We had this one sub when our band director was gone, and I swear this lady had no idea how to conduct, and instead of moving her arms the RIGHT way, she was trying to get us to follow her the WRONG way and was moving her arms up and down frantically and saying, "Up and down and up and down and up and down..." and we still talk about it. There was also this one time in sixth grade when our band director was talking about sharps and flats or something, and instead of saying flat she said fart. It was pretty funny, since it was our first day and we were *cough, cough* impressionable young children.

I have something to add.
Today in band, we were playing a march and the clarinets and trumpets were off. He stopped us and said, "What the hell was that?" It's the only time I've ever heard a teacher cuss. It was hilarious.

Today our BD was conducting really hard, standing up on his podium stand thing with the brass, and suddenly his baton flew out of his hand and hit a bass clarinet on top of the head. xd And Jones says in this almost monotonous voice (you can tell he's about to laugh though) "Whoops. Sorry." and he gets this HUGE grin on his face. eek xd

My BD is offically CRAZY!
One day we were sitting in the music room, and she was writing something on the board, and our Bass Clarinet player, who is almsot equally as crazy as our BD, started petting her shoes, and our BD was like, "Chantelle, stop it, your turning me on!" eek
And then, she has the only comfy chari in the entire classroom, so we always steal it, and she always threatens to sit on us. I think I'm the only one who has actually been sat on. sweatdrop
She also has this really odd tendancy to stab herself with her baton, and pretends to die. Just at random occaisions, for no real reason... stare
Today was the last day of the semester, so it was our last music class, and as a kinda "going away" party, we had fondue. Mmmmm Fondue... anyways... we did an oil fondue with hot dogs and cheese and batter and whatever... and then she was sitting there cooking her stuff, and shes like "Mmmm fondue turds!" refering to the little peices of batter that were floating around the fondue pot. I swear she is gunna die of a heart attack at like 32! IF she keeps going with these fondues, and her love affair with Nachos! Mmm Nachos lol

My BD likes coming up behind me and pulling my hair, slapping my back, calling me names, hitting me with blunt objects, etc.
She once followed me for a whole three minutes just to keep saying "Hey Loser!"
She also on occasion blows me kisses whilst calling me Darling. Last time, 20 onlookers were scarred for life.

We have this huge piece where the identification-letter thingies, go all the way to Z. We were midway through the piece and my conductor says:
"Go to L" with a huge grin on his face.
(say it out loud if you don't understand)

bushytailedfreak 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... <_< >_> LOL We played that too...... The french horns were going to pick a note and Mr. Dunham said `okay, everyone, measure (insert measure name here)` So, we started there, and when we were playing and we all braced ourselves for the pick a note, all the horns played the exact same note! BD just kind of cut us off and sat there. He said`okay, from the top' and we all just burst out laughing I played that in middle school too.

It's a fun and relatively easy piece. ^__^ A lot of funny sayings have come out of it in our band.
