Welcome to Gaia! ::

We just sometimes just make fun of how bald he is, but he doesn't care.

Oh my god. Inside jokes are what makes marching band marching band. Its not worth it without them. I have soo many...I'll post more if I think of them. You should really read all of these...these are pure gold!

"Just put it in your mouth" Dunno exactly how this one came about...I do belive it had to do with a trumpet player giving oral to another and the guy saying to just put it in your mouth. And the inuendo fits sooo perfectly with band to. I mean come on...90% of the band is putting something in their mouth and blowing, while the other 10% is holding a their wood and banging!


"Ben's Mom Is Hot!" We sometimes say that in our cheers, before we march off to the stadium, ect ect. Long story short, Bens mom is fat and ugly and we get the entire band to cheer is like so.. Person: Bens Mom... Band: Is hot!

"I'm going to shoot something, but don't move." We were on the feild when this one happened. Im not sure how it all went down, but our band director was out on the feild before the final song of our show during band camp practice. She had in her hand, something that shot out confettii and streamers for the last note of the song to get the crowd all wriled up. And I guess she said that to someone she was standing next to. xd

"Hey Sam, want some mustard?" We were at a band festival getting food and I saw that there was a table with condiments on it. With it was a big squeeze bottle of mustard. For some reason, I was reminded of tom greens mustard inspecting, and I dared sam to drink it. So he puts it over his mouth, trying to squeeze it and I decide to help. But as Im squeezing, he freaks out and it wiggles all over, spraying it all over his face. He hit me a couple of times for that one. luckily, no band uniform was stained during this event. And then afterwords, the festival was offering, for $1, happy messages...in which they say something on the big intercom for everyone to hear. And we got them to say "Hey Sam, want some mustard?" and she said it in such a corny way too. It was hillarious. This one is definatly one of my favorates. 3nodding

"1 and 2 and ready and go and..." We were learning our dance moves to the drumbreak at band camp, so they recorded the percussions little ditty for us so we could use it and not have them play it every time. And everytime it would start up, the percussion director would say that...and it was funny.

"Lets play, Tuba Snowsketball!" One of my more recent daring acts. I had the idea of bringing snow into the band room during varsity band. I was gonna set it in our band directors seat, but the room was locked. So I showed the tuba player it and told him what I was gonna do until the door was locked and he was like "Throw it in the tuba!" and so I did...then I got another *Laughs in real life* snow ball and thew it in. It got real cold at the bottom and their was mositure on the outside of the tuba from condenstation. AndSomehow, the mostiure got though every single tube and his 4th valve got stuck. I got so scared I was gonna get in deep trouble. But it all worked out in the end. There was a huge puddle infront of them though...the director didnt notice. xd Then, when he finally got it all settled and dry, some other guy throws another one in there. The player turns the tuba upside down and gets snow all over the floor. It was just great.

"Mrs. Showers is a clown" We had just recived music for entry of the gladiator (Circus song) and started playing it. Someone behind me asked the director if he could send in the clowns...then I add my own peice to get laughs "Mrs. Showers is a clown." And it just so happened that it was an akward silence when I finished. She stared at me and told me to see her after class. I didnt mean for it to be hurtful I was just joking. Turns out that she was just angry at me for talking and not what I said. Still though, I havent been able to live that down. sweatdrop Hopefully, the holidays will calm her down....

"Who keeps putting chocolate milk on my piano?!" I go and eat lunch in the bandroom, even though im technically not supposed to. I sneak the food in with my jacket and eat in there. I never really did like their chocolate milk, so as a prank, I would leave it on the piano for the piano player in jazz band to deal with. He kept getting pissed off at it and it was hillarious. I havent done it to him in a while, when I get back on break...hes totally getting a chocolate milk. 3nodding

"It sounds like a white people church in here." Yes, I am indeed white, which makes it funnier. The teacher was doing chord progressions on the piano...and it just jumped at me to say it. To this day, I have no clue where it came from. It just cracked everyone up. rofl

"Thats not the only thing you would do to sonny rollins..." Said that to my jazz band teacher. Was so freakin hillarious. He was all talking about how Sonny Rollins was going to be down the street from him for thanksgiving and how great it would be if he could get Sonny Rollins in here to direct the jazz band. Cant remember what he said, but the punch line was so gross. xd

"Yes... Vi-a-gra we...love viaaaa-gra" In music theory, we were discussing rythms when we over hear a health class say something about viagra really loud, and we respond by making a rythmn and singing about how we love viagra. It was so great!

"Chair Jousting" We took the day off in Jazz band, and these 4 guys were bored and decided to joust with chairs. One guy would get on the other and lift up his chair to use while the other would neigh like a horse and such. It was so fun to watch, but our Jazz director got soooo mad at us. xd

"It makes me so mad how he can do one thing better than me, but totally suck at everything else!" Little quote by me when I was talking to my friend about this kid in my section. He just sucks at everything, but can roll his tongue while playing...which I havent learned to do. It still to this day frustrates me. evil

"Did you take slow pills this morning? Cuz you are dragging real bad..." I was dragging real bad in a song when my director told me this in varsity band. I was still mad at her for the clown incident and was a thread away from saying "Nah, Im always this slow." But I held my tongue and just said no.

"Is it time for sexuals yet?" Us low brass/woodwind types like to call our sectionals, sexuals. It so easy to say infront of someone and have them not catch it. Its great. 3nodding

"Tuba spin!" They like to do a move called tuba spin, where they spin their bells in a circle. One time during a festival, they did it and were a little too close together. They dented that sucker...it was so bad, it looked like a 4th of it was in the middle of the hole where the bell is. He bent it back the best he could, but the damage is permanant. Which reminds me of another tuba incident in which, a tuba player was spinning in circles and fell on the asphalt right behind me. I felt a gust of wind and heard a huge slam. I turned around and there was a tuba laying flat behind me. "Man down!" One person said. He was bleeding at the knee, but it was just priceless to see. xd

"You suck at playing" Common phrase told to those who aren't doing a good job. Started by my first section leader danny...who told us all we sucked. I love him though...I miss him. He was a senior my freshman year...*sigh*

"I'll make you runs laps until I'm tired No clue where it came from, but its still funny.

"You're all cut! ...except leadership" We were practicing for pregame that night when the percussion director said that. So we had one snare, one quad, one cymbal, one mallet and one bass practicing. It sounded to empty and horrible. Luckily, we found out later that it was a practical joke. A horrible one...but freakin hillarious. Sad thing is, everyone believed him.

Matt, a senior, though he should've graduated last year, (was a junior last year) said earlier this year...
"
Mr. Strain(band director): Matt, play b flat!
Matt: I'm trying to play Bflat
Strain: well you're not trying to play verd hard
Matt: well..shouldn't b flat just "b flat!"
strain: shutup you idiot!

this one kid named fluffels(we call him that because his hair is fluffy and his name is chris and there are too many chris's in band) and he fell asleep in his tuba bell. he stuck his tuba in between his legs and put his head in his tuba bell. I think thats going to turn into an inside joke. my band director was telling us that in music theory because fluffels is in a different band class than I am.


there was also this kid a few years ago that wasn't paying attention becuase he was stareing at the reflection in his tuba. now every time my band director notices that the tubas aren't paying attention he says "stop staring at your reflection in your tubas!"

there was this one stupid kid named josh (he graduated last year). he played sax and tuba. my band director always told him he was going to be the proofreader at the m n' m factory. he never got it. thats what made it so funny!

also, my section leader didn't want to be called tigger but my band director would call her that anyway. the first few days of band last year, he would call her that and she would respond. it was kinda funny but he doen't call her that anymore. she is short so he also tells her to stand up when she is obviously standing up! poor jossy! FLUTES RULE!!!

oh yeah of course the non-jokiest inside joke of my band the entire band refers to me as "His Awesomeness, The Superme Buddha, Robert-Sama"

She always says, "If you don't uncross you legs, I'll cut them off!" Or "Shut your mouth or I'll smack you!"

I also have an inside joke for French. We where learning how to say "Horse back riding" so she made a movement to go with it and it looked like she was humping something. So now when I hear someone say, "Faire de L'equation", i crack up! rofl

It's cowbell happy-time!

My middle school band director also throws tantrums. Or at least screams at us and sweats a heck of a lot. It really must be the job. xD ;

Hmmf...

"Mustachio."

That's the only one I can think of right now. I'm sort of tired. I'll post more later.
