Oaky, so we haev this thing called a magadral dinner at my school. And the whole singing pplz and a few selected band pplz do it. And we all dress up midevil. So the singers are all memeber of the court, all nice dressed and all. Then, we have...the band. We hae to dress in velvent potato sacks. And since i am 5ft tall.... i look like a kintergatner in it. and then we had to wear brets. So i look like a "Frech kintergarnter" and now its the joke. "Kindergarnter, do u need your napy wapy?"
And The durmmer and i always play 2 mesures extra and then laugh about it.

Oh God too many to name them all...
We have the "gingies..."
Aka our two red headed, freckled, pink skinned tenor players...
And Whenever Cody(lead trumpet) misses a few days,
Mr. Heal(conductor) makes comments about how Cody's probably sitting at home sleepign in the mornign and playing the latest video games in the after noon....
Then he says to Cody when he gets back:
"How are your thumbs?"
And Cody never gets it...
And Nathaniel who can show up 2 days out of the whole semester and still pass all his courses with like 99.9%...
And in Jazz band we joke about how Mandi is ALWAYS late and how it'll never change because she's prolly doing her hair...
And how her Jill and Amanda always have coffee and how it's amazing when they bring their own and don't have to share... xD
Good times at 7am...

Ok well.
Last year my friend Jessi ((She plays Bass Clarenet)) decided to light Mr. Rink ((my band director)) 's pants on fire. We haven't gone through with it but we are going to carry it on though the legassy.
Now, behind Mr.Rink's back, me and Jaxon and Paris ((Jaxon Bass Clarenet, Paris french horn)) ww call him Rinky Dink. And we switched some words around in the Grinch Song.
"You're a mean one, Mr.Rink" Lol.

DON'T SQUASH THE DOVE
It's what my BD says when ever we cut a note short.
When you're on stage, you're like chickens in a roastery.
Refering to the hot-lights on stage.
WATER BOTTLE'D!!!
My BD got angry at some one, and pretended to chuck a water bottle at him. It slipped, and it him in the face. Now whenever we see water bottles, we crack up.
Mr. E, we have come for your Tacos.
Mr. E is our BD, and one day we snuck up on him eating a taco. One of my friends clasped a hand on his shoulder, and said in a very serious voice 'Mr. E, we have come for your Tacos.' It was hysterical, he was in shock. XD
I knew I'd regret turning the Alto's into chainsaws.
Last year, the Altos wouldn't play loud enough. So, he used a chain saw metephor. Now we can't get them to shut it. XD;
WAKE UP CLICKS!!!!
They yell that at me whenever I fall asleep in band... It's always when the flutes are playing. 8D;

Our Lower Brass section, (er, me and six others xD) found this stand that was heavily graffitied and said "your gay" on it. So we frequently talk about "our gay."
i.e: "My gay thinks you're flat."

We have many, but the best is probably the one that us flutes have. In our grade 10 year our conductor was Mr Wei (an old Chinese man) and he was leading us into a song and he said "One...two...three... MILK IT!"
It was really funny because of his age and his slight accent, except only the flutes heard him, so we were laughing really hard.
Mr Wei has retired, but if anyone mentions him the flutes just have to look at each other and we burst out laughing.

-"Nutnits!" When Mr.Redd our band director brought his son one day, we heard him say this, and now we yell it out randomly, it is supposed to be 'nuggets' like chicken nuggets.
-"We will visit BARINOOBA!" My friend was switching from trumpet to tuba, so my other friend decided that she was going to have her go on an adventure, so I had to come up with a name for a baritone like name. Hence, barinooba. People use it.

1. Get Dr. Beat out (the metronome that lopez the director connects to a very loud speaker for the field)
2. Lopez: Do it again!!!
Band: woo!!! yeah!!! *cheering*
3. warm feezy time
at first it was fuzzy time because our bad director was new, and we had to get to know eachother, but we decided that our director was somewhat gangster and change just about everything into white gangster talk

I have a couple from HS and a few from college...
1. Sex on the Beach - a song that someone either made up or knows from something... anyway, the horn section would always start playing the short melody and then the other sections would join in until the percussion was playing. Then everyone else would clap along. I heard that their tour shirts from last year had a SAX on a beach and it made me really happy 3nodding
2. "Just remember - you are the coolest kids in school and don't you forget it!" - I went to a Lutheran HS so we had to play for chapel some times. One time we were just not in the mood to do it and our BD goes, "What's the matter? Don't want to play for all your little friends? They'll love it! Just remember - you are the coolest kids in school and don't you forget it! Yeah, baby!" It was the pep talk of a lifetime. I love it. heart
3. "Rainbows!" - my college BD is a very emotional guy and says a lot of funny things and he often describes crescendos/decrescendos as rainbows or other "fluffy" things...
4. "Hello Wind Symphony...I love you guys!" - every phone message includes those phrases smile
5. I have to explain this next one because it's more of a visual thing. Our college BD travels a lot for recruitment trips and one day he left a funny message on our voicemail about how he might be late to rehearsal because his traffic on the highway was bad and his flight was delayed and a whole group of reasons. Anyway, he makes it to rehearsal but his hair, which is always parted the same way, was stuck to his forehead in three dark strands. He looked emo. rofl We were confused for the first part of rehearsal because we thought he might have tried a new style but we realized he was just sweaty... Now, whenever we want to laugh at something, one of us will put three fingers on our forehead and say "rainbows!" Gets me every time... 4laugh
