Classic one from our band...
'Oops...'
Then there's the band director's 'One mo' 'gain' which turns into four or five or ten more times...
Then there's one the BD has about our drum major Eric 'Where's my Sonic burger and fries?' Eric had made a promise to bring the BD a meal from there, but forgot about it... Never did get around to it, not before graduation anyway xp

1. I Hate Thomas Choi Club....evryone hated this senior clarenet player because he was a butt-head and extremly good at playing the clarinet so we made up this club and even our teacher joked about it(especiall because he helped form the joke...)
2. Our band director likes westerns alot... I mean ALOT!!!! so after we do concerts and such he has to say "Yipee Yipee Yipee" before we can go.
3. Dead Batterie award of the year.. Whenever the batteries in the tuner we use go out my band director makes a formal thing about giving them to this person and this person... last year I was a winner 4laugh .
there are plenty more but i can't think of them right now.

So, I have some inside band jokes from middle school cause Stevens was that effin awesome.
So there was this third trumpet player named Johnny. Johnny wasn't the brightest of boys. One day we were playing a piece (I can't remember which one) and it called for it to be Largo. Johnny asked what that meant. We all turned to look at him in shock and horror. Then Mr. Stevens says 'You Johnny.' The entire band breaks out into giggles. From then on, Johnny was known as Largo. Even on tests when we were asked what Largo was, Stevens would say 'NOT Johnny.'
Sadly, Johnny was the brunt of many jokes. Because he played third trumpet he had the odd parts. The harmonies, the off beats, so on and so forth. One day, Mr. Stevens used this metaphor to help explain to Largo what he was supposed to do on the piece.
"Johnny, you're like a cupcake, no. You're like the sprinkles on the cake. You have to be the sprinkles Johnny! Be the SPRINKLES!" From that day on, no one referred to him by his given name. Sprinkles of Largo. Golly I miss Stevens.

3.yelling KAKAW( xp geez I started this one too)
4.Yelling out a random bandies name, then telling them to turn around when they do so(finally one I didn't start)
and of course
5.Bluffton water will either kill you, mutilate you, or make you stronger, but mostly kill you

Mainly, the only one that the whole class knew, was who I would kiss in the class. But that's because a the only bass player in the class was looking really sick and we started talking about who would give him CPR if he chocked on his own vomit. [Yea, I know CPR wouldn't work for that.] Well, I had picked up a book and stopped paying much attention so Mr. Blake shouts out over the mic "[my name]! Would you kiss him if it saved his life?" I looked up and him like a deer stuck in the headlights of an oncoming car.
[slightly resembles this for those of you who don't come across that: eek only paler.]

Eh, the only one I can think of now is Flute Boy. We have only one male flute player who never does anything remarkable and was super quiet the entire year. I never really learned his name. Anyway, we do a band Secret-Santa every year. I was lucky enough to pull his name. When I got it, I was confused since I had NO idea whose name this belonged to, and eventually my friend told me when I asked her. Now, I had never even spoken to this guy, let alone knew his name. Had no idea what to get him whatsoever. I wound up buying him some chocolate, and by the time Christmas came, I forgot his name again, so I just put "For Flute Boy" on the card.
He laughed, don't worry. He thought I was kidding when I told him -_-
I think his name was Rian or something.

hahaha, oh so many jokes!
A few years ago, we were playing a latin piece called Buenaventura. Our director has a thing for latin pieces, and apparently we weren't playing it quite right, so she jumps up and says "It needs to be more seductive! Picture a tent filled with silk and satin, and in the middle is a beautiful, scantly-dressed woman who's lying on a rug. Then a big, buff, matador dressed in a red shirt comes in, sweeps her up, and starts slow dancing with her - ", and our director starts to act this out, dancing and swinging her hips in front of us (who are yelling at her "ok, OK WE GET IT!!!)! And my friend turns to me and says "One question - who's the woman?" And we almost fell off our chairs laughing! It entered band legend after that. lol
This same director went on to fall flat on her face in front of the entire band during a St. Patrick's day parade, while trying to pick up beads off the road. xd She was fine, but she will never live it down and had to endure several gag gifts of band-aids during a concert.

1. "thank you, but no" that's what one of the BDs at my school says whenever we offer him snacks (healthy ones too, sometimes) so now my friend Allegra and I will say "thank you... but no" getting longer each time because that's how the BD does it.
2. "how's the weather up there" rofl in pep band, the flutes and clarinets are pretty much exiled to the very back of the bleachers. the only ones behind us are percussion during football season.
3. "chihuahua"
4. "like scissors in a wall"
5. "marching like pregnant women"
6. "Adam's tuba peed" we were practicing marching for a parade so long that at the end when one of the tuba players emptied his spit valve, it kept emptying for a while. it was a sizeable puddle. rofl

"Squeeze that marble!"
Gah, hated that girl. She was teaching us drill, but she sucked at it. Worst band year ever.
This was supposedly a way to make our posture better when marching; to pretend a marble was in our butts.
And then there came the quote that made the band laugh for a while...
Drill instructor: "Mike! Where's your drill?"
Mike: "With my marble."
Guard joke:
"I always get elevators and escalators mixed up."
Colorguard had to learn from a DVD, and the teacher on the DVD was really flamboyant in his sayings, reminders, tips, etc. So we would make fun of him. A lot.
"Make a pretty bouquet of flowers. Isn't it pretty? Now, suddenly you don't like the flowers, so knock them over!"
Describing a wind-up flippy thing. I prefer saying that than referring to the love/hate relationship with flowers.
And last one:
Dave: "Hey Ricky." *picks up megaphone and speaks through it* "I have a megaphone."
Ricky: "Damn it!" *does ten pushups*

1.*plays 16th note runs perfectly, then messes up quarter and half notes*
2."It's the hippie vortex!" Band director tried to throw a water bottle in the trash can and Chris (hippie type person) walks by and it doesn't make it. dumb hippie vortex. XD
3. (mostly drummers) If you don't have your music, what have you been doing this whole period?
4."He funked it up"
5."Don't write on the dog!"
6. We love Fairchild, Mr. F, Father Fairchild, Fairychild, F-child, etc.
7."Let's play Amazing Grace really loud and out of tune and annoy Mr. Ney!" (orchestra director)
8."We're going to the 'Jazz Hands' set!"
9."What we scored? *flips fastly through flipfile for the fight song*
10."It's time for the Ultimate Hey song!"
