I remember when a freshmen was yelled at because he never took his reed off his tenor sax, so the teacher dared him to lick the inside of his mouth piece, so of course he did. Those things do get nasty after awhile.

This one Trumpet player in our band was trying out to move up to a better band and he was playing his chromatic scale. He went up perfectly, but stopped after that and said "I can't go down". Everyone, including the band director's(though they tried not to), laughed at it.

Okay this is always funny blaugh My BD had a bad case of what he called his "ADD" moments where we could be talking about something serious then suddenly he's being funny. Well one day Someone in the trumpets asked tried to ask him something only wound up yelling out "A!" My BD turned to look at him and went "A?"
F.Y.I! It was the sound of Fonzy!
We must have spent almost the whole of 15 minutes just saying "A!!!!". Some of us actually put our thumbs up acting like Fonzy just to add to the Atmosphere of the moment.
Okay Second funniest thing!
Our BD got really frustrated one day and went to throw his baton behind him but actually got it stuck in the pegboard like ceiling above him. It was hilarous watching him trying to find it to pick it back up while we were laughing and pointing above him at the ceiling! xd His face was priceless when he finally realized where it was. He had to go into his office and get another one since he couldn't reach the ceiling He wound up using his second one to swing at the first one to try and wiggle it loose! It was so damn funny!! rofl Even though it eventually did fall out of the ceiling his attempts at trying to get it back down was hilarous!! rofl

My wonderful BD has been around for over 40 years. Well she always tell us these little stories to try and make us understand how to count our notes. Well one of these is about wolves.
It is and I quote: "Sixteenth notes and rests are like wolves if you only see three it's that fourth one you gotta worry about"
But of course it's not like our other BD who tends to pick on the drums when they do or say something stupid. She just tends to point it out. And seeing as the drums tend to be morons more often then not, where I come from, we tend to laugh alot.

[.Forgotten.Shadow.] Aheh. For one of our songs for MB, we had to spread our legs real wide and swing from side to side. Our DM and BD kept saying "spread 'em". xD Oh, if you think that's funny, during one of our practices for MB we heard the soccer team listening to the song "Walk It Out." And when we were doing drilling a set Mr. B (BD) looked at us from the tower, and stated, "Well uhh..go walk it out." Haha! And another funny band moment for me was when some people and I were marching backwards into a circle I tripped over the person's feet behind me. And I rolled to my spot. Hahaha!!

I remember that I have a friend (Trumpet player) named Ima and a friend (Euphonium player) named Tasa. One day, we go to a special exercise. We saw Alpin (Baritone&Tuba player, the only boy in team) play Baritone alone, so we join him, and then, when I tell Alpin about 'Shotgun' exercise, Ima and Tasa got laugh. I don't know why, so I asked them, but they don't answer me. Then Alpin go to pick another mouthpiece, than Tasa told me that Alpin's forgot to use the zipper on his pants, and when Alpin back, I try to make my face as usual as I can. But when Alpin sat next to me, I laugh very hard. "What happen, Ocha?" He asked. "Haha.. is your zipper healthy? Hmmphbwahaha!" Then I out my cellphone and make a video when Alpin try to fix his zipper, then we, the girls, laugh harder when Alpin fell from the stair (about two stairs, nothing serious.).
But that make me believe karma. Because we laugh too hard, our coach, Roni, came and ask, "What happen?" we answer, "Nothing." Than Roni give us a new exercise (exercise 4), and when we learn it, I play with my sandals (I wear a special sandals for hiking, that very heavy and thick) and when I must play a high note, I kick my sandal and it hit Roni's face (I play soccer), make all of us laugh (except Roni), and I got a special present, do 200 boy's push up (Boy's push up is when we do push up and our knee can't touch floor). But I feel happy. Than, at Monday, (I don't come to Marching that day) Tasa send me a short message service, told me that Hery, our Band leader, was record all with handy cam and make it as a movie to all of player, brass, percussion, and color guard, so when I go Marching at Thursday, they laugh at me.

I remember last marching season we marched our half time show on a muddy field. At the start of the first song I was marking time on the 50. It was time for me to go to my next spot but, I couldn't move! My feet were stuck in the mud! People were marching around. It took forever to get my feet out that disgusting mud. And when I did get unstuck I lost my balence and fell onto the trumpet player in front of me. He knocked the next guy in front of him. We fell down like dominos. I was so embarassed. redface

Or this one time, when I was in seventh grade, the other baritone dared me to drop my bottle of valve oil down my bell. I was like, no, that's stupid it's gonna get stuck. So he said that he would do it to shou me that it wouldnt. Sure enough, it got stuck, and I had a fun time watching him shake his horn upside down to try and get it out.

in middle school, we won at festival and got this big bag of candy that we were all supposed to share. We waited months and months but never saw a peice of that candy. Finally, Christina aksed Wamu the Whale (our teacher, Mr Whamhoff) when we would get any. He said that he had "lost" it. His office was filled with candy wrappers.
Playing the p***s game in class

Magic Music Days my junior year. We went to the Sinbad Show, because that's where the awards ceremony was being held, and they said that they needed a BD to help them, and our band went crazy, so they chose ours.
He had to dance, and he's by NO means a small person. Just imagine a fat, white, balding man doing the cabbage patch. xD
Also, we put our bassoonist in a trash can. That's always fun.

first
okay, during rookie camp, an 8th grader starte marching the tuba, now I'm about 5'6" and when I hugged him he had two lovely pillows so he was really short and he had a pillow to help cushion his shoulder. whenever they took a water break he just tossed the pillow in the bell... BIG mistake. on the third day the pillow actually caught on fire in the tuba. it was lucky that someone happened to look over and say, "is that tuba smoking?"
second
first time we marched our entire show from start to finish at a football game one of the new trombone members, monica, lost her slide in the middle of the first song... we played 4. we all laughed about it later but she was mortified at the time.
lowbrass always has the most fun... in my experience... and the percussion.

Moment Numero Un (Francais I Final Tomorrow - I'm supposed to be studying):
We were marching in the parking lot out front of the school because the soccer team was on the football field. We were stopped, listening to our BD and his mom (the m.s. BD - I miss her) lectured us on our position and blah, blah, blah. One of our euphonium (the baritone type things if I'm wrong) people (David) wasn't wearing a belt. Well, his pants fell down while he was just standing there.
Then, after he pulled up his pants, our DM (Jeremy) offered him his belt because David's pants wouldn't stay up. The m.s. BD told Jeremy not to give it to David unless his own pants would stay up. He said that his pants were tight enough to stay up.
Then my friend (Katie, we're both clarinets) says "What happened?" I thought I couldn't laugh anymore before she said that!
Moment Numero Deux:
We're at our first marching festival ever for our school (We're a new school - experienced marchers were sophmores from another high school in the district.) I decided to get a t-shirt because it was my first marching competition ever (me freshmen). Lynette (percussionist) and Katie (from above) came with me. I look at the back of the t-shirt and say, "Hey, our school's on here!"
Lynette says, "Where?" and then something dawned on her: "All of the schools are on here!"
Katie, having missed what Lynette said, wanted to see our school's name on the shirt. Then, when she knew what we were laughing about before she said anything laughed with us.
We laughed for about 10 mins. about that. Lynette says the lady at the stand was mad at us for taking so long.
That's not even the dumbest thing I did all weekend. Let's just say it's not smart to roll up a car window from outside the car.
I'll let you know if I have any more.

Last year, for like the first month, my band had a BD that played for the army. Quite scary. Anyway!
We were practicing for the winter show, and somehow the BD started talking about how they would have to shower together in order to be ready on time. As soon as the BD said "together" one of the clarinet players sitting next to me threw up into his clarinet. It ran through and the custodian came in and was like "Story about the showers, huh?"
