Our BD for wind ensemble says sooo many funny things... And even if I typed some of them here, very few of them would make sense without a full paragraph explanation. sweatdrop

my teacher used to tell us we were the best worst band he had ever seen and now we are the worst best band he has ever taught.

Our directer has issues...he calls all 5 of the clarinet asains Abe. It's funny he'll be up and they yell Abe your marching was terrible and your in the wrong spot! Abe will look around lost and confused and the person he's yelling at (usually Aaron) will be staring into space. Then he'll scream WHY AREN'T YOU FIXING IT?!?!?!?!And Abe will be like I don't know what your talking about! And he'll say not you him! Who are you?!?!?! I'm Abe! Who's he?! I'm Aaron.

This one is from my brother's middle school director: "We were having a playing test, Mr. M said "Tenors! Play from A to B." Ed: "We have rests from A to B." Mr. M: "What do you mean?" Ed: "We have nothing but rests from letter A to B!" Mr. M: "Do I have to call you 'Special Ed'?" (He was joking, Ed is his favorite student.) Ed: "Come and look at my music, then!" Mr. M does, then says, "Oh. Play B to C."

My band teacher Mr. Martinez always says "horns up" when we are practicing So one day we planned a little joke. he was conducting when he said "horns up, one two ready and..." he madethe motion for us to starts but he only noticed 5 minutes later only the french horns were playing!!!
Also another time he said that the trumpets were brain dead
the first day he bribed other student to join certain sections. I was a flute but I switched to clarinet and after that he stopped. Everyone worshiped me saying thank you and such. Then the next day he said, "Shush her royal highness Savannah would like to solo on camptown races!" and my reign was pretty staccoto after that... sweatdrop

Nothing beats this story..lol
One time we were practicing our Christmas songs when I guess the drummers didn't have anything to play so they took a cowbell,a drum stick,and left the room. My teacher grinned and told Josh,a saxophone/drummer to shut and lock all doors so the 'cattle' can't come back.
Suddenly through our music we could hear a cowbell sound banging in the halls. "Oh my god,the teachers are going to get really mad!!"I thought. Sure enough they came in afterwards because they were in trouble. But they didn't learn their lesson. They took a marching snare drum,and went back in the hall. My teacher asked us if we heard of the song Cows with guns,and that the drummers were officially known as Cows with drums..XD
They got in trouble again. A security guard came with them all and said,"Here you go." My teacher replied,"I don't want them,let them be free in the pastor." We burst out laughing and the drummers came in and finally learned not to play in halls.

tinytim4 My teacher... who just happens to be my favorite of the six, made these < > with his fingers when teaching us about crescendos (and accents, as it happened) and said, "THESE TWO F***in THINGS!!!!" This happened before I was in high school, apparently, but the seniors talk about it all the time. My mentor, Idol, and the Jazz pianist, who is the coolest DORKY dude I've ever met, said something really funny though... When we were playing the song "blues in the fast lane" he looked at his page, (imagine the dorky white kid with freckles and curly red hair) and said in his squeakiest, "It's my SOWLOWah!" just like that... HILARIOUS!!! Also: The band room was closed at lunch for a week because Mr. Miles found a (used) condom in the band room... (bleccchhh). So when he told us the band room was closed, he said, "Well, I guess you guys skrewed up a good thing..." That's mostly just gross. our bd found a used condom in our band room and after our talen show the second night we were on our way back to the room and we walked in and it smelled like cigerett smoke so some one was smoking in the band room

ok.. he did something funny again today xDD so I figured I would post it here...
A percussionist was on the kit today... ((it was a "snow day" today so most of our class was missing...)) He had an alternating solo with our pianist... so the pianist played a solo for two bars... then the drummer would, until they reached the end of the 16 bar solo... well the pianist finished his two bars and when it was time for our percussionist to do a solo our BD started waving his arms in the air to show the percussionist that he should "go nuts" on the kit...
the percussionist just stopped and stared blatantly at sir.. the rest of us just laughed our butts off!

Oh dear gods.. I remember someone actually making a LIST of all the dumb things my BD had said in my senior year of HS... Here are some of the things I remember:
-Stop being Meatheads!
-Quit eing butt clowns!
-If the tubas don't play this right it'll sound like a bullfrog on crack cocaine!
I don't remember a lot ;_; He used to make people do pushups ;p
My first band director used to explain rhythms in food terms. Such as Choc-late Cake with po-ta-to SAL-AD (it was syncopated with the end in like 8ths or something, I was a freshman, I don't remember ;p)
I remember people calling our second BD Buzz cause he resembled Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story (this is true ;p)

mr.ritchey: being a band teacher is very stressful u know.
me: why? is it because u lost all your hair?
(snowy day):
mr ritchey: *caughts jose sleeping* jose! is it the love boat? imagining three naked ladies feeding u on a tropical paradise?!
me: uh r u kidding me? it's like cold out there.
moments later:
mr.ritchey: LOOK AT ME EVERYBODY! I'M BEAUTIFUL!
my friend: *makes a vomiting sound*
mr.ritchey: i'm very handsome =).
my friend: no, your so ugly that even a cow's better looking then u

my band director was yelling at the clarinets one day during marching band practice because they weren't making a straight line. he said"you clarinets are never straight!" everyone was laughing. that could've turned into a good inside joke but it never did.
