1. The GORILLA is coming hide in the corner!
Explanation- One day in class th BD got really mad and the precussionist and ran over to where they are and litterally busted a hole in a school drum(thankfully). When he was running he looked like a pissed off gorilla. He scared the s**t out of everyone and all wanted to hide in a corner.
2.E-I,E-I,O
Explanation - During 6th grade band we were playing Old McDolnald had A Band at a concert and right before we were about to play it there was a lot of tension in the room and he said E-I,E-I,O with a dumb look on his face and everyone burst out laughing. (it took a while to stop laughing) The audience was kinda looking at us funny.
3. Kelsey watch out for the Stand!
Explanation - At a concert we were playing El Capitiane (sp?) (actually means "The Captain") Kelsey (flute player) tapped her stand and it started spinning around and it almost fell. Everyone watched was messing up on their notes from laughing. We ended up having to play the song again. It was all good though. That joke is still running along today. xD
4.Clarineties - a clarinet nickname from our hyper BD
5.Hornies - He calls all horn brass horn players hornies. (everyone burst out laughing when he says it)
5.Headache people- Nickname for precussionist
6."And of course the precussionist always think they solo everything" -At a concert he was making jokes to the audience cause he was pointing out who was soloing in the song.

"They're checking the pies!!!!!"
One time we were at a McDonald's after a marching band competition and one of the kids i was sitting with ordered a pie thingamajig. We looked at the box and they had the experation date down to the min. So we checked our watches and found out the pie was expired by one min. So then we brought them up to the counter and told them this for laughs and next thing we knew,they were checking the pies and only two of them weren't expired so we started laughing and said "They're checking the pies!!!!!"
sorry that was so long. Lol

New one from this past year:
_ for _ancy!
We had a sub and he would say N for Nancy when we had part N in the song.
Then somehow we turned it into any letter for it.
Our favourite is D for Dancy. : D
When we went to Harris Teeter after our Charlottesville competition, this one kid went in the emergency exit and thus locked half the band inside somehow.
He's never living that down. Even the idiot of the band knew not to go in that door. xD
"Oh don't worry, the cows ate the baseball team. That's why we use their field."
(There's a rumor that the fence on the top of the hills has a cow farm behind it. And I don't know why our director says this since baseball is a spring sport, lol)

One time we marched and played the show the best it had ever been. Our BD gets really loud when he's happy so he was almost screaming when he called us together so he could talk to us all. He said it was so good he almost got 'the big O'. This percussionist said "Orangutaunge, Mr. S?" He laughed and said "Nooooo Drew. Not orangutaugne. twisted "
He said his wife made him sleep on the couch that night.
"Detail!"
"WILDCATS!!!"
redface
This one is about me. We get called to detail and then to attention to run our show. When we go to attention we are supposed to yell "Wildcats". I have a high squeaky voice so I try to yell loud to override that. One practice everyone was talking and being stupid and I was one fo the only people to hear our BD call 'detail'. I was anticipating him calling us to attention so when he yelled 'detail' again and eveyone shut up I yelled "WILDCATS!!!!"
They haven't let me live it down. I was happy my boy friend wasn't there.

Kick the bottle: At contest one year, me and my friend started playing soccer with a water bottle we found, and outta nowhere, a dude with really big glasses said "Stop Kicking the Bottle", but his voice cracked so he sounded like a donkey. It was funny
Sqeaky: A mouse jumped out of a guys Sax right as he squeaked on a note [his reed broke]. We called the mouse Squeaky.

I Got A Brace Face 1. Bring back the sauce. 2. G.T.O.W. (Great Tubas Of The World) 3. At our spring banquets, people drink sodas at just the right amaount, then tie them to balloons, just enough so they don't go into the ceiling, but just kind of float around. It's so simple, yet it's hilarious. 4. Gorrillas. It's the biggest compliment you can get from our band director. 5. My middle school director was a really nice guy, but sometimes he had violent temper tantrums. One day, he was in a temper tantrum mood, and the phone on his desk rang. He picked up the receiver, bashed it on his desk a couple of times, then threw it, causing it to break. To this day, if mention anything about throwing telephones to him, he sends you to detention. Also, our director uses it as a threat, saying she'll sic Mr. Kosko (the middle school director) on you. wow XD What a director hahahahaha reminds me of stories Mr. Sizemore would tell us of the good old days where he was allowed to throw band chairs at people rofl "Zesty" and "Give me your Citrus" are two of mine We're playing West Side Story this year and we were watching the movie. In one scene they're tossing an orange all over the place and people keep taking it so I'm like, "Give me your Citrus!" and we went on about that part cracking jokes. then something came up later where I'm all, "Zesty"

Anyone from JMU summer band camp will get these. Meaning, they're not my band's but they are applicable to some people from my school XD
"CITIZENS OF DURANGO....THIS IS GOD."
"And there's the vulture coming to eat the flesh off my body...AND HE'S HAPPY TOO!"
"Holy crap you look just like Jimmy Neutron!"
And a percussion thing from the concert band camp...
"INFINITE HOUR.", and 'hwaaah!' (lol a kid tripped over the curb and made a 'hwah' noise)

Ronin~Fluff Hey. Is there any inside jokes in your band? Mine has several. 1. We will burn Mr. Myers(our directors) sticks. He clicks them constantly and it is annoying. 2. The poncho cult. At carowinds, it started raining and Mr. Myers put on this horrible poncho, and we all made fun of him then started the poncho cult. 3. The prophecy. This is a prophecy i made up that one day band nerds would rule the world. PM me for further details. That's our director's name too! O: Well, I'm in percussion, so I'm isolated from the rest of the band, so I don't know if we have any inside jokes or not... :/

Woo the women, Dom!
There was a sax player we called Dom in my sophomore year. He got the lead for this song we were practicing in orchestra. It was a very slow, sweet, romantic kind of song, but Dom was having trouble getting that across with his big solo. So finally, my band director says "Woo the women, Dom! Make them swoon with the sexiness of your sax playing!" I think at that point, on of the other sax players started hip thrusting, which was a bit disturbing.
Do you want me to have Irene shank you?!
I'm Irene. Being in the pit was a lot of fun, except for one problem. All our mallets kept breaking right under the head, leaving us with very sharp, pointy sticks. Thank god it never happened during competition, but it was a pain! We saved all the pieces in case there was an emergency and we had to tape them back together. I was the section leader of the Pit and they were always directly under my control. Whenever one of my 2 pit members started messing around, I'd yank one of the sticks out and yell, "Don't make me shank you!" My band director began using that as a threat to the rest of the band as a joke. At our end-of-the-year banquet, one of my Pit members was awarded the "Most Likely to be Shanked by Irene Award".

Haha, yes. One that I made.
"Vivaaaa Burrriiitoooo"
What happened was the band was on their way to Colorado and it was like 3 in the morning. The Charter bus stopped at a truck weigh thing, and I was talking with my friend while everyone else was asleep.
A Truck drove buy and it said "Viva Burrito." Sooo, I said "Viva Burrito" in the tone of "Viva Viagra" And people who heard me started laughing! It's an inside joke now.

Our band is really strange...
1. "But what about the HOLE?"
-At our school, Graduation is held out on the football feild. Well, about a month before graduation, somebody on the school board thought it would be a good idea to re-seed the feild. Leaving a gaint square hole in the middle right before graduation. Which means that we the band starting making hole jokes to piss off the school admins.
2. "Great Wood"
-Our BD is known for making horrible analagies. One day, he was going on about how you can only make a great canoe if you start with a good tree. Then he looked at us and said "We have some great wood in here" We vowed to never let him live it down.
3. "Don't buy fish."
-One year for band Secret Santa, a kid drew his buddy, so said kid immediately went and bought the ugliest looking fish he could find at the supermarket. It was funny when the kid opened his present, not so funny when we found out the kid had left the fish in the drum room over winter break. xp
4. "It'll be band, South Park edition"
-So, one of our band members was diagnosed with cancer, and we were trying to raise money to help with his treatment. One person said we should donate the swear jar. Then a drummer asked if he brought enough money, if he could swear all class (because it was for a good cause)
Our BD said sure. in fact, one day we would all bring a roll of quarters and have an F-bomb day in class. It'd be band, South Park edition.

In band class we had to work in a group for a class assignment (our class only has 9 people and there are only 3 girls in the class including me.) So in our group we had Taylor and Esperanza, both my very good friends and the only other 2 girls in my class. Then we had a nerdy guy named Sam xP. The 3 of us were fooling with him. He was tapping on the drum in the class room and all of the sudden i just made up this "You banged that girl like a drum!" EVERYBODY STARTED LAUGHING!!!! We got introuble but it was so worth it.
