My band director in Junior high was getting ticked off by the drummers' constant talking, so he leaned back on his poadium bar and yelled "Hey guys!" in this really gay voice.
The other day my band director now in High school (one of 'um anyway, we have 3) waited until everyone that was being loud were quiet, and said. "Let us all take a moment of silence for those of us who will no longer be with us in a bit because of their constant talking."

My band teacher is funny, but I can't remember most of the things he said *coughbadmemorycough*.
This has no relation to band practice, but it involves my director.
My friend made a personality quiz (you were either an elf, mermaid, human, or gnome). We gave it to our band director. One of the questions was:
You see a dead body lying in the road. What do you do?
a. Call an ambulance
b. Scream and run around in circles
c. Stare at it for a moment, then calmly walk away.
d. Poke it. The best things in life are free!
When Mr. Cleveland (yes, that's our band instructor. It was historic when our band trip was actually TO Cleveland wink ) read that, he said "you girls are insane" we said "thank you!" Then he looked at us like we're insand (well, i guess we are.) It's funnier if you were actually there.
Then there's our student teacher. We ("we" being me and my friend Marisa) were at band practice, and the trumpets sit right behind us. I went to turn the page of our music, and i felt the paper vibrating ('cause the trumpets right behing us were playing really loud; sound waves making the paper vibrate). I said to Marisa "whoa, the paper's vibrating!" She felt it and then we called over the teacher. By then, the trumpets had stopped playing. We were like, "the music was vibrating, i swear!". She looked at us with that "are you sure you're not crazy?" look and said, "are you guys ok? Or did you forget to take your medicine this morning!?" We laughed until Mr. Cleveland told us that we had to focus (some 10 minutes later). Again, it was funnier if you were actually there

ok I wasn't there at the time but I remember hearing this from friends...
So my band director's name is Mr. Grantham and we also had this assistant band director named Mr. Draper so one day Mr. Draper was walking in the room to contuct a piece and Mr. Grantham says "Here's Daaaaaa Raper!" And the entire class stopped and stared at him for a while until a few minutes later he goes, "...oh, wait..."
That and my band director comes up with really odd saying when tring to get us enthusiastic about a moment so he says stuff like, "Make the audience throw their babies" or "play measure one through the 'shake and bake'."

ok. the funniest thing my teacher said...
was when our class was playing a beautiful amazing song... it was slow but difficult..
we had all been struggling with it.
then one day, we ALL did it perfectly, and she said quite loudly
"omg... its to beautiful.... its a musical orgasm!"
after she said that, players all made funny noises with their instruments because they were laughing so hard.
i was so disturbed.
but i didnt mind cause my (ex) teacher, kick serious butt.

My band teacher Mrs. Xydas (Middle School) always says the funniest things! One time she said "You clarinets sounds like geece!" ANd told us never to sound like that and one day she told us TO sound like geece! ANd sometimes she gets her words mixed up and sounds like redundant beyond belief and then she laughs at herself!

We were out marching the other day for practice, and we were really sucking. So, my teacher takes his microphone off, throws it on the ground, jumps down from the bleachers, and yells at us,
"YOU GUYS SOUND LIKE A GROUP OF INTOXICATED MANNEQUINS, MARCHING CORRECTLY DAMNIT!"
We laughed, then did a tiny bit better, but the drumline screwed up really badly, so he yelled at one,
"LOOK! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SOUND BEAUTIFUL, LIKE THE LITTLE MERMAID'S FREAKING 'KISS THE GIRL' SONG. YOU SOUND LIKE..."
He began singing the song in a loud, screeching voice.
"YOU WANT TO FREAKING SOUND LIKE...."
He sang it melodically and beautifully. xD;
I love my band teacher.

My first day of band at a new school with a new band and director, my teacher was introducing herself, saying all kinds of funny little things. But she started talking about how she's like, never ever mean to anyone. That was followed by something like this...
"Well, most of you guys already know that at worst, I'm really just a total cupcake."
And she says it in this like...I guess, it's a cute, sort of high pitched voice, which is her normal tone. I found it highly amusing, but also true. She didn't yell angrily or reprimand anyone once the whole eighty minute block. O.O
Later on, she started calling out that a percussionist had left their planner and stuff over by the chairs, while I was taking to her. And one of the percussionists had walked up behind her....As she started calling it, Chris was just like "...oh...", and walked over to pick them up, and she kept shouting, and so I pointed over at Chris. She was like "Oh...Okay then! Thank you, Chris!". I just started laughing...I guess it was just the way she kept shouting after he'd gone to get it and the look on his face.

xAsenath Mr. Lovell was tuning the saxes, and when he got to the section leader he said "Sharp" because he's always sharp. He doesn't even bother.
Whenever someone plays a note out-of-tune, he twitches. Or scratches the board with his nails.
Whenever someone does something extremely wrong (playing wise), he tells them to go sit in the drum cabinet. Which is small.
Whenever someone (particularly a section leader) can't keep they're section right/in tune, he tells them that they'll have to vacuum the band room floor with their teeth while we watch and throw bits of paper down at him. (That room is disgusting.) Our Bd looks the other way, covers his face and sighes when someone makes a big mistake-really funny. xd
