My goal is always to try to make the flutes laugh. (i'm a clarinet player) since class is usually boring-unless the band director hurts himself-i try to goof off for fun. my friend and i usually make out with out clarinets (since you have to lick your reeds...this creeps out the french horns for some reason) or we act like they are lightsabors. we usually resort to just making faces on the keys since they act like fun house mirrors. My friend who sits behind me always uses her saxophone as a mirror. Oh yeah, we also pretend our instruments are guns and shoot at the trombones...or stick stuff in my friends saxophone. I once stuck my mouthpiece cover down her sax and it got stuck! we had to use a stick to push it out. Also the last chair clarinet dropped her ring in her instrument and it never came out. We are quite bad, lol i sound so nerdy. sweatdrop

My whole clarinet section put on a show using our clarinets like the drill teams twirl their guns. It wasn't going bad until my friend dropped his and broke the tip of his mouth piece off.

My friend and I in the flute section are always goofing off, and inevitably, we do something stupid that makes the front row clarinets laugh. It's fun to watch them get in trouble, as opposed to us. ^^

Well one time during marching band practice i got bored and started spinning my clarinet like a flag and the bell must have been over greased because it flew off and landed in the bell of a suzaphone spin around and then when boomeranging into the head of the person next to the suzaphonist XD
it was pretty funny. ^.^

Well, this isn't an instrument...
But I was dating a Drum Major at some point. I would steal his AMAZING cape and chase people around until section masta made pit and drumline warm up.

I used to dance onstage in the stage band when I had bars rest...if I was playing trumpet I'd hold it in both hands and do circles and whatever....if I was playing trombone I'd rest it on its slide and use it like a shortish dancing partner and dance around.
We also used the trombones as bazookas and we decided that the trumpet was a smaller weapon, from which different ammunition came out depending which valve you pressed down (third valve was a flamethrower, second had grenades etc) and you reloaded by moving the third valve slide in and out. When I took up the tuba in the same band that became the long range artillery.
And of course, you could put your bell (trumpet or trombone) to someone's head or back and play to give them a little massage/tickle thing
......yeah, I think we had too much time on our hands xd

So my friend and I was both play the flute and we like to do this thing we call playing samari swords. We kinda hold our flutes like a sword and pretend to be fighting and stabbing each other. We tend to get in trouble by our band director for doing it but we do it anyways.

My friend Brandon used to take my sister's flute case (flute and all) and through it in the trash in the band room (and hallway) every day. All of their freshman year of high school. It got to the point where, if he took it, she let him through it away because she'd get it back sooner. Also, I fell over onto the quads my first year of marching band. If any of you went to Woodland Middle school and were at marching band camp of 2004, the was me. I played the bass drum, and the only one I could walk in was the tiny, heavy one. I wound up with a snare drum that was turned off and tuned down. At least I learned how to replace a drum head that day!

Well...as for things that I can say here and not get kicked out.... >> <<
It's a tradition at my H.S. for the 24" Bass Drummer to strap up and do a head stand while playing through the cadences or a particularly cool drum solo during the 3rd quarter of football games.
