Our band director, Mr. Harris, is the funniest guy I know. There are many 'harris-isms' but instead I shall share with you a story of my fav teacher!
My freshman year (three years ago) we were out on the football feild at around 2 (during band class!) preforming Music For A Modern World. We got to the hit in the Opener, and everyone on the field is at a halt, and Mr. Harris runs up into the bleachers to see how it sounds up top.
Half way up one of the bleacer boards cracked, and he fell through. At first all we could do was stare. Then he pulled himself up, swearing like a sailor. None of us had ever heard him swear and so we knew something was wrong.
He said he was fine, grabed some bandaids out of a box and had to force this gapping wound shut and then countinued with band practice until six that evening.
After practce, he had bleed through a box of bandaids, and so went to the hospital. We found out the fall had ripped off his knee cap. He needed about sixteen steches to close it.
So his doc tells him to take it easy right? So guess what he does next.
Thats right, he goes to fix his roof. AND FELL OFF
Goes back to the hospital, they tell him he has to take it easy or he may never walk without a cane! So what does Mr. Harris do? Nothing out of the ordinary. Two Orch. classes, a Jazz class, a guitar class, a band class, and marching band *diff class* and then practice after school till six and saturday from 9-5.
But he did consider retiaring for a while... We told him we'd hunt him down if he left before all of us graduated.
Now you can only see his limp if he runs though. sweatdrop

Well, my band director is balding and only has the toilet seat looking hair (you know, it only goes around part of his head). One day, he told a guy in band who had really crazy hair that he hated his hair because he couldn't grow anything.
Another one was a really annoying kid in band that everyone hates asked our band director what he would do if he won the lottery. The band director said he would be happy and leave so that he would never have to see that kid again.
I guess they are kind of you had to be there moments.

my teacher, Ms. Hruby one day was talking to us in Jazz band about her incident while conducting at a competition for the orchestra. ((By the way, she's talking to a bunch of band w=kids who don't know the..."anatomy" of a string instrument))
"So I was conducting and then the baton fell out of my hand and went right into the 1st chair cello's F hole!"
and everyone in Jazz band just looked at eachother thinking "Baton+F-hole=secks" XD!! and we all just started laughing, then she got all "WHAT ARE YOU KIDS THINKING, ITS THE PART OF THE CELLO!" it was awesome.

[Karu] My band teacher made us march, and we were all spreading apart from eachother and he said "Your not a mraching band, your a loose confederation of rebelious magazine editors." That was so funny xd Kim was wearing a ghetto hat and he said "Are we da marching band in da hood?!?!" We were matching while the drummers were playing a kadence, and Koby yelled out "I DONT KNOW BUT IVE BEEN TOLD!!!" And the band teacher replied "KOBY IS AN IMBASOL!" And we had to put rubber shoes on our chairs so the chairs wouldn't scratch the gym floor and Mr. Bjorna said "Put the rubbers on the chairs so the floor doesn't get pregnant. He is a wierd guy... Tll me the wierd things band teachers have said to you, I apollogize if this is a repeat thread. Wow I wish our band directers were more like yours... Our stupid band directors always tell us to do the sets with step-recovers. I HATE THEM.

Our teachers always say "We're bound to get fired someday" or something along those lines because they're always telling these crazy jokes.
~~
Before we departed for Great America Mr. D. said that we shouldn't call him unless we were just getting on a ride at the same time as check in or if it was an emergency. He said that his idea of an emergency was if somebody fell off a rollercoaster and had to make one last phone call before they died, they should call him and say "I'm dying. Send help."
~~
We're playing a song called The Stripper and our tuba players do a dance to it so our teacher said to play it as though they were thrusting child-bearing hips rofl
~~
Again during The Stripper the trombones were playing something sloppily I guess and so Mr. D. was like "You're playing as though the stripper is..what's a good way to put this..intoxicated."
~~
More to come later :]]
My BD's are amazingly funny.

OK, my band director is a nutcase. We use a drum corps style of marching, you know, roll stepping and sliding and suchlike. So in order to keep our upper body still nomatter what our feet are doing, we have to squeeze our buttcheeks together real tight.
Mr Krostag's phrase for this is not, 'Squeeze your butt.' Oh no, his words are, "Squeeze them grapes!"
4 years ago I heard him yell that and fell over laughing. I was then forced to do 45 pushups. I don't think I've ever laughed at attention again.

Mr. Karth (our band director): See, I think you people get the wrong idea, like, when I say, Brent (fellow alto sax player) that sounds bad, you need to work on it, you hear, Brent, your a horrible person and i take comfort in the fact that someday you will die.
Mr. Karth: Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm scitzophrentic, and so am i. No your not! Yes I am! No your not! (starts conducting)

Ah, good ol' Mr. Boucher. (Say it the Boston way, "Booshay"!)
--
Clarinet 1: Mr. Boucher!
Mr. Boucher: ...WHAT?
Clarinet 1: My instrument is broke! Do you have a clarinet screwdriver?
Mr. Boucher: No, you're a minor...can't serve you alcohol this early in the morning.
--
(We in the Pit were cutting up, as usual.)
Mr. Boucher: HEY, LOOK AT ME, DAMMIT. MAKE ME FEEL IMPORTANT.
Me: Someone has self-esteem issues...
--
Frankly, anything he says is funny-sounding, because he's from Boston and his accent is really thick, and very noticeable in Central Texas.
