Welcome to Gaia! ::

we try our hardest to have bad wisconsin accents cuz wisconsin rules

-Whenever we play really pathetically, our band director calls it "mezzopansyish"

-Some of the sections have a mascot. The trumpets have "Ishmal" a yoda doll that talks whenever people are in the room, and they all run around with plastic light sabers.

-The flutes(my section) have the newly created "Aulo the flying raccoon" whose name comes from the word "Aulophobia" which means "fear of flutes." (it's an actual phobia too!)

-The Clarinets have "Space Monkey" as their mascot. During band camp, one of the sax players kidnapped Space Monkey and to get him back, all the clarinets had to sing the "Rubber Ducky Song" at the band camp talent show

-The Saxs have a rubber ducky as their section mascot. They had their mascot stolen one year, so they all wore custom-made shirts to school one day that said S.T.D. on them. (save the duck) mad D

-At games when we do our cheer, sometimes my friends and I change the words. It's supposed to be "Sa-lem! Sem-min-noles!" but we say "Sa-lem! Cin-na-mon Rolls!" instead. rofl

o and "Don't Pull an Eisenbart."

one of the susaphones during a competition fell down because the judge accidently tripped him. Of you watch you'll see all the tubas in a horizontal line and all of a sudden one just drops out. It was very funny.

SO now we say don't pull an Eisenbart.

1. "HI GUYS!" It started one day, in first period band, Alex walked in and went "HI bandies!" and we just stared. The next day, she did it again and everyone went "HI ALEX!" You had to be there...

2. Randomly, I yelled out "Ameba!" durning band practice...i was hyper.... xd

3. Whenever the drummers mess up the cadence really badly or all of them are off beat Mrs. H will get down on her knees and look up. Its funny. XP

4. Jennifer, during sectionals....right after lunch......she has one serious buzz....like, way hyper......more hyper than me! whee

5. "TRACE!~" One of the drummers.....when he has the bass drum part....oh, its really funny.

Im sure theres more, but i cant think of them now.

omg. I just remembered this one... my freshmen year, our little band was playing at the basketball game and the trumpet player's mom comes to give him money and she tells him "Good luck and.... uhh... umm.... keep ur thing up!" lol. So we all got a laugh out of that one...

Another one is "if we crash and burn, tuck and roll."

This one is one of the best... We were playing Darth Vader's theme and the 2 clowns of the class made "Dark and Cuddly." So we all imagined a Darth Vader Plush Toy... With a pink cape... lol.

Hero Of Time Stole a lot of mine, but I have more.... ^^

1.) Why are there no clouds? At band practices, even it has been cloudy all day, there tend to be no clouds in the sky whatsoever. We blame it on our director, who knows God.

2.)He called God! Yeah, it was raining before practice. This was amazing, since, it never rains when we have practice. (If it does, the director tends to be gone, sick, or not into practicing band that day) So, the band is all, "I guess there isn't practice today, huh Rowser?"
Yeah right.
He went into his office, made a phone call, and five minutes later there wasn't a cloud in the sky.

3.) Awwww, the Easter Bunny doesn't love you... Our director was telling us about how he forgot to put out the Easter eggs for his youngest daughter and how he had ot distract her while sneaking eggs all over the place. Then, the assistant band director goes, "hmph! Only people that are loved get eggs--I'd never do that!" Then, one of the percusions makes this odd gasp/sob sound and the assistant directore goes, "You didn't get any eggs Mitch? Awwww, the Easter Bunny doesn't love you...."

4.) Courage--go buy some. We had competition coming up and our director, in a modivational speech said, "So, if you are scared, now's the time to back out. Or you could stay in and buy some courage. You can get it at Target--it's in the pestiside section..."

Here's some off the top of my head...there are way to many inside jokes to list them all.

1.) "If you believe, the door will open!" "I believe! I believe! Open you (&*^*(&&)(* door!" After Jeffco Competition it was near 11 on a school night and we were all waiting fro Mr. Sullivan to unlock the door. The things you do when you're tired!

2.) "Hips Back, Tummies Flat, Don't lean back-Zack!" Our marching instructor Robbie would yell it every time we moved....and Zack never leaned back after that.

3.) "SHUT UP SHANE!" Enough said....

4.) "Ooooh, loOk aT tHe BuTterflY!!!"

5.) Manchester United.
