The percussionists tried to break dance......with the quads and bass drums on. It was pretty funny to watch.

Clarinets and Flutes: Act like your instument is a sword, get into "sword fights"... lol... this works really well with some marching shows too like Civil War themes or Echos of Camelot.
Clarinets: Pretend that your instrument is a gun (like a bazuka (lol I do this in class sometimes)) it's really funny to see people who understand's faces when you pretend to shoot them.
Lome heart

Take off the head joint on the flute but have the two other parts connected, use the Ab key as a trigger and aim at random people.Flutes also make great imaginary lightsabers and swords. xd

Mello-phony Our section leader taught us to knit, and we all took the scarves we knit and shoved them into our mellos, and when we had to play we'd complain that the sound wouldn't come out. Then the director came over and said, "Why is there no mello sound?" and we said, "There's something in our instrments!" So by the time he got done pulling scarf after scarf from our mellos, he could barely stand he was laughing so hard. Or we take the paper cups we get water in at football games and shoot the cups from our bells. Only the mellos can, Trombone is too long, Baritone's bell is too big, and trumpet too small. We shot the drum majors and gaurd and each other. It was the best! Our head drum major borrowed my friend's flute, named "El Crappo" and used it as a baton for a run-through once. It was great. lol thats hilarious!

Zanderic I'm new but I have lots of interesting things from my two bands. In my cadet marching band we have a barry sax and have discovered to flutes fit down the bell at once. Also we put the barry sax on the smallest kid.. it was almost as tall as her... I personaly have a few interesting trumpet mouth piece stories. I got it stuck at cadets and two officers played tug-a-war with my trumpet... Got it stuck AGAIN and had to take it to my school band teacher who got the screw stuck on top of the already stuck mouthpice and I had to go get the janitor to remove that.. Can't remember any other ones at this momet but I know there were alot more.. my bands are.. er odd... all bands are odd thats hilarious

Uh... Baritones + marshmallows = band director FLIPPING OUT
Stupid saxophones thought it was funny. For April's fools day trumpets stuck fake dog poo onto the drums. It was pretty funny though.

My band director has ("accidentally") thrown his baton at the drummers a few times.
The clarinets in our band like to get into lightsaber fights.
The drummers tend to drop their sticks....during parades.

Our trombonists (whom we all like to call "tromboners") sat on each other's shoulders, stuck their slides in the extended position and held them up in the air on the practice field during a surprise thunderstorm.

Oh yeah, immature clarinetests like to put the clarinet on their shoulder, bell facing out, and pretend it's a bazooka. Or pretend it's a flute and get the flute section very very POd. L0l

I take my flute and the little lip onthe mouth piece and 'hang/balence' it on my music stand. Also, during marching band, the first row of flutes (We are the first row in the whole band) we have to lift our flutes up so everyone can cover down. And we had to do it during a thunderstorm! heh! xd

One flute player in our band had his foot joint fall off during a gig.(It then did it again during marching practice one day.)
