Me: *in H's office, looking for music to make copies for our contralto clarinet*
H: *walks in to get his baton* Oh, there you are. Looking for music?
Me: Yep. Jordan forgot hers.
H: Carry on, then.
*five minutes later*
Me: *finally gets to sit back in my section*
H: HEY. WHY AREN'T YOU TUNING THE TIMPANI? I SAID FIVE MINUTES AGO THAT WE'RE PLAYING CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL.
Me: ...I was in your office finding Jordan's music, remember?
H: Oh, right. Uh...can you make copies of second trombone and baritone for the other band's songs for me?
Me: ...don't yell at me for not playing this time because IT'S YOUR FAULT.

Choir directors are officially horrible at being band diretors. Every band director knows not to use humans as demonstrations. Choir directors do not.
So yes, it was all heer fault that the entire Wind symphony left the band room laughing our heads off at rehearsal monday night.
BD: Alright, lets do a chord demonstration. I need four volunteers.
*Both sax sls, the bari sax and the flute sl volunteer. BD lines them up in a line. Order: Josh, Callie, Sean, Meghan. girl, boy, girl, boy. Bad diea.*
BD: Good. This demonstrates a major/major chord. Joosh is 1, Callie is 3, sean is 5 and Meghan is 7. To make it a major/minor chord, we have to lower the 7th note. So Meghan, on your knees.
*This is alright sending giggles around the band. Think abotu it: Guy standing with a girl kneelign next to him*
BD: To make it a (ignore how I forgot the name of the chords), you have to also lower the 3rd.
*Entire band erupts int laughter.*
BD: You guys are perverse-_- Now, to make a (forgot), we have to lower the 5th.
Josh: Yes!
BD: Now, to make it a (yadayada), you have to once more lower the 7th. Meghan, lay down.
*Hilarity ensues*
BD(angry): OK fine, lets try this again. switch spots.
(This part is more of a funny bandmate thing. Background story: First day of bandcamp, Callie passed out.)*New order: Meghan, Josh, Sean Callie*
BD: 7th kneel.
*does so. BD explains*
BD: 3rd down.
*once again laughter, but not as bad*
BD: 5th down
*yeahyeah*
BD: 7th, lay down.
Marshall: Gee, just like band camp.

"When the boom booms do the beginning of the fight song it's choom choom, choom choom, chooooom choom choom." -Mr. Vela
Actually... sweatdrop Never heard him say that but it was on my clarinet friend's facebook.
Here's one from my Color Guard teacher (He's got loads more funny sayings, the cymbals want to make a book of his sayings called "Tomisms" since his name is Tom. LOL.)
"YOU KNOW THAT LADY THAT WENT POSTAL CAUSE SHE WANTED HER CHICKEN NUGGETS?!?! I FEEL HER PAIN!!!" -Tom
LMAO the other day he had told us about the drivethru lady who went crazy cause they wouldnt give her chicken mcnuggets, and he was pissed off because people werent marching right...

Like a week ago our band teacher was telling us what happened with the 7th & 8th grade band (I'm in the highschool band) and well he's telling us the they were having an F-Off. Most of the band members had started laughing at this becasue what he had meant was that it was meant as like a Flute off and to shorten it he said F-Off.
Another one is where our teacher was telling us about his cat Mr.Skittles who he had to get rid of. Well my teacher said he wanted to get a cat, and that is wife didn't like cats that much, but was letting him get one. He went to go to the animal shelter, and when he get to the cat section he stepped in and all the cats just sat there except for mr. skittles who came up and started meowing at him. Well they took him home, and that cat ended up being like tons of trouble.
One time my teacher found him ontop of the table with his whole body inside the bag. Well the only thing the cat did was look back with like a look that said "that's right I got me some potatoe chips, and you can't do nothing about it."
And then there was another time where the cat would only come to my teacher, and never his wife, and he said that the cat was basically homosexual.
Yeah that's all I have for right now.

Hartmetz: I finally got around to watching the first two episodes of the new season of Doctor Who!
Me: Finally! Wait...The new one starts in a few weeks. And the Christmas special is ON CHRISTMAS for once!
Hartmetz: I can't wait. But I don't have cable so I have to wait for Netflix to get it.
Katie [drum major]: *walks up* Ooh, what're you talking about?
Hartmetz: You don't watch Doctor Who, do you?
Katie: ...no.
Hartmetz: You're not cool enough to know what we're talking about.
Katie: Nooo!
---
Me: Some students of *other teacher*'s wonder how I'm so sarcastic if I never had her. We're almost the same person, it's kind of weird.
Hartmetz: Gee, I can't imagine where you got that influence from.
Me: I have absolutely no idea! It's not like I've lived with my sarcastic dad for the past seventeen years, and dealt with you for five, and have *best friend* for a best friend or anything. xd
Hartmetz: Nope, not at all. lol
Me: Surprisingly, you have the same sense of humor as my dad, except you're actually funny.
H: rofl

My friend grabbed my gloves and started playing with them and trying to walk out the door with them. I try to take them back and he keeps them away.
Director: You two, pick up that chair for horsing around!
Me: He was trying to steal my glove.
Director: Well your glove was appealing for him to steal! YOUR FAULT!
Good Times...

There was this time where he was going to tell us a story and he'd told us stories of him and people where the ended up being smokers, and he got stuck in the middle alot. Well he was telling us back when he was in band camp that he had this girlfriend and she was the clingy type, who made him go have dinner with her family all the time. One day he said I have to go have dinner with my family now.
Then she said "you'd come have dinner with me if you loved me." Well he ended up going and having dinner with her. After he said he broke up with her right before band camp, because she was too clingy, and that she was all moppy afterwards always crying and looking at him like come back to me.
Well then he said he started college and that he got a phine call from his mom. His mom was asking him
Mom: "Guess where your old girlfriend is working now?"
Band teacher: "Where?" He asked very caustiosly
Mom: "At a striperrs club."
After he told us that the class busted out laughing saying he turned his old girlfriend into a stripper for him breaking up with her.
