"Okay! You gotta get DOWN and DIRTY at measure (insert number here)"
WE've told Ms. Ervin that she probably needs to change that before the principal walks in and hears.
Talking about a song we just played that wasn't good enough...
Mrs. E- "Okay, we have our Christmas tree, and it sounds really good, now we need to decorate it and add the sticatos and accents and..."
Random Band Person- "But, Mrs. Ervin, it's Halloween..."
Mrs. E- "Okay, so we have our pumpkin..."
Then we have an inside joke that every single person involved with the music department knows. Mrs. Ervin play golf (or, is trying to, rather) and when she goes to practice her swings and things, there always happens to be this group of kids that are learning to play. In said group is this kid that she doesn't know the name of that always sings and dances before he (attempts) to hit the ball. So, one day, around Thanksgiving, little dude decides that he will sing, "Doin the Turkey dance!!!" befire swinging. So, as we walk down the halls, some random person will go "ONE, TWO, THREE!!!" and the rest of us will go "DOin' the Turkey Dance!!!" It's rather fun! smile

"Trumpets are like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get. In this case, rotten schocolate."
For some reason, instead of "from the top" my BD said "Frommie the toppie." Then one of the drummers pawed through his folder and said, "I don't think we have that." We never let him forget it.

Our band techer calls our Drummers "Dummers"
Because they sovery do not listen to him and they start in
the wrong places.
And they always learn the music slow but they come through for us.

Our band director said "You need to blow more, woodies". But he didn't pause at the comma.

garcia (our band director) says many funny things..most of them are analogies
like today, the fourth clarinets dont like to play very loud, so he gets this enthusiastic look on his face and just yells "u guys r small players! but thats ok, u should be like the smurfs! *crazy looks from band* the smurfs are so little, but they do such BIG things!! cmon girls!"
then there was a time when one kids stepmom brought in a huge bag of cheeseburgers for him. we were all sitting there, and garcia came walking up. thinking garcia would want a cheeseburger, he yelled "hey garcia, heads up!" and as he threw the wrapped cheeseburger, garcia stopped in his tracks. it hit his chest and bounced off, and garcia gets the most innocent look on his face and says "did u just throw a cheeseburger at me?". then he picked it up and walked back to his office and ate it!

Ok, Jedi Master was trying to get the trumpets to play louder during marching band season, but they weren't listening to him. He started to get mad, but kept saying "I'm not mad, I'm not mad." He made them play a part of the song, and Scott (trumpet player) wasn't playing right. Jedi Master went ballistic and started screaming that he wasn't allowed to play. He turned back around and his face was bright red. He smiled cheesily and said "I'm not mad." It sounds corny, but it was really funny.
Another one was that we were all practicing and we were all out of tune, the whole band. He stopped and started freaking out (like screaming ahhh). He mumbled some stuff, then went "good night nurse"
That was pretty funny too. But Jedi Master's cool!!!

I think one of the funniest things one of our band directors said was right after this horribly scary band bug basicly attacked me on the band field during drill and Mrs. E(her real name is mrs.Ezel but we all call her mrs.E and Mr.Wayde just wayde and Mr. Holmes Holmesie XD) just so happened to wittness it and she said "That thing just shows up sometimes we don't know what exactly it is yet but atleast it doesn't live in the band room like hardgrove" and at that time hardgrove was passing by and he goes "I love you to mrs.E" It's so much funnier if you were acctualy there
Something else funny that happened was when our band went to the hoover competition (which is the biggest band competition in the state of alabama) they were announcing the scores and the winners and stuff and it got to our band's class and they were pausing a long time and everyone was freaked out and all of a sudden holmesie started randomly screaming to make us all less nervous it was so funny XD

My band director likes to make puns to songs when we play 'em badly and during marching season we just began to play Another One Bites The Dust and she stopped us and said "I think that song just bit the dust".
This happened weeks ago, but we had stopped playing Silver Bells and she was telling the trumpets how they sounded at this one part. So she sings their part and then she leans her face in and yells that part really loud to tell them that they played too loud there. But it was so funny and this one trumpet guy was like "I've been scarred for life". Those probably weren't that funny, but those were the only one's I could think of sweatdrop

Well our band director doesn't really say anything funny, but when we went to New York City this year as our band trip he got lost. It was hilarious we had to wait for about 30 minutes before he found the bus, and he had been running around trying to find it.
