Shunsuke Akagi Witch Kari Shunsuke Akagi Today our BD was conducting really hard, standing up on his podium stand thing with the brass, and suddenly his baton flew out of his hand and hit a bass clarinet on top of the head. xd And Jones says in this almost monotonous voice (you can tell he's about to laugh though) "Whoops. Sorry." and he gets this HUGE grin on his face. eek xd that sounds mean sad \ Our BD does that all the time...Usually she takes out a flute or the oboe player. She hasn't got enough arm to take out one of us Bass Clarinets, though, I'm sure it would be more intentional if that happened...Last time, she managed to hit herself in the head with it before the baton went sailing behind her...then it hit the chalk board...

Erisad bushytailedfreak Number_09 During "The Great Locomotive Chase:" Mr. B - Sam, did you pick a note? Sam: Yeah... Mr. B - What note did you pick? *Sam holds up fingerings* Mr. B - Now, did you PLAY that note? Sam: No... <_< >_> LOL We played that too...... The french horns were going to pick a note and Mr. Dunham said `okay, everyone, measure (insert measure name here)` So, we started there, and when we were playing and we all braced ourselves for the pick a note, all the horns played the exact same note! BD just kind of cut us off and sat there. He said`okay, from the top' and we all just burst out laughing I played that in middle school too. Ditto. My first solo was in that piece. ^^

Whenever we get to a really big crescendo she just lets it fly and usually takes out a flute or, on a good day, a second row clarinet. She blames it on a hand reflex; when it tenses too much it just springs back. I asked her if she'd like a tube of crazy glue instead of the scented candle set I was thinking of as a Christmas gift.

One of the instructors tried to say "Strive for Profection" but instead he said," Strive for Protection" It was hilarious...

Ok my keyboard just went retarded on me and made me go back two pages.
Anyways once when weren't keeping tempo our band director yelled "You've got to tap something down there!"
And in the post I just typed (and then lost) I rambled on about how my director also hits people with his baton- on accidnet and purpose and how he got paid back by a percussionist and this plastic tube pipe thing we use for sound effects.

There was also this one day when our Band Director brought up Sherly Jones or something and said that when he was our age she was hot and when he sees a picture of Britany Spears he thinks she's gross. We all stood up and clapped for him.

My band director has made his own words. There was one day when he was trying to get the trumpets to sound like one trumpet. He ended up saying at the end, "now we've increased the *insert word that nobody in the band can remember* of the speakage of the trumpets." It was great. Altough my director uses a baton, it's never flown out of his hand or anything.

Number_09 Erisad I played that in middle school too. It's a fun and relatively easy piece. ^__^ A lot of funny sayings have come out of it in our band. Oh yeah...the music teacher next door came in while we were playing and said, "Hey, my flex class is trying to figure out what you're playing? Is it a choo choo?" This is a full grown man saying "choo choo". Oh! Then he left his flex class and took out his trombone and played with us! xd

my friends and i are always writing down things that our band teacher has said and my favorite one would have to be "I don't care if you're trying!! I don't care if you're sacrificing your children!! F Sharp is NOT F Natural!!"

"Ok...I'm going to say a bad word, hope you're not offended..." xd

My band teacher is really nice, but during rehersal one of the seventh grade clarinets couldn't put her instrument together rolleyes So my director was like, "Get out of here and don't come back until you can line up two pieces of metal." It doesn't seem funny now, but it was at the time.
