I am a band geek
My director does a lot of stuff to get us like "in the zone." He will sing way too high for his range. Another habit he has is if we play like a note or something continuos times he will use five sylables or less to get us to go again like:
Rea-dy=fast-er=go!
Rea-dy=trom-bones=go!
Clar-i-nets=and=go!
Be-gin-ing=go!
We all love him. And my other director was a flute player and one day when we were playing a concert march she went back to the percussion section and played some great snare. And when she was done she was like..."And that's coming from a flute player!"
I got hit in the head with a trombone slide though. For summer band we also wanted to take a picture of the clarinets circling around somebody with their mouthpiece ends pointed at someone on the groud.
Got a PROBLEM with that?!

1) Hit your friends with your drumstick.
2) My friend's mom ran over her[my friend's] cello.
3) Very first year of band when everybody just got their instrument, we kept pointing out and poking the dents and imperfections.
4) Attempt to put out a very tiny fire with the saliva from your instrument.
The extra 5) Suggest a "battle" between the band and the orchestra.
Can't think of anymore neutral

I tried to wear my tuba as a hat but it didn't work. It was too heavy.

one of the best things to do is take a clarinet, take the mouthpiece off and put a quarter in the barrel. when the player comes back they won't be able to make a sound and freak out

Lol, in my band we've stuck people in the sousaphone cases on several occasions x3
Or, while we're sitting in our little bleacher thingies at football games and the sousaphones put their instruments done on the ground, I like to hop in and out of them (the big hole/space in the middle), or hop from one to another xD yayy

Oh there's a ton of things to do with drumsticks...
-Have sword fights
-Throw (fling) them at people
-Stab things
-Poke people
-Have a contest to see who can break the most sticks
-Put your sticks together and have a 'who's stick is the biggest?!' contest
And my personal favorites.. 3nodding
-Put them in brass instruments and have them play. It's funny whee
-Make an arrow out of your drumsticks and fire an 'arrow' at someone (mainly the BD)
-Turn one of the stands for the cymbles into a gun by placing it on your shoulder. Ready? Aim..FIRE!
-Go up to people and ask them; "Wanna feel my stick?" while holding it to your crotch, especially if it's one for bass drum with the white head. Ahh, get's them every time...

In marching band, we had 2 colorguard clarinetists. The first was a colorguard person who injured her shoulder and ended up filling in a drill hole. The second was a clarinetist who thought she was in the colorguard. She threw her clarinet into the air, twirling, and managed to miss catching it. While we were practicing on the parking lot. Needless to say, there were damages. A lot of damages.

This is probably the grossest story you guys will hear....
One time in 7th grade, this trumpet was sitting behind us clarinets and well... This was 7th mod, right after gym class, which was right after lunch. And the director was in the middle of a song when you see this expression on his face like he saw a dead person. eek
Turns out the trumpet behind us threw up. And it came OUT of the trumpet. And on our clarinet cases. rolleyes

Well, if anyone drops or hits their instrument against something, they give them CPR...

In 7th grade, our director would go off on tangents, so I would fall asleep. These guys would always take my glasses and put them in the bell. Have you ever tried gatting glasses out of a Euphonium?It wasn't easy, and they did this a lot.
