Welcome to Gaia! ::

ah I see. That sucks it always fun playing the music you want to play instead of sight reading..

Winner!u get 300gold!

I was almost eaten by a sousaphone at yesterday's game. I sat down on the bleachers next to my friend and her Sousaphone started falling and almost encased my head.

So we hosted regionals(finally over! I bruised my tailbone sitting so long, and I ache all over!) and today the whole band was in our gym waiting for dinner break to end. Well, somehow, they found our school sports equipment(We were all rpetty sure it was locked. apparently not)

Well, I was talking to my friend.

Her: How did they get to our sports stash?
Me: Leave it to the band kids to find the balls.
*Awkward silence*
Me: Lets try this again. Leave it to the band kids to find the basketballs.
Her: rofl


And not to mention all day it was raining. We had lunch provided, but we had to walk about 2 minutes to get from the lunchline to the cafeteria, in pouring rain. by the time we got to eat, we had soup, not pizza. I'm pretty sure it snowed for a few seonds, and I just had to comment about the white stuff in the skyXD(we live in arizona. Snow isn't in oru dictionary)

Me: There is white stuff faling from the sky!
Our bass clarinetist: Thats what she said.


Then our gym is really squeaky.
We were having rehearsal for an hour in there, but because it was so echoy our clinician decided to just do breathing instead of actually playing. We were doing tis excersize where we all tense up as tense as we can and thewn release all the tension in a quick burs. Well, as well all tensed up, he stepped on the wrong spot in the floor, and it made a farting noise. It was to perfect timing, and so we burst out laughing.
And then he did it again during another excersize. This excersize was one where we used our arms as gas gauges. We would breath in for 6, out for 6, in for 7, out for 7, and while we breathed in we would bring our arms up, and as we breeathed out we would move them down. He ended up squeaking just as we started to breath out, so our breathing out didn't last long.
And finally we were sitting on the floor doing this excersize where we inhale for 10, hold for 20, exhale for 10, then we make the hold for 30 and then 40. Well, on the hold for 40 someone coughed reall weird, so it sounded like a dying cat(a guy tooXD) and so everyone started laughing, including him.

Okay, so there was this one piece of music for concert band (I don't remember the name) and our one tenor had a solo in the middle. He started playing it, then messed up, then GAVE up and just started BLATTING out notes XD It sounded like a euphonium blat. I was thinking to myself 'I didn't even know a sax could MAKE that noise' and Mr. B stopped us, grinning and the tenor was still blatting out notes. It was funny.
There are others, but I can't remember.
Anyone ever heard of a song called Metroplex?

A few months ago we were rehersing our Blues Brothers marching show first period. We had two kids dress up and Elwood and Jake from the movie. The kid who dressed up as Jake stuffed a pillow under his shirt. In the middle of rehersing our first song his pants fell down and he just marched out and away from them. (Keep in mind this kid is marching around in his boxers with frost on the ground.) "Elwood" picked them up and tossed them off the field when he passed. It was entertaining XD.

I just thought of a few.

We were having a night rehearsal for wind ensemble. Well, the basss drummer i the back was twirling her stick around waiting for her part to come in. Just before she come sin, she drops it. it hits the drum, she tries to catch it but just bumps it back up so it hits the drum again, then hits the rim fo the drum, then she tries to stop it with her foot and it bounces off her foot and hits the suspended cymbal next to ehr. And the scary thing is: it hit when it was supposed to. Both times it hit the drum she was suppoed to come in, the rim was right with a snare click, and the cmbal crash was supposed to eb there too. She was laughing pretty hard and her face was red.

way back in eighth grade, we were putting chairs away after a concert, well, me and two freidns were left in the band room because we had done our part. well, one of my friends, a tuba player, was sitting across the band roomf rom us. My other freind, an oboe player, asks her to come and join us.
Tuba: But I don't want to pick up the chair!!
Oboe: Just scootch it then!
So she stands up and starts scootching it across the floor by bouncing a bit. We were laughing so hard.
"Fun with chairs!" And so we alls tarted doing it, until other people started coming in. Then we pretended nothing happened.

That same day my friend had the brilliant idea to put a chair against the riser, run up to it, and jump on it like a surfboard to make it fall. It worked with minor slip and fall. Well, next he decided to try it with two chairs over two risers. He got the first chair, thn his idea for the second chair filed and he ended up hitting it down with his side and doing a flip on the floor. Right into the gong. He bumped the gong with his head and was deaf for most of the day.
