There are a lot of funny things my band director has said...so I can't really remember them. Here's one that isn't so funny: You can't be normal, you're in band. (She told us once that all band students were abnormal and strange, not retarded or anything, just strange) And then my old band director from elementary school once told us this story about him breaking his baton in his jean butt pocket in half when he sat down in the car..the way he told it was funny.

Our band director has tons of funny sayings, but here's one from yesterday: "I like to use the KISS method. Keep It Simple, Stupid." ^_^ here's another: "Band people are smart. People who aren't in band aren't as smart as us. Give a person your instrument and tell them to march on the filed, 'Well, i can't do that!' Then take a rest, dummy!" ^_^ he's hilarious sometimes! xp

We have extremely warm uniforms and @ games we always try to take them off early. Well, at one game we got in trouble and our bd yelled at us saying, "Dont undress untill Byron (assistant) says to!" We were like...oh so Byron has to tell us to undress?

We were playing "Symphony #4 Finale" last Monday at full band. It's really fast with tons of runs that kill the fultes and clarinets. At 94 the fultes and clarinets have a bunch of eight-sixteenth notes and the whole band is supposed to get soft and creshendo. Well, the low brass and woodwinds weren't doing a great job. His response: "Don't ba a stubborn Susie!"
We get a kick out of Mr. L. making the marcotto (^ ^) marks with his hands. He leans over and bounces and it's just funny.
In middle school we were playing "Ode to Joy" and our saying for this song was "varisertisering." Mr. D. got a kick out of it everytime.

On Monday, my friend had this pink balloon on her stand. Our director walked by and gave us this weird look. When we were done playing the song he walked by and gave us another weird look. When he came back he said "You know, that balloon there is just like someone sticking their bare foot out. I just wanna reach out and tickle it." We were just like neutral yeah... xd

Our director says a lot of funny stuff.
Ms. Hall: (to me) "David, you have to play that as like a response to what the French Horns play. They are Romeo, you are Juliet."
1st chair French Horn: (also to me) "Hey baby."
Me: gonk
I'm a guy, which makes it more embarrassing.
Also, in November, I came to school in crutches after my leg was cut open. I met my band teacher in the hall, and she asked what I had done. I told her, and she replied: "Well, cheer up. At least it wasn't your lips."
