the funniest thing my band teacher said was the trumpets need to blow straight like a elephants trunk and not down like a monkey's butt

We were doing are drill, so he goes, "Drill to the position of attention!" "Heels!......Together!" "Stomach!.....In!" and so on until we get to "eyes!.....Ford!" No, not forward, FORD, and he goes, actually I prefer Chevy's myself, and went into this whole explanation about his favorite cars.
We were playing "Instant Concert" which has 30 pieces of famous music combined on 2 pages, and one is about chickens, or something, and the clarinets and flutes play, but the rest of the class claps on the offbeats, and my BD comes from Alabama (with a banjo on his knee blaugh ), so it was like he was back in "the good ol' days" and he leans over his chair, lifts his leg up, and starts bouncing on the chair and clapping, and really getting into it. eek It was a little scary.

We were on a bus ride to a competition and me, the director, mallory, and angela were all talking.
i don't know what moreau (our director) said, but mallory said, "mr. moreau, don't pick on her."
right on cue, mr. moreau turned around and said, mimiking me, "mommy, mommy! mr. moreau's picking on me!"
we all just busted up laughing.

My band director will yell "Less sucking, more blowing" at us, anytime he thinks we're not doing as well as we should.
He's always teasing our Alto player, then right before Christmas break, he's like "I'm just mean to him because all I want for Christmas is his body". (Sax player is a swimmer). We all laughed for like 5 minutes, it just sounded bad.

my favorit thing that my director ever said is that we were standing on the football feild during marching practice and the foot ball coachs came over and said that they needed the foot ball feild so Schaub called us all over to where he was standing and was all like 'we have to go they want the feild' and we all complaind and he was like ' i know it sucks balls' and then he realized what he said and said, 'ok so i really shoudent have said that, sorry' and then dismissed practice. that was so funny.

Quoting Chris Farley ("Well, la-dee-frickin'-da!"). And it's sometimes kind of weird when he's talking to us about our uniforms before we have a concert and he mentions that the shirts are white ("Ladies, please make sure your bra is white, don't wear a black bra, or green, or blue, or teddy bears.").

Our music said "con sord" or something that means we need a mute. So our teacher says "Pick up your sords," and doing so, I hold mine up and reply "Do short sords count?"
It might not have been just the band director, but it was amusing enough for other people to laugh.

"This is not the Burger King, You cannot have it YOUR Way!"
and
For the concert, we got him a box of cheerios (long story), and a Ben Wallace Afro (Mr. B's going bald). Then later, he was saying that he was thinking about more of a Michael Jordan look, and one of the idiot trumpet players goes, "But He's bald!" The class just sorta stared at him. stare Maybe you had to be there. Still, it's funny.

Our band director Mrs.Fortin has to be one of the funniest band directors I know. I wasn't around/or not paying attention when she said this, but apparently one day durinf Marching Band practice one of the sctions was goofing off and she was getting frustrated so she yelled at them and said "I'm gonna ninja kick you!" it was super funny when it was told to me. This other time on our way to one of our competitons (i'm kind of tall btw) anyway Mrs.Fortin turned around in her seat and yelled "Hanna sit down" to which I replied that I was. I took the entire back of the bus to convince her that I was sitting down and that I was just really tall. It was funnier at the time I guess...

my BD was carrying a tuba while he was coming in from somewhere (I don't know why) and one kid asked why he had the tuba, and he said this isn't a tuba it's a scholarship

During marching band our director didn't think they were putting enough air through their horns, so to start the song he said "Ready, set, suck, blow!" Instead of playing, laughter ensued.
