Alright. My band director and me are... We get along good. He's like my father so he's always cracking jokes about me. One day during marching band He was talking to a kid that was an old French Horn player the year before that graduated and also to the Middle School BD. They like to pick on me because I'm pale. So they were all like, "Hey Chris, Rosuir... I'll pay ya 5 dollars to turn the lights off in the band room when Courtneys in there to see if she glows in the dark!" That made a few people laugh.
This one is not to funny but hey, why not...
"I can pretty much give a stereotype to all of the sections in this room. The Flutes are all perfect everything with perfect writing... The clarinets are... Well... There. The trumpets are full of themselves and The bass Clarinets... You can't really give one stereotype because the other one cancells it out... You guys are now outcasts."
This isn't something he said but I was at a graduation party with a friend that was in band. The kid that graduated was in band also so the BD came over. He drove his motorcycle over and forgot to turn the headlight off so he had to get a jump which took forever. My friend and me were snickering and he looked at us and said "stop laughing now." But we didn't. He then turned around, lunged towards my friend and tackled him to the ground and started tickling him. I was like "DUDE! YOUR MY HERO!!" He just laughed and said "Your going to take me seriously now aren't you?" We both shook our heads and kept laughing.

Our band director's wife does all of the drill stuff with us, and we were practicing basics yesterday, and we had gotten to the end of the parking lot.
She says "All right, turn around."
And one of our bari sax players says "Wait- what about the turnabout?"
And she rolled her eyes and said "Ew, no. Turnabout? That's so old. I hate that thing. It's retarded. When do we ever use a freaking turnabout?"
XD

Well...Ms. Naumann has this little button that sings the "Don't worry" song.
Skyelar pressed it, and she was like, "Whoa, who's whistling the song?"
Kuz, ya know, it's got the whistlers in the beginning...
Our band(and our directors) are clueless...

Oh, yeah, at battery/pit thingy the other day, Hartmetz went to leave the bass drums in the room, right?
For some reason, they all started following him.
Then he was like, "No. Staaay. Got that? Staaaay."
That happened like, three times. Including once when he went to get another bassist who was trying to smack his sister with the drum. He like, herded them all back in.

We were playing a song that has kinda an italian feel, and our BD was trying to get us in the mood.
BD: You have to have the white shrit with the chest hair sticking out and the little black moustache and when you dance on the tables, all the ladies will want you. I know this isn't school approriate, but they will all want to be with you. You have to feel like that."
We laughed for five minutes straight after that.

After Ian missed his vibes solo:
Hartmetz: Ian? What happened? You do know that's a vibes solo, right?
He then proceeded to look as confused as possible. It would seem that I'm the only person who can play that part for Everybody's Everything.

We played a song in middle school called Prelude and dance.
We had a problem because drummers was not
playing strong enough. They didnt want to break the drum sticks.
So our band director had said "You cant break those sticks guys"
He took a drum stick and began banging it agains a stand.
"These things will *hit* NOT *hit* BREAK *hit* *snap*
After he said break the stick broke in half.
razz

Mr. B (that's what we call him) on the first day back from christmas break, he said, "ah one, ah two, ah you know what to do!" We laughed silly for ten minutes. Then he said "pot-tree" instead of "pottery" lmao. I can't remember what else he said but he's normally a funny guy.

there's a kid in our marching band named Rory. Last year when we got our info packets it said all performances are Madatory. We made that into the joke of the year....then this year at the first practice she was like hey everyone! I'm not mad at Rory anymore! And we were all yaaaay she spelt mandatory right!
