1. The whole trumpet section likes to impersonate the seagulls from Finding Nemo during marching season.
2. When being reminded/'reminding someone how to march, we say "scissoring Nazis!" (pronouncing the c in scissor).
There are others, i just cant think of them right now.

1. The gate was locked!
one of our tubas made an excuse for being late. She claimed the gate was locked and she had to jump te fence.
2. Truck fairies
My bd likes to make fun of a friend of mine(who was in band for 2 years, but then quit for drama. traitor) Well, apparently, his freshman year he left his trombone in the band room, because he didn't know he was supposed to take it to the truck himself, and ended up leaving it at school. Our BD says "he thought the magical truck fairies would come and get it for him." So now, before every truck-loading time, our bd tells the low brass "There are no magical truck fairies!"

RainClouds14 1. RAYMOND SMASH!
Our band director has fits sometime where he yells and screams, so we decided to call them "Raymond Smash." (Like "Hulk smash" in case you didn't get it. Rofl.) He also refers to them as that.
2. "All musicians and drummers report to the auditorium."
One day when we had to play for the middle school kids visiting our school, that's what the office lady announced over the intercom. It was so funny.
3. Some of the nicknames for our director:
- The Raymondator
- Raymonous Prime
4. "Joe. Shut up."
Just because of the way he told our bass clarinetist to shut up.
5. "Bueno."
Because apparently one of our new members doesn't speak English. Poor girl can't understand a thing he says, so he randomly said "bueno" at the end.
6. "I LOVE BAND CAMP!!"
Joe, our bass clarinetist, likes to yell this. Weather we're at band camp or not.
Wow I had more than I thought.
jessie, jessie, jessie... there are many more to this now:
1.I love being in the estrogen line!
joe says this when the raymonador puts him in a line with a bunch of girls.
2. the great tuba migration!
at UMASS Amherst, they have like15 tuba players and they all walked in a long line and played a song so we called it The Great Tuba Migration.
3. *sqweek!*
well jessie might not know...but we make fun of the horrible sqweeks that come outta saxs and clarinets.
4. and there's probably more i cant remember. xD

Our brass section has a joke of "Don't be $2!" that was our theme/slogan/goal for marching season. Our section had dramatically increased with a large amount of freshman that year, so the idea was not to be a two dollar hooker and to play with good dynamics, musically, with good tone, etc. XD It's still on the trumpet board.

Oh non rien de rien...
Oh non je ne regrette rien
1. 'LOOK AT THAT, PINK!'
We were watching a videotaping of a performance for critique, and near the end of our 3rd mvmt, our colorguard throws their flags in the air in a wave.* During this, we heard a chick in the background yell 'Look at that, pink!'. Cue laughing.
2. 'NOGALES! -scared screams-'
Basically one of the bands we competed with at one competition got sweepstakes in EVERYTHING. It explains itself.
3. Chitlax
Our BD looks like a Snorlax.
4. 'THIS IS THE COLORWHEEL!'
Our show this year was 'The Colorwheel'. In our third movement, during the wave I mentioned earlier, there is a rest. The drummers during practice decided to start yelling out:
'RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE, PURPLE, THIS IS THE COLORWHEEL!'. This phrase lasted the whole rest, and actually helped a lot when remembering when to start playing again. Of course, they didn't yell it during performances, and sparsely during practices. I personally dit it to myself during shows, still.
*1:14 Wenn ich ihre Haut verließ,
Der Frühling blutet in Paris!

Aw man, there are way too many to remember.
When our student director goes up on the ladder to make an announcement, someone will always ask "How does the show sound?" and when he replies "great" or "meh" or whatever, then shout "That's soooo dirty!" I have absolutely no idea why.

Oh, goodness! So many!
1. Drummer ties!
This is actually a tradition and a joke. It has been going on for years, even before I joined band. At one concert, all the drummers wore a tie. We started the tie tradition.
2. Raptor Jesus!
Too complicated to explain.
3. Akward Turtle and Akward Palm Tree.
Also a little complicated to explain.
4. Fail boat drummer joke.
...Complicated
5. "Oh, there she goes!"
...Also very complicated.
If you want explainations, PM me. I'll be happy to explain.

1. I'm in front of Dani!
Last year the BD was talking about moving the tubas, and a freshman yells out "I'm in front of Dani!"
2. That's what she said!
No explanation needed.
3. Odd nicknames
There are two girls in color guard named Shelby and Amber. We call them Becky and Little Becky. And those aren't the only weird nicknames...
4. Don't take the taxi!
Last year our band was invited to the Chick-fil-A Bowl, and that day the trumpet section leader took a cab home. He just up and left without telling anybody (er, he got kicked outta band...).
5. Seth's Dance
There's a cadence the drumline plays at football games, and the drum major last year always did this weird dance to it. So now that dance is named after him.
6. Backing marchwards!
My BD is kinda slow at times...He was talking about backwards marching, and he goes "When backing marchwards..." lawl.
7. Van Halen ballad
This season at practice, when we were doing a run through of the ballad, we'd always sing the ballad from last year.
8. Can I wear my mom's shirt?
When I was in eighth grade, a freshman in the band asked the BD "My show shirt's gonna be all sweaty from the game, so tomorrow can I wear my mom's shirt?"
9. No, I'm fine.
This also happened in eighth grade. One of the band members had to run a crazy number of laps, and he was panting, practically dying when he finished, and when asked if he wanted water, he answered with a hoarse "No, I'm fine."
10. Why is she in the sky?
The band booster secretary has a daughter in the band. A freshman asked the daughter about band bags, and she told him that he'd have to ask her mom, and that her mom was in the sky. "Oh. Why is she in the sky?"
11. One more one more time!
Our BD always makes us repeat things "one more time." And it ends up being fifty more times. So when we KNOW it's the last rep, we all yell "one more one more time!"
~~~
Wow, got more than I thought I would.
