Trevor: H!
Hartmetz: What now, Trevor?
Trevor: We're getting new marching shorts, right?
Hartmetz: Yes...why, did you lose yours again?
Trevor: No...my dog chewed the crotch out of them.
Hartmetz: Really? Hopefully not while you were wearing them or else I'd be hearing this...*falsetto* Oh, Mr. Hartmetz!
Yes, we were discussing marching band in concert band for some reason, don't ask me...

Um, this was hysterical
Well, this year, in 8th grade orchestra, we were playing a song. Mr. Lynch (stupid name no?) stoped us to say "we have a clinic to go to!" WE all *groaned*. but then he gave us the music. We got "Fancy Fiddles". Now we 8th graders have been playing this song every year since the 5th grade. So, me and the boy next to me, Adam and I just start crackin' up, Mr. Lyinch was like "What??" Sami said (while laughing)" We have played this song every year since the 5th grade!"
Funny?

Hm...
Hartmetz: NICO! Go bounce the chimes mallets off your forehead!
He was getting cheesed at the other percussionists. XD

Mr. Smith: Don't do that. Are you a biscuit brain? No! So don't do that, biscuit brain... Now I won't say who ya are, but don't do it again... Christian.
Christian, an alto sax player, was doing something and trying to not let Smith notice him..... He noticed. xD
Mr. Tolhuizen: C'mon guys! I need you to look up and watch me for the beat while you're playing!
Cody: That's what she said...
I kind of get special privilege when it comes to Mr. T.... His oldest daughter, Emily, is a good friend of mine... So I get to poke fun at him with her. :]] For instance, when he got his AARP letter last year, we constantly made fun of him...
And yesterday, he wrote "Over the Hill" on the board instead of "Over the River," which we're playing for the winter concert. So I guess that means it's official that he himself is over the hill. xDD

Hm...well, I was playing my sax in band once and I had to stand up for whatever reason. My BD was giving this lecture to the rest of band, and while I was standing up, this trumpet that sits next to me pushed my chair back without me noticing. So I went to sit down, missed my chair because it was pushed back, and slammed my back onto the ground. Everything was all silent, until I just said, "Owww..." And my band director goes, "Is the saxophone all right??!!" stare Yeah, your concern for me is touching...

We where playing a fast song and the chello and our bass was playing. The bassist dropped his bass (poor thing T.T) which rolled off stage. Then, because he had tried to catch it, he fell off his stool and rolled off the stage right after the bass. Everyone couldn't stop laughing, even he was laughing when he got up. ( The bass was unharmed, just knocked out of tune)
whee

I suppose the worst concert experience I've had was back in middle school. We had a band of around 200 kids and we were set up in the gymnasium with everyone's parents, friends, neighbors, etc. crowded in the place. We were just about to start our first song when the fire alarm went off. And it was snowing. So yeah, interesting concert.

a couple of days ago, just before our concert, my teacher was conducting this really hard song and he did a downbeat too hard and threw the baton at one of the violinists accidentally. i'm glad i'm a bass and not a violinist!

One time, during the rehearsal, our cymbals player crashed his cymbals too weak. So my BD had to go up to him and demonstrated..
Clang!!
at once all the clarinet players dropped their clarinet, including me....

Okay, I was at a friend's performance and their band played this really fast song. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SONG THERE'S A BLACKOUT! But they keep playing, with the accelerando and all. I was so proud.
Oh yeah, there was this one time where I was playing a piano accompaniment for my concert band while I was going back to my seat, I tripped over a speaker in front of the entire audience. Pretty embarassing...

My music teacher is hysterical here's just one of his many jokes:
Me: Mr. Watson, are we playing the warm-up.
T-Wat: Yes, O'Neil, now (addressing the band) I want you to play pianissimo and no I didn't say a bad word.
Everyone in the band started laughing and 5 seconds after they finished I began laughing because I'm that slow.

JediGurl I thought the funniest moment in was when my director was directing a fast song and the banton, flew out of his hands, almost hitting the flutes. It was kinda funny also, when we finished a song and the bell rung for lunch right as we finished. Ahh band class my favourite class. I remember all the awesome band trips, like New York, Banff, and California. BAND GEEKS FOREVER mrgreen mrgreen mrgreen mrgreen mrgreen Nyah, that happened at one of my concerts, too. Though it was an orchestra concert. Fast-pace piece, and my conductor kinda gets really into the things she conducts. Flew halfway across the stage, and a cellist had to pick it up in the middle of the piece and give it to her. XD

Uh, hmm... I suppose I'll say another. I believe this was at the same concert, too. We were just about ready to start our first piece, and we were all just getting finished with our tuning. Suddenly a cellist dropped his cello (with a large crash ensuing) and his bridge popped right out.
Hmm, must've sucked for him.

Our winter concert this year was kind of funky. All our percussion players were missing when they had the percussion ensemble. >.<;

It was right at the end of our marching season, and we were about to leave the school to go out to the field for the pregame pep band. Sitting on each side of the music hallways, probably 12 people were all dressed, and eating snacks or dinner. Everytime someone walked between all of us, we applauded them for the heck of it. Well, one of my fellow Trombone players gets all hyped up when we applaude him, so he runs down between all of us, giving high fives. My friend sitting on my left had a soup in her hand. If you can't see where this is going, I'd be surprised. So my fellow trombone player smacked her soup right form her hand, and it all spilled over me, ruining my marching outfit. I ended up in very off sized replacement clothes that night which were either way too small in places, or too big.
I hold a grudge. xD. Well, maybe I don't I was laughing myself to death the entire time I was cleaning myself off.
