"AH! SET THREE!"
Ok so during band camp set three on our coordinate sheets looked like something dirty. Well, one day we were marching and my friend Lauren messed up. We aren't allowed swear on the feild so she said "AH...Sh- SET THREE!" It's now the official swear word in the band.
Dislexic Saxes
Well, one day at sectionals our section leader was trying to teach us how to dress a line so she had us try to make a line between her and the assistant section leader. We made an arc. Then she told us to make an arc between her, the assistant and a sophmore. We made two lines. We're dislexic. 'nuff said.
Three trumpets, one sax, four recorders, and 10 minutes to learn to play ode to joy = One really annoying screeching festival and a very bad preformance.
Imitations of Karate Kid using band.
"Sax on, Sax off, Hat on, F**K Off."
Tuning problems at TOB
Dakota- "Lauren, your flat."
Lauren- "YOU'RE FAT!"
Dakota- "Ssshhhh!"
Lauren- "Well then don't call me fat!!!"
Dakota- "I said you're flat..."
Lauren- "Oh...Son of a b***h, its always flat."

In marching band, the directors will tell us to get into a half circle or a circle, and we really try, but we never get it.
So we are the geometrically retarded band.
Also, for a football game, we were supposed to do shapes in our individual sections while returning to our seats. Well, the clarinet section wanted to make something no one else made, so we thought we'd do a star. But then we found it too hard. We didn't want to do a circle or square like everyone else, so we did blobs.
We were know as the "Clarinet blob"
We were right though; no one else did blobs. The teachers laughed at us.

Yes!
1. The Colored Duck Tape Gang. The color changes every year at band camp. Last year it was pink. Whoever has it on they're arm is a gang member. Or on they're instrument. I have yet to be excepted! T-T Oh well
2. The elves cut out. Last year, we started a tradition at our band camp (we go to a college campus. Our marching field is right next to our dorm building) were we take a large cardboard cutout of a random celebrity (lasy year elves) and one of the girls stick it out a window facing the field. It's funny seeing Elvis as we practice our steps.
3. After we play our fight song (for pep band) the drummers aid in about 5 secounds of random drumming. The school board officals still wonder why... cool
GO CLAIRENTS (for Marching and Pep) AND GO BASS CLARIENT (for Concert) Whoot!

1. Since our band is mostly Filipino, our band director thought it was funny to say... "CHOP THAT PUPPY UP!" & i started tearing up & said "AWWW! POOR PUPPY!" :[
2. When we went to a Away football game (their homecoming game), the other teams section leaders came over to say 'Hi', but the first guy to say 'Hi' was so nervous;; he started to sweat & studder;; & all of a sudden he shouts "I PLAY TUBA! WOOOOO!" & after each section leader said what they wanted to say, the one guy would keep yelling "YEAH!" & "WOOOO!"
hahas. it was the best game we ever went to. :']

When my band went to Disneyland for the Disney recording and our band trip, the chaperone's (Like the directors and band secretary) decided to get on space mountain. Well, one of the directors, Mr. Waters, doesn't like fast moving coasters and when he's on them, he swears. Well, he looked at the BAnd Secretary, Mrs. Austin (She hates swearing and when people swear), and told her "For your sake, I'm going to try not to swear. I'm going to say rutabaga instead." So throughout the whole ride, he was saying "rutabaga rutabaga." So now it's an official band swear. xD
Then during band camp this year, Mr. Waters for some unknown reason, looked at a kid and told him he was a towel. So now that's an official name calling saying. No one really knows what it means. xDD

1. During an incredibly boring field practice, I was leaning on my sousaphone, waiting for the instructors to finish whatever, and it was taking forever. So I say rather loudly, "This sucks." The asian near me whirls around and stares at me.
"Did you just say, 'OH SEX'??"
Since then, we say that to each other when we pass by.
2. My tuba section leader is not fat. In fact, he's buff, in shape really. But since he eats so freaking much, he likes to call himself fat. He also likes to use fat in place of swear words. So in the tuba section, 'fat' is used as a swear word, insult, compliment, and adjective.
3. My band has something with groping each other.....my freshman year, everyone seemed to be giving each other 'titty twisters' (well the guys did). It has died down a lot this year, but it is still going on.
4. A good friend of my director comes around to help us out sometimes. One day, he was getting a bit frustrated with our color guard and their jazz running technique. He shouts, 'I can jazz run better than you! Don't make me prove it! I will come down there and jazz run....in my spandex!' or something like that. That produced a very disturbing but hilarious image. I love that guy.
5. There was this tuba fellah (I wasn't around when he was), his name was John Grille or something, and he was a very peculiar guy. Apparently, he was prone to making the same mistake over and over...and over...and over...Once, when he made the same mistake for the 50th time, he yelled, "God DAMMIT!" loudly, heaved his tuba as though he was going to throw it, stopped and gently laid it on the ground, and stalked cursing out of the room for some 5 min. Ever since then, we say in performance, "Don't make a John Grille."
6. Finally, again before I was there, with John Grille again, they were resetting to some set during field practice, and John Grille yelled randomly, 'Come on, let's go! Quick like bunnies!' Ever since then, when the instructors complain of how slow we go, someone yells that.

What flavor toothpaste do you use? My band director brought some toothpaste to school one day and started directing with it on accident.

When we get called to attention before we start the show we're supposed to yell wildcats, but before attetion we get called to detail. Our BD called detail, and ony me and a few other people did it, everyone just ignored him. I was anticipation attention so the next time he called detail, everyone accually listened, but i snapped to attention and screamed wildcats, infront of the other 54 band members. theyll never let me live it down, drew loves to walk by and go wildcats in this really high pitched falsetto.
Our BD's daughter took a trumpet on time and just started playing it: kicker is - id been trying to play fro 3 weeks and she did better than i did.

"BAIL OUT!" - We were marching and a trumpet was fed up with the person in front of him so he screamed bail out and tuck and rolled out to the side lines.

Oh Gawd I thought of more:
Bill. He was a percussionist the used to go up in the schools ceilings and he never returned. If something goes wrong we blame Bill. Or if somethign odd happens..
Saxophones x Bass Clairnets = War!!
[ Like 20 against 2 ]
Chicken Dance. We were screwing around oen day and our techer figured out how to Play the Chicken Dance from variations of Around the Mountain 0o;;

OKay here are just a few, our band has too many. XD
*First is story time. Our band director will randomly go off on rants about from when he was in highschool including that fact that he was a cheerleader. ^^; We can get him to do this for an entire period.
*We play the song Crazy Train for pep band and there are parts where you yell "AIY AIY AIY" but our drummer have added there own spice to the the song by yelling "Yeah" and"get naked". Its quite funny when they cant decided weather or not to yell it in front of the parents. XD
There are many more but i have to go for now. Ill post more later. =]
