My teacher gets too excited when a section gets something right in a private sectional. He yells, "Oh, that feels good!" repeatadely. Once I was outside of the practice room when he said that. Did not sound right.... xd

Concert Band Workshop...
A buncha schools pick a buncha people to go somewhere for 2 days. The people there form a mass band, reherse and perform a concert.
Late afternoon, before we had to pack up (try carrying two timpanies up rickety stairs without railings...) and leave.
Mr. E: "Ok, I like to exagerate my ritards."
Band: *silence.*
Mr. E: "I am the KING of ritards!"
And that was the end of learning for that day. rolleyes
Same place, earlier...
Mr. W: Oh my God! I've never had this many bass clarinets before... Oh gosh.
I will call you my bass clarinet army! Mwahahahaha!
Me to other trumpet player: Uuhh... Is this guy normal?
Her: No, no he isn't.
Me: Ok then.
*tuning*
Mr. W: PLAY FOR ME, MY BASS CLARINET ARMY! LOUDER! OH YES!!! LOUDER!!!
A little bit after...
Mr. W: Ok, I want that gong to be heard. Can you roll it?
Mike: Umm... Is there such thing as a gong roll?
Mr.W to other directors: Is there?
Other directors: Nope... I don't think so.
Mr. W: Yes, yes there is.
Mike: Ummm... Ok.
*laughter*

1. My teacher always uses similies like your like the people marching down the river, you have to keep a straight beat not all choppy 2. When she compliments you she says "Kuod to you" 3. A lil anecdote, when were playing and our director starts us we would come in late, but all the band came in late at the same time, and when he would stop us we would hesitate but stop at the same time.

one of the weirder of my highschool band directors was named Mr. Highfill... he was a retired band director that came out of retirement to help the district for the season because they hadn't found a new director for us yet. So he was really old... and from the millitary style marching, so corps band was weird for him. I still to this day remember and laugh about the many "Highfillisms".
When he wanted our attention he would point his index finger to his forhead right between his eyes. (that was supposed to mean we were to be looking at his eyes)
Then when he wanted us to huddle up he'd shout "BAND.... TO ME!" (we were supposed to run as fast as possible and circle around him without running into him.... needless to say, he still got bumrushed on ocassion!)
Ruling like a military general we tended to "salute" him after he turned his back to us... the official salute was a swift finger to the forehead, hand down to the side and then up in the german salute with a "Hile Highfill" under the breath! twisted

Well when my band teacher doesn't think we're focusing he says:
"Concentrate and finger your parts!"
Of course he doesn't realize that can be taken the wrong way. blaugh

Ok, we are in the middle of setting drill and we are all on our new dots.... We all had trouble getting to them so our band directors, we have 3, were on a cherry picker so they could see the ofrmations... Well, Mr.Hendricks was wobbling it and Mr.Hoey yelled "Stop it or I'll shove a piccolo down your throat." The funny thing was, Mr.Hoey forgot that he had his mic on, so we ALL heard it.... The mr.Lamos was laughing so hard, he almost made the cherrypicker tip over.... I love those guys...

Today he said "I'm really sick...I know I'm not pregnant..."

Mr.Mulkins didnt really SAY this. This is a part from an anonymous email he got from some REALLY odd student. "You are a sexy farmboy stud..." The whole class couldn't stop laughing for the rest of the period. Even Mulkins was laughing lol.

Oh gosh! rofl Our band director is by far one of the sstranngest directors who, when is mad, yells totally weird things. Honestly I can't remember those. Oh...there was this one time in our newsletter that he said, and I know what ornery means, but you just can't help but laugh, "It's near time for State Competition, I know that sometimes I get ornery from the stress so please don't be offended if I happen to jump on top of you." I just couldn't help it. Alot of us had a good laugh. He almost always says things in an awkward, out of context way. lol biggrin

One day when we were going over which sections had clean up duty for luch and dinner at band camp, our director, Mr. Marshall, said the clarinets had to clean up the stadium after dinner. Immediately afterwards, there was a LOUD rumbling from outside the building, and our co-director, Mr. Lawless, made a fearful face and exclaiming "The Clarinet God!" and scooted quickly away from Mr. Marshall. It was hysterical. (They were repaving the bus lanes, the rumbling was the machinery starting up! xd )

Today in marching rehearsal, one of the Sousas didn't know where to stand. Mr.Freeman yells out "No, Jacob! You're supposed to be inside her!" The whole band just kind of stopped and snickered. I think he meant to say "further inside than her" (:

Our band teacher is really funny. xD
Well don't call him by his last name, everyone calls him 'Goose'.
(He has a long last name. xD)
Everytime he can't keep us quiet he gets this old school bell and bangs on it with a metal poll if he's not banging his head on the wall. sweatdrop Haha, i love our band teacher. xD
=O This doesn't have to do with my band teacher but this happened the other day in the bus while we were going to play at a different towns field. The school didn't bring an extra bus for band members so we had to share with the cheerleaders bus (which we had trouble fitting everyone on.) when we were coming back from the school we played, went back on the bus and the cheerleaders started signing songs. This really funny guy in my class named Derauj yelled "Why do you guys have to sing!?", one of the cheerleaders turns around and goes "Well maybe if you guys didn't suck at playing the band then we wouldn't have to sing." Well, i guess it's a 'moment' thing because i thought it was hilarious. Deraju replied... "We suck at playing the band? Now that was grammatically incorrect." lmao i thought it was funny.
