I've got some really good ones from my director (we call them Ragsdale-isms). Luckily for us, he spews this kind of stuff all the time:
"...alot of open mouths, eyes closed action."
"On Friday, we're going to lay those down and put 'Brick House' on top of it."
"Hakuna Matata."
"I want you to suck then blow then swallow it."
"I know nothing."
"The proof is in the pudding."
"Remember, being on time will keep you out of jail."
"He'll write us a big check, but its not about the money."

heh...my band director brought in two new thumb rests for the clarinet section to try out and at the end of practice he yelled out "okay, who has my two squishy things?"
whenever percussion is messing around he likes to make fun of them. if theres a part with a triangle and the person playing it misses the entrance he says "stop playing with your ding a ling and pay attention"...which wasn't all that funny....but the person will turn all red and actually does pay attention the next time

I just remembered a good one... One day she walked into class with a book in her hands. She showed us the book; she said that her friend had gotten it for her so she could read to her son (who was 2 at the time). It was this book:  She looked at us for a moment, then said "You've all seen Austin Powers, Right?". We all nodded. Then, she points to the book, and says "Ok, is it just me or does this guy look like Fat b*****d?" We were dying.

My band director will read random books for us that he finds. Well, he went searching for this one book. (It turned out that there were only six ever made) He finally got one from Texas to borrow and was reading through it. It was written really oddly so whenever he came to words he couldn't read he'd just make up something, like, "And so, if you would like to superflousus trombone to play correct." It was so weeeird! Then he was reading the "LONGEST SENTANCE KNOWN TO MAN-KIND" he tried doing it in one breath and fell over.
Sometimes when he wants the French Horns to blow harder he shouts at them to cover the flutes in spit.
Also, once he was waving his baton around and hit a flute girl and got it caught in her hair. XD

My old director said a lot of funny things. I guess the funniest thing was not what he said, but what he wrote on the board.
"Okay, okay, Stop! You're making the triple forte sound like crap!" *stops and writes on the board: fff uck
"That's right. Uck." *quickly erases the board*
That wasn't word for word, but you get the idea.
"If you see Tigger, scream, I need an adult!"
"I bet every man spiked when they saw Janet's boob."

"Duh, stupid, buy a brain will ya?" then he rolls his eyes

Before school starts we have a new announcement on the T.V. and they play these really stupid songs. And one time he was like, "Hey! If any of you are ever in Brodcasting, don't choose some random 60s song no one has ever heard of."
And today there was a new song and he started making the gutair sound effect and started giggling. o.o
ALSO! He's IN LOVE with scales! He'll tell use he has dreams about them. ANd so a bunch of people in band got these white shirts and wrote on them, "I <3 Scales!" And my teacher spaazzzed. XD

This one time we were watching the DCI bands on a tape someone recorded them on and the one band (can't remember which one) were in the middle of polaying and on this one rest they reached up to their plumes and pulled off a cover that was over them, meking them flare out and be all feathery. Mr. Cavanaugh, Cavi, just randomly yelled from the back of the room (inside the percussion closet might i add),"We need to get us some of those spiffy plume condoms!"
The entire band burst out laughing... we never let him live it down.

Out BD is this short, skinny little redhead woman, in her late 30's. She's usually very quiet and nice...but she has her moments...
This one time, she was explaining something, and one of the clarinet players puts up his hand. She ignores him, and keeps talking. He keeps it there. 5 minutes later: "Dong! put that hand down before I kill you!" There was asort pause. "I mean, in my nice teacher talk, please wait until I've finished you aks your question..."
Then today, the basson player was playing his part, really loud. He attacks the notes really hard, and it's a slow section. After getting a frustrated look on her face, she cuts us off. She then glares at him: "Ben! Maybe if I cut your tongue off you won't use it so much!" a short pause again. "I mean...I don't think that this place is where you should be using a lot of tonguing..."

Well it wasnt really our BD who said it, but he started it. Ya know how the flutes, when they blow and finger, a faint sound comes out kinda? well my BD was talkin bout the music and the flutes were doing that. My BD says, 'Kay flutes, Hurricane Ivan is over." and this one clarinet player who didnt get it, said " Um, i dont think so... I think the alert's still out there..." and she really didnt get it, and the other part of it was that she's in 8th grade. lol blaugh
