I have a couple...
I once used my bassoon as a "message in a bassoon" to pass between my friend and I. We got caught of course and the note was all about how cranky our BD was being.
I used my bassoon to get the cases of the flute players, i then put them in the back of the room. The bassoon player next to me got caught and was almost kicked out of band.
My percussion director told me to play louder and everything. When we were in the middle of our piece, i guess i hit the xylophone really hard because it broke off and hit a girl in the head. It was really funny though....

Well I found out that if you take the head peice off of the flute and blow into the other 2 peices like a bazoka, it sounds like a dying animal! You can accutally play like that too! My bd caught me doing it and gave me a talk about caring for my flute properly. And also like to twirl my flute like a baton. It does not work. It usually flies away from me and breaks in some way ^_^;;
Here's another one.
My best friends brother is a clarinet person-thingy and one time during band he set his clarinet down and knocked it over. It hit the stand and made a load ringing noise. He picked it up and a little while later he did the exact same thing again XD It was hilarious. Well besides the fact that it broke....but that's ok! sweatdrop

Kommandant Wiesel Kommandant Wiesel Hey. Here you can tell people the silliest or most interesting thing that you or someone else has ever done with an instrument! For instance, if your band director threw a drumstick at a lazy trombonist last year (he missed), post it here! I've not done this yet, but I plan to take a picture of myself wearing a sousaphone... then animate it firing lasers like the Death Star. xp Additionally, and I'm sure that every sousaphonist has done this at some point, I've put the bell just over peoples' heads multiple times and blasted like a foghorn. whee I did this to a trumpet player in middle school that was making fun of me!! It was so funnny!

My friend found out that if you take the head joint off the flute and buzz into it like brass, then it makes this sound that sounds like a fart. So he did this really immature thing, he stole my flute (He's a trumpet player) and he buzzed into it when this girl was taking her chair test. She stopped playing and turned beet red, it was HILARIOUS!

Once when our director was out of the room i wanted to see how for I could stick my hand into the bell of my baritone. Well, my hand got stuck in it. When the he came back he saw my arm in the bell and everyone else trying to pull my arm out. I had to skip a period for the time to get it out. sweatdrop

My band director was conducting and everyone was playing, but two clarinetists were giggling and not properly playing. So my band director smacked the two of them with a drumstick, it was hilarious because I heard a loud THUMP from both of them.

in eighth grade during marching band (i joined marching band a year early cause i had a sis in it too) the trumpets blew into the bottoms of the valves like a flute. you can press the valves to change the pitch. we played songs together whenever our chops died.

I remember the time I put my headjoint straight on my footjoint (no body). You can make 10 out-of-tune notes like that if you have a B footjoint! wink
