Phantom-of-the-Forum You will curse the day you did not do...
I don't get that, but ok...
After our performance, everyone stayed in their seats, in the audience. Suddenly realizing this, Ms. Naumann said "Oh, go, go! You can go to the cafeteria now! Sorry about that..."
All that the Phantom asked of you...
he was trying to explain something but i don't remember what it was but i all i remember is him acting insane

Which reminds me of Hartmez demonstrating on the board how we sounded. *draws hill-type thing* "This is what you were supposed to do." *draws steep line to top of hill* "This is what you did. Any questions?"
All that the Phantom asked of you...

I keep remembering things. Anyway, Ms. Naumann was talking to the clarinets once, and she was leaning and waving her arms around. Turns out, she was keeping from falling into the first row of clarinets and smashing their stuff.

Well, today in band Ms. Naumann was spazzing. "Ok, and don't forget we have Jazz Band on Friday, not tomorrow. And...shoot. I forgot entirely what I was gonna say." A few seconds later... "Oh yeah! It flew out of my head again...*then finally says announcement*"

"Percussion! Put your sticks down!"
Probably the funniest thing Ms. Naumann has said to us ever. I was the only one who nearly started laughing though.

Let's see my BD left for like a week and wrote a sign on the board
"I am the Wizard, and while I'm away you shall all listen to Dorthy"
Or something along those lines
Dorthy= MR. B... or student teacher
And that Mr. B was discussing accents then did the ghetto finger thing saying "throw your accents out, yo"

one of my band directors keeps telling us to measure our numbers on our music. My other director loves star wars, (He;s got an original movie poster framed in his office, and he says stuff like "May the force be with you" all the time.
at a music camp i went to last year my director said alot of funny stuff:
These are quotes my director Mr. Umhoeffer (yes thats his name) said
It's like kissing you sister it just doesnt cut it!
When you guys will be one with the nome (as in mentronome) itll be perfect
J as in j-nome (gnome)
You can take a nap when your dead.
Get it in time or I'll rip your heart out.
oh that Baylor Music Camp was fun.

Hm...here's one that embarrased me entirely. Ms. Naumann didn't say it, I said it to her on the first day of 6th grade.
Naumann: "...and you have the class every other day..."
Me: "Really? I have to feed my fish every other day. That's how I'll remember when to feed her!"
God, I was so embarrased for about a month after that...cause her expression to my statement was like... stare

Hartmez: No, no, NO! You're playing too heavy! It's supposed to be light and spaced. Space makes it light!
Me: *looks at percussion instruments* These are full of space, and yet are superheavy...
Hartmez: You're still playing heavy! Come on, you sound like a dancing hippo! You need to sound like something smaller...
Me: Like a rhinocerous?
Hartmez: You need to sound like a gazelle!
Anessa: But I can't hold the note that long!
Hartmez: Then take bigger breaths!
Anessa: *breathes in hugely*
Hartmez: Yeah, that's it. Make it look like you've got huge breasts.
Anessa, me, and Taylor: *laughing too hard to play*
I'm not even in their section and I heard this conversation. I'm percussion, so of course he didn't hear my rhino comment.

During our sightreading, I swear, Ms. Naumann's expression was hilarius. Imagine this:
This face confused
combined with xd
and whee
and stare
It just looked hilarius. She makes the weirdest faces when we play wrong notes.

My band director loves ot talk about killing animals for some reason. The other day he was talking about how we should play a section of a song lighter. Then he went on to say, "It should be like putting a fuzzy baby bunny in a drier. When it comes out it should be lighter."
The Senior flute player had this horrified expression and replied, "That's because it's got no insides left."
Another time, last year we were playing a song that he thought sounded liek it should be in Lassie. We butchered that song so bad that he looked at us and said, "You guys just took Lassie out behind the old shed and shot her. Great job."
One day last year after listening to the french horn section(best section ever!) sqeak out a soli he said, "You sound like a bunch of baby seals in a washing machine."

we cant figure out if my band director is a cat person or not. he is always telling us either to play softly like petting a kitty or to play really loud like kicking the kitty against the wall. its really funny because in the middle of a cresendo he will yell over us to kick the kitty as hard as possible. we always break out laughing
