The mind is its own place, and in itself...
Well, from one of our directors: "I know some of you wish I had pretty magic fairy dust to make yourselves play better, but I don't. You have to do it on your own." Another one was to describe the correct position for backwards technique, the Antelope Ballerina. Just imagine the straight legs of an antelope and the fact that our director's old instrustor was a ballet teacher, and their straightness. So we all thought of an antelope wearing a tutu.
The best on is we answer everyone one of their questions with "KNIGHTS!" at the top of our lungs. It's gotten so ingrained that we do this during the actual school day in other classes xD
