets about their horn angles. He was showing them how he wanted them to angle their trumpets up, and he used his arm to demonstrate. He lifted his arm up in an perfect Hitler salute and we all cracked up.

Hartmetz: *talking to a sophomore about dumb things and then she actually gets to her point of talking to him* Ben: Hartmetz I need you to--- Hartmetz: Ben, I'm kind of...in the middle of talking to someone, seriously. :l Me: ...Hartmetz, I still need jazz band tryout music from you. Hartmetz: I haven't exactly had time, we've kind of...been in class. Ben: Oh you let HER interrupt talking to Haley. e_e Hartmetz: Ben, I'm still talking, wait. I'll write you a pass for Titan Time, chill out. Me: lol owned.

Oh Jeez. Chief has said countless hilarious things. Like one time I was in a bet and I couldn't laugh at anything perverted and one day we were in the band room rehearsing our marching band show and he's like.."No no NO, it has to be a big fat round one!" So there's my friend red in the face trying to hold in her laughter..I was already trying to hold it in. Yeah, I lost that bet ^.^.''

Well one day we were practicing and our drumline leader (at least I think that is who he said it to) was getting off beat a bunch, so our director said "You're supposed to be the leader. You're leading us nowhere but to DOOM." It was great!! We all cracked up for the longest time! xd

At rehearsal the other day, before pregame: Director: I notice that a lot of you are getting tired by the end of pregame. You need to not be tired. Band:...OH OKAY. rolleyes
He says this kind of thing a lot, come to think of it...like after a game in 100 degree weather: "I could tell you guys were dying out there...what's wrong with you?! You're young people, you're not smoking two packs a day. Don't give me this IT'S HOT or I'M TIIIIRED crap. I'VE RUN MARATHONS."

i dont know where to begin. lol. well i remember one time last year a t band camp where we were doing 8 to 5 for marching and the front row was all girls. one line was uneven so he was like: "JOE! get in the estrogen line!!" Joe: "the estrogen line, sir?" BD: "THE LINE WITH ALL THE GIRLS IN IT!!!" xD
then this year he got mad at us and threw something yellow onto hos "big, important directors stand" (as we call it) and it bounces wicked high into the air, hits the flute player's stand next to mine and lands in my lap. I don't know what the hell it is... so i scream and throw it half way across the room. And he goes: "Katie, chill! It's just my stress cheese." xD he has this stress ball thats in the shape of a cheese. and we all gave him weird looks... so he said, "it's for when you guys drive me crazy. " It was weird yet funny cuz i flipped out at nothing.
then, there was the time he threw a marker on the ground, threw a pencil at the low brass, and lets not forget the stories he tells about his little girl. They're hilarious. You would need to be there.
he doesnt really say this, but... we make fun of him and the other band directors in the area.
like our band director is Raymonous Prime. The other highschool has the Hoovenator. And our band directors brother is the Raymonator. quite funny.

"HEY F___HEAD, THE BOMB IS IN MY OTHER POCKET."
Our director, to the security people at the stadium (fortunately I don't think they were within earshot). lol. ...guess he was annoyed that they checked all of us after the "bomb threat" last week (which turned out to be some weights taped together a trainer had left there).
