When people talk all the time
When our berry bass clarionet had to take like 10-30 min on parts that are sooo easy.
When all the other flutes but like 3 can't even play 16th notes

1.When we stop right before the best part in the piece.
2.The coolest part in a piece is the lows but the stupid clarinets, trumpets, and flutes (maybe some altos) are covering up the awesomeness that is the low section.
3.When some inconsiderate member of the band hits into your horn giving it a dent (someone gave my strad a nice dink on the bell).
4.When people don't seem to understand how awesome band is.

When jerks who think their Gods gift play excerpts for warm-ups everyday!
When jerks play excerpts before concerts and the excerpts AREN'T IN THE PROGRAM!
seriously! people who play excerpts either mess them up and look like they need to practice, or they look like they're showing off when they play them well. It annoys the hell out of me.

((I agree with bandgeekus with the stopping right before the best part of the piece))
1. The louder instruments like the trumpets ((No offense, that's just our band . . . they're a bunch of pervish guys)) play louder to show off, when obviously they're already the loudest one in our band. They make it hard to hear my awesome xylophoning and drumming lol
2. When you've been perfecting a solo of yours and you have it just right, but when you're performing, you mess it up
3. When people are talking during your solo, just because it's not their turn
4.When you're doing great in the concert, and suddenly your drumstick flys out of your hand in the middle of the song

lol I have a lot.
-When people don't do proper 6 for 5 during this one part of pregame that is super fast (240 bpm). I know it's hard but still...they mess it up for everyone behind them.
-Marching next to percussion. ow my ears
-When people don't put any effort into their high step
-When people don't put any effort into memorizing their music (there was this one girl who NEVER memorized pregame and just sat it out all season)
-Diagonal high step. hate it soooooooo much ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
-When the upperclassmen are rude to freshmen. I'm not a freshman, it just bothers me.
-When they water the field so you can't sit down/put stuff on the ground
-That all the other bands in our conference suck so much (especially this one band that only ever plays three songs and are really rude and arrogant, other college ppl probably know who)
-When cameramen get in your way and mess up the formations
-Guest "conductors" who just bring their baton down w/o warning
-The zippers on our jackets. They zip down instead of up for some unfathomable reason
-Whatever those pants with straps are called, overalls or something. We have them and I don't like them. You have to take your jacket off to go to the bathroom.

I can't stand it when:
â—˜ There's that one obnoxious person who gets bribed by their parents to play in band, and they always end up interrupting rehearsal.
â—˜ The BD stops the music at your favorite part.
â—˜ You get a piece to perfection then end up messing it up at the performance
â—˜ Your instrument squeaks, drops, or mess up then everyone stares at you.
â—˜ People don't take care of their instruments properly, especially when it's not theirs.

I hate it when;
-Someone who is obviously not capable is allowed to conduct a piece that we are playing.
-When only one person in the entire section decides they need to use vibrato. And it's off pitch.
-When someone can't play a minor second and tries to make it 'pretty'.
-Mostly just a general dislike for every person who can't follow simple directions and forces the director to repeat themselves a million times on something simple that should have only been said once.

I have some that do with band.
1) When I have to play like 1-6 measures to fix another section.
2) When the Drum line gets too loud when they are suppose to play p*8 of them and only 6 low brass so the have to stay somewhat quiet*
3) When the trumpet section gets louder than the low brass in the one song we have that features our section.
4) Mid-state practices after school stressed

I hate when my pit plays incessantly. Sometimes it's the show music (but without a metronome so they practice it wrong or with wrong notes or whatever), and sometimes it's random songs they know like the Portal Endsong or Zelda themes or whatever else they know.
Drives me crazy cause they don't know the whole show and can't play it all in time...and the last day of camp is TOMORROW.

I hate it when someone plays a sour note and blames it on the person next to them!

ParkNo-Ah I hate it when; -Someone who is obviously not capable is allowed to conduct a piece that we are playing. Hahaha. We have a lot of guest "conductors" like that, but it's not too bad since they always conduct our fight song, and we all know the tempo already. This week we had a guy doing all kinds of swirly sideways motions with the baton. I had to play with my eyes closed because if I looked at him it would make me laugh. Somewhat related...I hate when our director yells at us to watch and then uses REALLY SMALL hand motions to conduct. And of course I'm always behind a bunch of sousaphones so I can't see him anyway.

When people touch the bass drum and gong. Especially with the wrong mallets (EX: Bass drum hit with a GONG mallet and the gong hit with a freaking drum stick.) scream
When people kneel/sit on the track/dirt with their uniform on.
