Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lol, that's hilarious....
On the last day of our eigth grade trip to Durango we spent the entire day hiking in the hot sun in Mesa Verde so when everyone got back to the hotel they got in the pool, including me, which was a mistake. Anyway, me.... being stupid, got into the pool with my glasses on and got into a splash war with my friends and my crush at the time.
Needless to say the glasses weren't working very well so I got out to put them down and fell flat on my butt in front of the entire band, orchestra, and choir!!!! If that wasn't bad enough as I was wlaking back to the pool, I fell in the exact same spot!!!! redface

I have a bunch of interesting stories, but I'll only tell two right now.
We have this crazy frenchhorn player named Neri. He's really fun to be around but he tends to go a little too far with some of his jokes and such. After the Alamo marching fetsival, Neri was suspended from band for licking a trumpet player's (also a guy) n****e while we were waiting for our score in the stands. The whole band was shocked (not about the n****e licking, but about Neri being suspended). The rest of the frenchhorns made up a cheer for Neri at one of the games. Usually, the cheer goes like this (while making the letters with your arms):
M-A-V-S! M-A-V-S! M-A-V-S! M-A-V-S! Fight! Mavs! Fight!
The new cheer went a little something like this:
N-E-R-I! N-E-R-I! N-E-R-I! N-E-R-I! Where! Is! Neri!
We got in a load of trouble but we did it 'cause we love our Neri. He's the band's favorite problem child. Our band is just one big happy family, no?
Okay, here's the second one. We have two different band uniforms. One has a white jacket and white bibs and the other has a blue jacket, blue bibs, and a bright orange cummerbund. Well, the blue jackets zip up the back so the running band tradition is to say "Do me!" when you need your jacket zipped up. It's perfectly normal to hear a bunch of people yelling that on the busses but we had a new chaperone at one of our games who was not told about the bus tradition. She raced to the back of my bus and screamed that fornicating in public was illegal and that she was going to report the entire bus to the head band director. Well we tried to explain but she stormed off to Mr. Gan and told him we were doing inappropriate things on the bus. She said that we were all yelling "Do me!" at the tops of our lungs and Mr. Gan replied, "Oh that's normal. The only time you need to worry is when they're quiet." 'Tis true. We're good little band nerds when we're being loud, but when we get quiet you know we're up to something. 3nodding

heh, at our state competition, a certain school's bus was in front of ours, and their other one was next to ours...the girls decided to change on the bus next to ours there were smudges on the window that my seat mate made lust staring...it was interesting, to say the least...well, the bass drummer's pa was not too happy about all of this and just about beat his boy to a bloody pulp...it was quite amusing...the girls made a sign that said "stop watching you pervs!!!" and I apologized on behalf of the guys in our band...yeah, I'm a nice guy...

At the prom two of the girls in band went and took a picture of our band director. Anyways our director didn't want his picture taken so he made a really funny face... The two girls had used a digital camera, so they scanned the pic onto one of their computers and printed it out and then took it and then taped it to the front of our director's podeum. When he walked in everybody started to laugh really hard and it took him forever to figure out why everybody was laughing really hard and couldn't play when he tryed to get us to.

haha sumthing like that happened to our bd. our britone guy found a college pic of our bd and he put it on this The Incredibles id card thing and posted it in the music room XD too bad it was found and taken down b4 school started. but we had a good laugh while it lasted blaugh

I'm a fluteist and I agree, flutes rock! Last year we sang to our band songs, we played Gonna Fly Now from rocky... This year I'm at a new school new band and we played Eye of the Tiger it was fun.

During my Freshman year at bandcamp, my older brother was the senior. My brother was the loudest person there and he was personally friends with our immature 24-year-old band director who was still a kid himself. On the third night we all had to be in the auditorium and we had a mock-talant show where Andy(my brother) sang Beautiful (by Christina Agulara) while his friend played it on the piano. After that, my band director and his friend Mickey(who taught the precussionists) went up onto the stage and sang their own song to my brother, called Shut Up Andy. It was the funniest thing I've seen, and my brother laughed as hard as anyone else.
