Hmm. The older band director is pretty corny, but I love him. ^.^ One time, he was trying to be James Bond.
And last year, the other bd said, "You finger, I'll play!" and being the perverted people we are...

Once when my band director was in choir in college they were rehearsing Carol of the Bells. If some of the guys' parts they would sing the "Ding, Dong, Ding, Dong" part, but the director kept getting frusturated that they would sustain the "Dings" and "Dongs" long enough, till he finally said, "Guys! Hold out your dongs until I cut them off!"

Okay, so even though I'm a sophmore, I'm in a freshman class, just because I'm new to music. Since that's the case for a lot the kids in there, Mr. Grantham (our band idrector) was talking to the french horns, and about how they had their hand placment.
"Okay, I think you guys should really have your hands more like this."
"Like this?"
"No, like this."
"Oh okay. Should it be about this far up?"
"No, it should be up way higher than that. Just stick it right up there."
"Like this?"
"No no, like this. *demostrates*"
"Oh okay. That'll make it in tune?"
Yeeeeeeeah. I swear, me and this alto sax were the only ones that got it. It was very...odd.

The percussion had to play these huge church bell chime-esque things for one song.
Conductor: My one percussion rule is that no matter how hard you hit it, it won't hit you back & It won't break.
Percussionist: Are you sure?
Cunductor: Yes. Just hit it/
Percussionist: *hits it hard enough and it breaks*
Everyone remembers that blaugh

We started a new warm up the other day where everyone starts on a concert F and so not really thinking about it Mr. Gerth called it "F around the room," now this being the concert band and all of us freshman being immuature as we are cracked up.
Or there was the day he spit when he was talking and it landed in the face of the 2nd chair flutist. She wiped it off her face and Mr. Gerth started this fake lisp spit talking about how he was sorry. Damn it was funny.
When we had the Band Lock-In we all went out on the feild at like 3 in the morning and did some basic drills and near the end of it, Mr. Gerth was talking about how the next time we learn the drills (for the freshman) it won't be 3 in the morning and like 7 of the upperclassmen were standing behind him immitating everythign he did, and he moves a lot when he talks and it took him like 15 min before he even noticed.

So this was non-verbal, but one of my friends wouldn't wake up on a jazz band trip, so our director Steve plucked out his armpit hairs! lol, well, he still wouldn't budge, so by the time Steve licked his ear he was up.
He is a funny dude... like once after battle of the bands I was walking through the hall, wearing a jazz band vest I just performed in. Since we had an upcomming festival, he stopped me in the hall, lifted up my arm, gave my armpit a big wiff... then said "You are definatly dry-cleaning that before next week!"
He was once in a pro acting troupe... you know how that thespianism can get to people...

I dunno, ours just calls herself bitchy alot.. which is pretty amusing, cos we go to a real real REEEAL religious school. Also, everyone hates Sister Mary (the principal), especially the teachers. so we're always bashing the principal behind her back. lol

Lepidus Light We were doing a breathing excersize in which we had to fill up our diapraghm and lungs to the top and hiss it out between our teeth. Some people just seemed to go on forever, so when our BD had run out of air, he said that some of them were either cheating or filling the space in their heads where their brain was supposed to be and having extra air from there. xD He was kidding, of course. We do those excersizez (my sp sucks) I hate them. rolleyes

Well it was between the student and the band director...
Mind you our band director is bald, and his head tends to....shine....
So after another blinding rehearsel he asked if anyone had any questions suddenly the girl's next to me hand shot up. I looked over at her, and Mr. T called on her.
Girl: Your head wasn't as shiny today, would you like me to wax it for you?
Mr. T: Sure! My head can always use that extra shine for the ladies
It was great!

Mr.Meinka was complaining about the way our Clar. sit and hold there insturment. So he decided to make fun of them.
"If you guys practice as much at home as you do when im talking we wouldnt have these issues!"
Clar. about to cry it seems
"Well if you wernt leaning back with your insturment uner your stand"
He puts his wand way out then slowly moves in and puts it in his mouth....
Only Me, Chelsea, and Nate laughed cause not one else got it but he looked at us bright red and said "Oh s**t!"

OMFG.
Today. We went to an elementary school to show what they can accomplish in middle school (since they'll pick their classes), so we were getting ready, and someone goes, "Ooh! You sexy beast! You spicy enchelada! You exotic fruit!" and our BD goes, "...I like Strawberries, they're the best!"
