[Burnt] Toast Kobo-chan This is VERY VERY weird / nasty / or something. Everytime I try to practice my flute at home, my sister smells it. o.O?? "What the hell are you doing!?" o_O LOL weird things happen when we clean around the sousaphones. we've found sandwiches and coordinate books from years ago hidden inside the sousaphones. the trombones officially use one of the old sousas as a trashcan. once, we picked up one of the cases from the storage room and found a paper thin mouse that had been squished underneath it a long time ago; it was completely dried out. hehe, makes me laugh.

delicatedisarray I'm sure every clarinetest knows the clarinet happy dance!! And if you don't: shame! We stuffed a guy in a sousaphone uba case once and closed it (lock and all) then transported him that way to the game. Talk about getting in trouble. We also out a guy inside the bell of a sousaphone, if I kind find the picture I'll post it! FUNNY! We put a tuba mouth piece on the bari sax I was playing, it was so cool sounding!! I admit it! I don't know the clarinet happy dance. Please enlighten me.

last year, my band teacher /threatened/ to throw a drum stick at a clarinet player because he kept falling asleep, our new teacher this year, conducts with a baton thing and he constantly throws it across the room in the middle of a song on accedent. and the bell players in our band, put a message in the bass drum, saying it was a tradition to put sumthing in it and that the drum was magical. 2 months later, a percussion player broke it and fond the message.
our band is odd...thats not even all the stuff that happened.

Vibraphone.......hit a note and get as close to the note with out touching your lips to it. Open and close your mouth. Take a violin bow to vibes (corps show this year!) or even move your hand to and from the key! xd
Base 5 and Base 1 separate people separate carriers. Base five under base 1.......play! So wrong, but so funny! xp

Two drummers on snare, one behind each other. The guy in behind plays the drum, while the guy in front makes a "violated" face. Hilarious!

Just the other day we were holding drum major auditions, and the person auditioning said she wanted more tuba. So naturally, I leaned it on its side in my lap, bell towards her, and watched her conducting out of the corner of my eye. What? She said she wanted more tuba sound.

Nicholai Maxwell Well...today this jerk who plays trumpet was telling people I practice my oboe a lot because I use it like a bong for marijuana. I was quite entertained by that. I often tell people, "I don't do it that often, because my reeds don't stay wet very long with all the smoke coming in." So...that is one ridiculous thing someone has probably tried before. Maybe bassoons are better for bongs. They look a little bit more like one. Also, we had to have a simulated battle during our marching band field show...we did Zorro....and we had to use our instruments originally. The entire saxophone rank looked really stupid doing it, because we had to use it like we were holding big logs and almost clanging them together. In fact, the whole band looked dumb, so we switched to hiding these long black ribbons in our sleeves, then letting them out when we got to that point in the music. We had to swing them around and jump and run and stuff, so we still looked stupid. I guess it was better than the instrument idea. There was a girl in my 6th grade band class who put weed in her flute mouth piece during school... I'm not sure if she actually smoked it in the room or not though.. sweatdrop Being an oboist myself, I often suck on reeds just to fake people out like I'm smoking something during school. (This is especially fun to do when class is in to walk by the open door of a classroom, or infront of a hall camera. ^^) OH! *Giggles madly* So my freshman year I marched clarinet, well we were doing streches on the field. Well, they told us to line up along two yard lines, but we were all squished together. Then they had us face the person infront of us in the line. Well, there was about four inches between me and the girl infront of me (who thank God happened to be a friend...). So we stood like that for maybe two seconds....and then they called horns up.... Guess where THAT horn went up... And it's not like we could do anything either because if we moved at "horns up" we'd get in a lot of trouble. So we just stood there, both of us cracking up, her with her flute in the air, me with my clarinet up her a**. Good times...Good times... xd sweatdrop

Plunger Man What I do sometimes with my bassoon is act like it's some sort of... Flame-thrower or bazooka. It's hilarious because everyone like "hides" under their chairs or something. I hold my bassoon horizontally and run at people with it, pretending it's one of those logs that people use to break down doors. Scares people 3nodding

trombone_chica Dark197A the guys at my school have this crappy ole' trombone that they spray painted rainbow for unlucky freshman. xd You know that's not a bad idea... We have this really crappy trombone that's all moldy... Maybe I could ask the band director if I could wash it off any paint it... xd It could be a group project!! YES!! I remember a few years ago we had our fiberglass sousaphones spray-painted gold, but it sucked. Then my assistant band director, Mr. Loyet (who, I might add, is a god and can get ANYTHING donated), managed to get a body shop to spray them Corvette gold with a clearcoat top. For free. One time, the summer after my Freshman year, we decided to paint the bandroom. The colors on the walls at the time were light blue and white. Bad. Those are the colors of our cross-town rivals. So, he managed to have some place donate gallons upon gallons of maroon and white (our colors) paint. He's also managed to have some place promise to donate materials, manpower, and time to our band program for a circle-drive on which to put the band trailer. Mind you, my school is not wealthy. Up until this year we were practicing on a lumpy, wide space of ground at a public park* near the school. This year we used a park closer to the other school, but it worked a little better. In fact, on the subject of the other school... my school itself does not have a swimming pool or a football field. These are housed at the other school, which originally started as an extension of mine in the early seventies or so. The pool and football field, however, are the school district's properties; both schools in town use them. It's a big event when both schools play each other. The rivalry is intense. *this park was across the street from two funeral homes, one of which would constantly sue the band program for making noise
