I made the mistake of upsetting someone.....his EXACT words were,
"Piss me off again, i will shove you down a sousaphone, and then drop you into the river!"

Prince Yoshimori reminded me of something we randomly did during band class once my freshman year. This is why i loved our old bd, before he left T.T
We played sousa golf.
Our sousas were crap, 50 year old crap. They had so many dents they didnt make good sounds, one actually had a valve torn off just by touching it. Another the bell was so dented it faced upwards(we used this one, and the one with the msising valve), and another had a permanent mouthpiece.
Well, sousa golf is amazing. We walk in for band class to find our director and brass instructor(a college aged sousa player at UofA) with a plastic golfclub and pingpong balls.
BD: Who wants to play? *shoots pingpongball at sousa, issing epicly and hitting one of the horrified sousa plyers in the ehad*
Clarient SL: I'll give it a shot.
BD: Whoever gets it in gets extra credit!
A different sousa player: What if it gets stuck?
BD: You get a coke
Everyoen: o_o
We got new sousas last year though. they're shiny silver^-^

From marching band...I miss my section already.
Craig: Where'd they all go?
Me: They went Craiging again.
Craig: ...I still don't like how my name is a verb.
Me: You've always been a verb. Besides, you started it since you had money every day last year.
Ty: *returns* What, Craiging? We call it 'curing cancer' now.
Me: Oh, right, that's SO much better. You and Brandon are definitely going to cure cancer by buying all the Skittles out of the vending machines.
Brandon: Hey, HEY. We buy M&Ms too.

My director had made a joke about people laying in the concert bass drum shade at practice, saying they owe me a quarter if they want to 'utilize its services'. I decided to continue it.
Nathan: *laying in our shade*
Me: Oi, Nathan, you owe me a quarter.
Nathan: What? Why?
Me: Costs a quarter to sit in our shade. And you're supposed to be in your spot.
Nathan: Fine. And DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO.
*next day*
Nathan: HEY. MARY.
Me: ...yes?
Nathan: *throws a quarter at me* Here you go.
Me: *catches it*...I was kiddi---uh, thanks.

Band+secret santa=No commentXD
Our bari player, Sean, works at Mcdonalds. He just happened to be picked by the band clown(one of em)
Part 1: He opens the card to find just a picture of french fries.
2: He opens the gift bag. Finds a mcdonalds bag in it.
3: Opens that to find a chicken nugget box.
4: Opens that to find 3 musketeers.
By that point,t he class was in hysterics.
EDIT:
I forgot the weirdness part.
The trumpet sl has an obsession with the song "the Bird is the Word." I don't know wher eit came from, btu he had a cd with it on it today. He also managed to find a cd player. Him, a horn/bass clari player, and a tuba player all started dancing to it. It was hlarious,a dnthen the director walked in and got mad cause we were all supposed to eb cleanign up her mess in the band room(We had jsut cleaned it nt even a week ago. Her mess, not ours)

Friend: *laughs* "Oh...then you better watch out for your clarinet then..." *walks away*
Me: *smirk* "Ok..."

We're working on this piece and my band director starts talking.
Teacher:Okay now we're going to start at Double D!
Everybody starts giggling, at what he said.
Teacher: Why do you all have to be so immature?
Everybody's still giggling when you hear our tuba player Andy say this.
Andy: I hate that number.......
(he's talking about the Double D comment which referres to a spot in our music.) This causes everybody to laugh even harder.
It was so funny when he said that!

My best friend (also from band) and I went to the movies, and this happened on the way home.
Ben: My sister had a dentist appointment yesterday, and the dentists were chattering at us. If someone said to you 'Do you have Santa at your house?' what would you think? Because we immediately thought 'Oh, yes, he's tied up in our closet.' Turns out she actually meant 'Do you write Santa on gifts to your kids and pretend he's real?'
Me: I wouldn't hold it past you to have Santa in your closet.
Ben: Not my closet, it's too full.
Me: Gee, I wonder why.
Ben: Oh, yes, I have so many fictional holiday characters in there I don't know what to do with myself.
Me: That's where the tooth fairy went.
Ben: You know, I never understood the Easter Bunny. Why does he go around laying eggs---wait, why the hell do we associate a rabbit with eggs anyway? And isn't Easter another Christmas about Jesus? Where does the rabbit come in?
Me: ...another Christmas?
Ben: SHUT UP. Once we get your present from my house I am DROP KICKING you onto your street and you can walk home.
Me: ...*chokes on smoothie, laughing so hard*
