Ha! Our band director was showing us the circle of fifths on the chalkboard, and decided that two flats alone together wasn't safe. He ran and got some tape, covered them, and sighed, "Those two should have some privacy now."

omg! so many where to start!
1. one day our band director was crewing us out like crazy in marching season and next thing you know he says, "oh look a butterfly..." we all stared at him like he was crazy. then he was like, "okay lets start again," like he was never yelling at us. none of us moved and he explained, "okay, when i was working out here marking the fields i swear i saw that same butterfly" we all busted out laughing
2. we were at a marching competition and we were sitting in the stands watching the other bands after we had finished. and the annoucer dude was talking. and out of nowhere he says, "and don't forget to get yyyyyoooooouuuuurrrrr........NNNNNNNAAAACCCCCCCHHHHOOOOOOSSSS!!!!" we all laughed our a**es off....now when any of us say Nachos we bust out laughing....
3. ok in concert season i play a Contra Alto Clarinet now...and one day our director got mad as us....and he does this often....he was banging his paton on the stand...and he hit it so hard it flew out of his hand and almost hit me in mine...and i sit two rows back...i was like..."OH MY GOD MR.HAAS JUST TRIED TO KILL ME....," now its a big joke to everyone...>.<...
4. i wasn't there when this happened it was a year before i joined HighSchool band but i heard from him....our best Tuba player Jared got a nickname Fullmetal...you know from F.M.A....well he got that name because when they first got their white gloves he was the first do make Edwards signature move! xD
i will have more later to tell...for now i leave you with those few....

"We NEVER listen to her."
One day there was no jazz band and half of the people showed up. One of the teachers asked why they were there so early, and one of the people said that. Now the band director keeps teasing him about it.
"One applause!"
There was this really weird sub for one of the English/Social Studies teachers. Whenever someone said something good, she would say "one applause... 1, 2, 3!" and she expected us to clap. We brought that to the band room.
Last year, this one guy drew some figures on index cards and cut them out. He made more and more and like, the band director collected them all and we named them. Edwin is our #1 mascot. He got taken hostage once.
The band director always calls one of them (the guy that made the figure thingies) a different name each time. Some common ones are Harold, Sven, and Fonzy.
And like, these aren't really inside jokes, but the director calls us Freaks of Nature a lot. We also have a bad habit of random comments right when we're supposed to play. It's a bad habit, but it's funny still. "They grow up so fast." "MEOW!" "I HAS A *insert random item here*"
And I throw paper airplanes in class with writing on them a lot. One time the director was telling us about how her house was all decorated for Halloween, and I kept asking her where she lived. She wouldn't answer. So I made a paper airplane and wrote "WHERE DO YOU LIVE" on it, and I started doing that a lot.
There's so many more that I can't remember right now.

"Take it like a sax player"
We were standing at attention one day after F***ing up the drill hardcore, and our BD threw his drill notes clip board across the field, it pegged our Section leader right in the nose and he just stood there, so now when our BD gets really pissed and starts to throw it, someone will say "Take it like a sax player"
I find it hilarious. cause the BD doesn't even know he hit Nick(Sax section leader) that time, so he doesn't get it.

And KEVIN deserves to die. So our Band Director Miss Moore makes us sing
everything we play before we play it. [Sucks.] But we were happy, because we were
playing Sweeney Todd music, the drama department is putting on the musical,
(We all get prop straight razors ^.^) and we were near the end of a song involving
Sweeney and Ms. Lovett, where the lyrics were 'And we all deserve to die. Even you
Ms. Lovett!' and one of our tenors just jumps up and screams the name of one of
the drummers, Kevin. The result being his voice overcoming our voices and the song sounding like 'And Kevin deserves to die.I'm f*cking blind.
Our BD's son David came into play once, and he started playing the Halloween theme on his trumpet. He tried playing a destructively high note at the end, and somehow, it made him go blind in one eye. The funny thing was, in the middle of class, he jumps up and screams, "I'M F*CKING BLIND!"

most of the story:At one of our marching competitions in our last movement drill I was placed right by/behind some of the alto saxes (I march Flute). We stayed there for a few seconds during the rest, then we had to backwards march from the front to the back of the field and one of the colorguard poles wasnt pushed out far enough from the previous movement (there were five of us in that corner and we all tripped over the poles at least once during the season) and one of the Altos tripped over the pole did a compete backwards roll back onto his feet still marching. Best part was that when he didn't get to his set in time for the rest he stopped and we didn't lose that many points.
But after that it sorta became a joke (but not a mean joke) Everbody was making up stories and laughing about it, and on the Band Final Exam (joke to scare the freshies... I am a freshman but it didn't get me) one of the questions was What do you do when you fall over a colorguard pole during competition?

1)One day last year, our drum majors were passing out pep band music. They had to get the band's attention, so they shouted out the name of the piece they had. For example, "Does anyone need 'Spiderman?'" or "I've got Cali Sun!'"
Well, one of them, Jon, shouted, "Gimme Some Lovin'!" The band burst out laughing and our director, Mr E, said, "I hope that was a musical request."
2) "Gimme Some Lovin', Mustang Sally, Shout It Out!"
3) Jazz run!
4) "We are the ghetto munchkins!"
5) "No, no, no! It's not Flag-ETTES! It's FLAG-ettes!"
6) "Does anybody know the answer for a quarter?"
7) "Choke your chicken!"
cool To the outnumbered trombones "I made better sounds than that in the bathroom this morning!"
9) Freebird!
Stay gravy,
Toonlass

lol, I have more.
1. How to get high from a clarinet.
Ok. My firend and I are best buddies. We met in band, both play the carinet. Every sectionals, we always end up getting hyper to the point where we can't stop giggling, and we shout randome stuff. No sugar what so ever. And my clarinet sectionals are usaully in the morning too.
2. Power Ranger dude~
Ok. In our band room, their was always this awsome powerranger action figure sitting on top this little section of the wall. He's way up high so you'll need to stack chair's and ect. to get him down. He's been up their for years, because no one ever tried. Soon my of my band teachers strted saying, " Play to the power ranger!" And stuff. He was semi-what our action figure. This year, he magicly disapeared [ I'm in 8th grade. And my school is 6th-8th. All the 8th graders were sad because he's gone. We were the only ones who knew about him. The 6th graders are clueless, and I think it was the PURE EVIL 7th graders who did it. our 7th graders are PURE SATEN DEVIL'S CHILDREN evil at our school. ] So My friend [same clarinet buddy] are going to put a polly pocket, and try to find a clarinet and tape it to her hand, then put it up there.
3. Austria Thief Sheep stealing song.
Ok. We have this song called around the world in 80 measurs. Every 4 measure ors so is a section from a countries song. One of them is Austria [they have the name of the countries on top, and in the director's packet, they have the name of each song.] And it sounded weird. No one recanized it. So during flute sectionals [ I wasn't their, but my triplet sis. was. i know shocking. lets move on.] Decided to look up what lyrics to the song. They were like " It sounds weird. I wonder what the lyrics are." So My band director, and all the flutes crowed into her little office, and looked them up. Turns out, it's a songabout this thief who stole this sheep because he was hungry. So th police came after him, and they caught him on the bridge. Then to theif yelled, " If I can't have the sheep, no one can!" And he jumped off the bridge to his deat with the sheep. So every time we practice the song XD the sheep thief story comes up. XD
i'll have more once I remeber more XD funny how Band is so awsome, yet alot of people end up quitting. well, they are SQUARES!

"DAMNIT!!! Oh, s**t..."
We were all in the band hall, and Trevor fell asleep. Trevor is a Trumbone player who doesn't get enough sleep... He had a dream that he kept dropping things, and he though he dropped his trumbone... Suddenly, out of the blue: "DAMNIT!" Everyone starts laughing, and Mr. Guidry looked around the band hall like someone shot at him, and Trevor was sitting next to me, and Mr. Guidry walks over to us. "Oh, s**t..." Trevor says as Mr. Guidry is two rows ahead of us, and he looks right at me... Guess what: Mr. Guidry is def in one ear, so all he says to me is "You're F sounds like a B flat..."
