our band director has a habit of telling random stories. my freshman year, we would sense a story comming and sit in a little circle around him, sway back and forth and say "stoooory tiiiiiiiime!"
the best one to date is this one time he was talking about hazing in his college fraternity and he said " and then a bunch of other stuff happened, and we ended up in a lake..." we were all like "what the crap!?!"

Flaming_Shadow_Angel Number_09 During "The Great Locomotive Chase:" Mr. B - Sam, did you pick a note? Sam: Yeah... Mr. B - What note did you pick? *Sam holds up fingerings* Mr. B - Now, did you PLAY that note? Sam: No... <_< >_> Like oh my god!! I love that song!! I played it when I was in 8th grade!! We had sooo much fun playing it. The part where you sped up at measure 19, the percusion(me), we were doing it right, but especially the trumpets(all idiots, accept a few), were speeding up like crazy!! Our band director just went with us! It was hillarious! *was the clarinet soloist*

Flaming_Shadow_Angel It wasn't something my band director said. --None of the percusion had any of their equipment, because it was all at another high-school, but we had a break drum. (F.Y.I., I played one in the song the band was practicing at the moment.) I pulled up a chair next to my clarinet friend, and I had a 25 measure rest until I came in with that instrament. All of a sudden, my part came, and everyone just cracked up. My band director was like, you were sitting there, all innocent, and then BAM! Gues ya had to be there. biggrin Yeah, I was her clarinet friend she sat next to. I fell out of my chair.

This was at symphonic band last week. Our marching band splits into two bands after marching season, Symphonic and Wind Ensemble.
Guide
James: A trombone player. A kind of bad trombone player, but he's funny.
Mr. Cassiday: Normally the assistant director, is main director for Symphonic Band.
Mr. Early: Normal main director, for full band and Wind Ensemble.
Amy: A baritone player that sits right in front of James.
Band: *playing Dance of the Slippery Slide Trombones, a variation of Dance of the Sugarplum faries that features a lot of trombone glisses*
James: *playing his glisses insanely loud and obnoxiously*
Mr. Cassiday, trying to be polite: Okay, James...can you be...not quite so enthusiastic about the part?
James: But Mr. Early told me I could rip my pants!
Mr. Cassiday: Well, that's fine...but dont' rip Amy's pants too, okay?
James: *gets up and looks at Amy* But she's wearing a skirt!
That was the end of practice for the day.

During class, my band teacher Mr. Warner is a riot. Not by what he says but what he does, then says. He was acting all lazy yelling at the trumpets because they weren't loud enough(can you believe this?) So he took out a laser pointer and then pointed at each trumpet player right in the middle of their forehead and asked them to play. If they weren't loud enough, he would make everyone stomp their feet and this would continue until every trumpet player was as loud as 40 squeaking clarinets and 15 flutes playing high "D". But it worked like charm. Every single one of those trumpets got into honor band. When they all got in he says "May the force be with you" and gave each trumpet a laser pointer. But only in class. Now this year, he gave everyone a laser pointer. But they are only used during band class. Warner is awesome! Then some days he comes with these hilarious ties and kisses them.

My middle school band teacher was kind of wierd.
Once, my best friend Shawn, the tenor sax player, was at the front of the room to ask her something, and I guess he pissed her off, and she shoved a stand over and it hit him, making him fall over and hit his head, so he blacked out for a few seconds. I was like "Death by stand! Death by stand!"
Then she threw a snare stick at my head.

My band director was talking about whether he should put the drumline in the front or the back of the stands.
Him: So in my life, I've had it both ways...
Of course, only a few people get it. x]

Ok so you people may not get it or it may not be funny but yah my band teacher is like a child...ADD and all. It helps on test days when he starts randomly talking about how he had ice-cream for dinner but anyway. So the other day in band class he was talking to one of the other immature kids in the class and he said "You need to open up," Well doing this with his hands () Then squishing it....it was really funny and gross but he said "I was talking about your mouth." Yah right but that didn’t make it much better anways.
