Welcome to Gaia! ::

1) Half our tenor sax section is taking Japanese. Juu is the japanese word for ten. They made patches that said "Juu-ors" and put them in their uniform pockets before every game or competition.

2) The trumpets drink Red Bull before every game or competition. The directors had it banned from the Band Room and Playing Feilds because it got so bad. They even made a cake using red bull instead of water.

3) While we're in the stands for Pep Band, the tenors are right behind the altos. We make it a point to go through the football game making Dead Baby jokes, and watching the less-gross ones from our sections cringe and scream at us.

4) The third movement of our marching band show went really, incredibly fast, and we couldn't march it up to speed. The last practice before Championships, the directors wanted to get it up to 200. The marchers said they'd meet the challenge and pass it. I shouted out "200, DOUBLE TIME!!!" Now, whenever the directors need us to speed up in a piece, someone will, no doubt, shout out either "TAKE IT AT 200!!!" or "DOUBLE-TIME!!!"

5) Mr. Wilkie's three rules:
Nobody gets pregnant
Nobody dies
What happens in marching band, STAYS in marching band.

We were about to perform at a state competition one year and it got really quiet. We were just about to start when someone shouted "GET READY GINO!" No clue what that means.

The "this is a trumpet" speech.

At our first football game that we played at, the opposing team had a team chant that went "We love football!" and we all thought that was funny, so that became our band chant. Then one time at a state competition, we had to go through an airlift or something with another band and they did their band's chant ( ouo! ouo!) and then we kinda ruined it by shouting our's whenever they had a pause. It sounded cool, but the other band was mad at us. =P

Our overweight band director tried to do a sumersault one time and failed miserably. That was really funny.

My section has a few funny inside jokes.
"YOU came out wrong!"
"I'm not, I'm looking at Rachel's."
"That's a nasty chord."

Lol we have a "cheer' I gess you can call it is where we mimick people in the band...
Band Der.(Mr.Shook)
"Quick mr.Hupp, to the Shook mobeal!"
low bras dude (Mr.Hupp)
BELL LEVEL WITH THE GROWND!!!

MOO!
What's up with that!
SHOULDER!

(PM me for explanations)

my friend, charlie, made up this phrase, "jew bag" at his work which is not supposed to be a racist comment because he nor any of us are racist. i have no idea how he started that. anyways he said it in front of one of our bds once and the bd didn't like it. then he was about to say it again but he saw our bd was in the room so instead of saying "jew bag" he said "jeeeewwwss....box." so now when someone acts stupid or sumthing they're called a "juice box" whee

AMMERLAND!! scream


Hehe. We decided that that is a German curse word. It actually means something like Home Land. xp blaugh

Saying things like "rosebud" in quiet parts of the song.

My tenors all have parts in the song where they dance all synchronized-like.

Making animal sounds with your instrument - birds, and on the bigger instruments, cows.

Making a doorbell sound with the tall... bell... things.

Ringing the gong to begin a fight. (several of the guys carry around light sabers, so that gets thrown in on occasion)

Party boy!, need I say more?
