1. Tromboners. I.E. "You tromboners have to play louder"
2. Clarinet playing in general. There are so many dirty jokes about this, one accidentally made by our BD. "You have to blow HARDER!" And of course everyone burst out laughing, and the tuba player was in the middle of a pedal note... Not pretty. The sound, that is.

When we learn our marching routine, we're supposed to remember our spots, so at each stopping point, the sax section leader would call out "Circle!" and all the saxophones would spin in place, stomping the grass into a nice little dot. Some other sections do it too now.
One of our school rivals is well known for performing concert music on the field (their marching is great, but the music sucks). So, last year they were doing ballet and near the end of the last movement, they come to this "dramatic" part where they all get in a block near the back of the field and slowly march to the front. In the rest right before they did that, their band director yelled "Bring it home!" loudly enough for everyone to hear him. Yeah.... we say that a lot now.

So we hav an inside joke that actually comes off a youtube video. Our senior drum major, a saxophone player, and a timpani man made this video where they go around our town and do the party boy dance to random people/things. One of the clips was where they went into our band director's office during a meeting and started doing it.
So now, whenever we hear 'everytime we touch' and dukart's around, he gets mobbed.

Okay, our band's motto is "Unleash the Sound", and two years ago, we got these black shirts that said unleash the sound on them in black lettering. But the o in sound looked like a Q and when the band members would put on their bibbers, it would cover up part of the N in sound. So, it looked like SQUID. At our first game, the drumline yelled "Hey Mr. Paul! Unleash the Squid!" at our band director and started a tradition that followed us all the way to state that year. We had a giant, orange stuffed squid on one of our show props at state. His name was J. Paul Kalamari. We auctioned him off at the band auction later that year. UNLEASH THE SQUID!!!

My band has taken to clapping and cheering when people come back from the bathroom. We were on our way to Disneyland, and that's about 2 hours away from school, and someone forgot to "go" before we left. So, once we got to Disneyland, he had to run to the bathroom, and everyone cheered when he came back. And thus, began the bathroom clapping.

-Jamie. (Marching bands from miles away hate her too)
-Anthony has his own list.
There's more but they're mostly between me and one of my friends, not the whole band.

All the clarinets are the childern of the black stick. And I am a child incogneto because I play the flute but I hang out with alot of clarienet players.
Me and a few friends call my band director Bob. But that's a long story involving a squashed doughnut stick, a lunch table, and much laughter.

 1.] God. Our snare drummer was named God. This is because our old snare drummer left during a game and our current snare (bass drum at the time) came to the rescue.
2.] Adolf Jebus, God's son. He's a freshmen quints player that's just as awesome as God.
3.] The Virgin Jessica. Adolf's mother.
4.] King Arthur. Adolf's other father and Ruler of Lands. We have a friend named Arthur and we call him this.
5.] Dora the Explorer, Swipper, and the chocolate lake. It was on the plane ride back from a band trip. A few friends where watching Dora the Explorer. One of them became Dora, the other Swipper, and we always have jokes about the chocolate boat and the chocolate river.
5.1] Swipper the SNEEEAAAKY fox! (In addition to the above joke)
6.] Loom. It's Woot upside-down.
7.] The little guys. Or BD's children. (His name is Mr. Guy)
8.] The Constitution. My boyfriend made a Pep Band Constitution.

Everything will be okay in the end; We have a lot.
Our BD likes making fun of our tuba players.
One day we had a lockdown drill during band.
They went into the extra instrument storage concert,
BD: Sam, are you and Connor in the closet together? Come out of the closet already!
Everyone who didn't perform their solo at festival had to do it in front of the band.
Both tubas had to do theirs, and they had the same solo so they wanted to play together.
BD: Okay, any questions about solos today?
Tuba player: Can me and Sam do it together?
BD: Do what together?
For our ensemble, we were playing Beethoven's 7th.
Baritone player: Didn't Beethoven go deaf composing?
Me: Didn't Beethoven die?
Last year we played really badly, and so we'd say we sounded like dying cows.
And so whenever a section would play we'd all look at each other and say they were going cow tipping.
This year I show up with a cow pencil in my band folder. XD
One day I was playing too softly so my BD made me write "BLOW" on my music.
My mom saw and asked me if I was a whale.
So now I tell this to my section,
Now we have whales drawn on our music.
if it's not okay, then it's not the end.
