Welcome to Gaia! ::

omg lmao! the band 10 commandments.

thou shalt never play louie louie more than 2 verses.

On his/her birthday,(over) decrate the band room with streamers, and should you run out countion tape, get baby pic. of him/her(if they show his/her bare but, even beter) and hang them thruogh out the band room and the band hall. then make a HUDGE banner saying HAPPY (there age) BIRTHDAY (directors name). mrgreen heheh it was great we did it this year. to ours.

well...i made the same list when i was in eight grade. it was all stupid stuff like pee in a tuba. a good thing that we've actually done is put our instruments up with his baton like were supposed to and then none of us play on the downbeat. we dont normally do mean things cause our director is really cool.

My freshman year my second chair and I started the infamous C# method (All you saxophones, this is the OPEN C# method twisted )
See, our BD told the saxophones that we were WAY off tune and our rythms were sucking moose-cakes (Its a joke with the BD and Sax section). I told my second chair to play C# for all the song...only C#...and to play it just randomly. Eventually, the whole section caught on. He then told us it was the best we have ever played... He was serious. He didn't even notice. We have done this for 3 years and he STILL doesn't know. GOD I love our BD.

Also, The sax line was doing a FRIEKIN 4 to 5 step! Horizontal slide! BEHIND THE BACK HASH! Playing a LOW B C and D. (The person who writes a drill is an idiot when it comes to helping sections out at solo parts.) We are the only ones playing to open up our last song. Our BD chews us out for being WAY to soft. So the next time we played it really blasting and nasty. He yells that we're too loud. Our section leader tells us not to play at all, so we do. "THAT'S PERFECT SAXOPHONES! JUST LIKE THAT!" I was so lost and confused, lol

Throw the BD's baton onto the ceiling and make sure it get's stuck there.. *cough* my boyfriend did that and my BD blew up. Oh wells the band room was old and falling apart anyways.

When ever someone gets called out of class from Band, my BD would get pissed off. He actually ripped the speaker box off the walls and now there's a gaping hole where the speaker use to be. The new freshmen are wondering what the hole is for... xd

Quiz him on the fingerings of instruments that he's not an expert on (like mine's a brass player, so I always ask him oboe and basoon fingerings lol),

bring in your own scores, then ask him to conduct them, but keep telling him its wrong,

Hide his mouthpieces,

Sit cross legged, claiming all good players do it,

Create a castle out of the extra stands and tell him your section is on hostile relations with another,

Dance during long measure rests,

bring in your own metronome and use it at completly wrong tempos,

bring in toy instruments (I.E, the kazoo, whistles, toy tambourines)
and say you want to master ALL instruments.

Mine BD always breaks or loses his batons in fits of anger, or frustration, and always keeos like 3 spares, one day we replaced them all with chopsticks, he was mad,

And my favorite

My band teacher makes do reports if we miss a concert, so when my friend was sick for it, We helped her do a 22pg. report, then turned it in in german, it was great, he was so mad, he had to take it to the german teacher to get translated smile

1 'sneeze' right as he/she is -just- starting the song.

2 keep repeating number one

3 hide the music

4 hide his/her chair

5 yawn -really- bigly while they are lecturing

6 fall asleep (this really gets them)

7 play games with the people next to you

8 play twister with people using your music as the colours (ex, left foot on Greenbriar March)
