XD My assistant BD conducted for Concert Band last year and there was a roach in the band room and the flutes were scared to come close and he looked at it and just said, 'Hey, don't be scared of it unless it has a saddle and asks you to hop on.' They still didn't touch it. 'Hey, unless it's your reincarnated uncle or something, squish it!' Everyone spent 5 minutes laughing.
The first memory I have of him is: 'I like my women like I like my coffee, dark and exotic.' XD

My high school band Directer's name is Mr. Swanson, and nearly every body calls him Swany. and he's like the only teacher that lets us call him by a nick name. he's so awesome. And he has this unbelievebly creepy, rapist smile. And he does that do our band alot. It's so freaky.
He's also addicted to Angery Birds. When every he not conducting or working with some one, he's playing it on his phone or iPad. one time in the middle of class he yelled. "DIE PIG!" I was laughing so hard. he even has a stuffed angery bird hanging on his stand (which has a sticker on it that say's 'Tune or Die.' he points to that when we're tuning.). And when we went to play at graduation, he took it with us.
I love Swany!

My band Director ( Mr. Richardson) was in the middle of conducting maybe the most wonderful piece of music he gave us. The Hymn of Philip Bliss. It was MAGICAL! The Clarinets have a HUGE part at the beginning and when then started to play... oh my god. I'm suppressed he didn't kill them, but, what he did do made us laugh the rest of band (maybe like ten minutes). Mr. R grabbed his tie, rolled it up, shoved it in his mouth, and ten made puking noises while he spit it out at the clarinets. I still laugh about it!

RyuuTsunei-Chibi My band Director ( Mr. Richardson) was in the middle of conducting maybe the most wonderful piece of music he gave us. The Hymn of Philip Bliss. It was MAGICAL!

I'm suppressed he didn't kill them, but, what he did do made us laugh the rest of band (maybe like ten minutes). Mr. R grabbed his tie, rolled it up, shoved it in his mouth, and ten made puking noises while he spit it out at the clarinets. I still laugh about it! My old director used to do that a lot. He would have those days where you just couldn't make him officially mad. Instead of "yelling" at us, he would squeal, flail and dance around in an angry-looking manner. Still scary enough to whip us into shape, but so funny it made us laugh. He also ate his tie. A lot. And he would always pretend to shove his baton into his eye when something sounded really bad or someone asked a stupid question. Once, he accidentally did stab himself, which was pretty funny. We once found out it isn't hard to pt him on a sugar high. Our school was doing the musical Willy Wonka, and of course he was conducting the pit. Well, to make the Concrete hole of Death less deathy, we get snacks during the shows and longer rehearsals. Yeah, someone gave him Dr. Pepper and he had skittles. It was hilarious! He was dancing around and acting psycho. He was crazy. The other directors who were working with the actors, the choir and drama directors, were looking at him funny and laughing about it too.

My band director waz really nice to me, but the assistant band director practically hates me!!!! He literally goes behind me during rehersal and crituses the way I play!! Ppl say he expects more from me but I'm trying my best!! The weird thing about him is that I thought he hated me, but when I tell him that I wanna be the lead french horn player in the Chicago orchestra, he started to be nice to me and offered to give me private lessons, weird rite? I guess that's how all band directors are smile

Elizabeth2898 I remember when we had a substitute band teacher and he was talking to the drummer. He was all like don't be fluffy. You gotta be a chicken. Peck at it. everyone was laughing at him. OMG, Helen, Mr. Phillips was SOOOO annoying. I don't think he really had any idea what he was doing....he's not qualified to sub music....

We had a concert that had gotten pushed back, and rescheduled alot. And my band director had said, "If these people don't let us preform the concert any day soon, then my hypothesis that they are stupid would be correct." Everyone just busted out laughing and then the principal walked in and said that the concert wasn't happening. Once she left he smiled. "And that, my friends, proves my hypothesis."
And one time, we were playing for a competion. And my director decided that instead of our regular uniforms that we all should temporary dye our hair a rainbow color, and wear a orange jumper that read- "Baltimore Insane Asylum." It went well with our set because we were doing Ozzy Osbourne.

Heh, my middle school band director once got so frustrated with people talking that she threw a chair O_O. Surprised she didn't get fired. Unfortunately, everyone always talks during band at the middle school because everyone hates her (not a good teacher. horrible at music...sadly..and not very nice with kids that age.) So glad I'm out of there and at the high school now >.>

Lol, my band director got a PVC pipe and directed the band once. But that was last year, so I was unlucky enough to not see it.

Back in 10th grade, my band teacher said "Look at measure 69 and give your lips a break." I thought nothing of it until another bass clarinet player (I was one of 3 at the one) turned to his trumpet playing friends and said "Did you hear that? Mr. Burke said 'Look at measure 69 and give your lips a break'!"

Freshman Year in Marching Band:
So, we refused to perform a show at standstill (we don't do standstill, that wouldn't make us a marching band). We instead marched in the rain for two more hours after an hour already, and I was feeling patriotic for all of the Country of Marching Band.
Our instructor, after the practice, looked at us and told us what was going to happen. Because our uniforms were wet, they needed to be dry cleaned.
So, our band director turned to us and smiled and said, "Hey Band! I know this will sound strange but... I need your pants."
In response, our favorite tuba-turned trombone-turned clarinetist shouted in reply, "Oh, Mr. Miller!!!"
