Mr. Kelly:
"If you know it, blow it." To which a clarinet player responded: "Sometimes you don't have to know it..."
"Tasty cake." ?!?
"I have more hood in my big toe than all you kids have." (He's like, the nerdiest teacher in our school)
Mr. Pupino:
"Smack that. Really HARD!" (Referring to a note)
"If you practiced as much as you talked, you'd all be great."
And I got this one from a girl who goes to another school. Her band director said, "This is as hard as it gets, folks! I don't get any harder than this!"
I'm pretty sure I posted this before, but a sub director once said, "Right now, you sound like a Snickers bar. You've got to sound more like a Butterfinger!"

in marching band one of our directors on every mistake he does which usually only about 100 times a year mainly because someone made him laugh or distracted he goes t"hat is my first and only mistake of the year" and we all say yeah what about last time. !00 mistakes s pretty godd whhen only in about 40 practices for field show and about 40-50 practices for marching seaspon.
We run during field show season: 200 runs during practice easily
marching season:200 practice parades behind the school easily
(those i am not exagerating by as far as i know of)

Robbie: Or an escalator.

We were working on our field show. At one part, the brass echoes a few measures played by the woodwinds. During the echo, the woodwinds had to bow to the audience. We were practicing, and the BD yelled, "Now bend over!".
Being the teenagers we are, we stopped playing and simply laughed. Then he said, "Okay, jokes over. Assume the positions."
We laughed even harder. sweatdrop

Hartmetz: And watch Matt........Jessica. (Jessica's our drum major...Matt's a tenor drum player.)
Later...
Hartmetz: Well, I'm sure it was funny, whatever it was.
He didn't even get it when we tried to explain it! And he didn't know what he said, either... xd

The other day in band camp he was trying to get us to pay attention when he put his hands up to play. Then he was like: "I have really big hands. Probably the biggest in the room."
He also says weird random stories that have nothing to do with the situation at hand... like training dogs. wtf?

One day, I don't remember what song we were playing, but my BD had the alto sax section (us) play a part. Afterwards he told us we were too slutty. -_-
There's this one kid who's always saying crap about everyone and sometimes he'll say really mean stuff to the BD so the BD will come up with creative ways to tell him to ******** off, so that no one can say he said anything. Some are really funny.
The BD we had when I was a freshman constantly made the most perverted jokes. I've always had a problem playing loud, so he was trying to get me to play louder. So he told me to "Just relax....and take more in your mouth..."
Oh, also when he's trying to get us to play a FP right, he always says "hit it, then quit it."

Something really pervy happened...and I forget what it was...
But there's Hartmetz's two favourite phrases:
"And then I'll be getting popcorn."
and
"You gotta kill us all because you sucked all the air out of the stadium to play that triple forte!"
He's weird... xd

I'm not exaclty sure what the wording was because I wasn't there, but heard about it from multiple people who were..
Our band director said something to the afect that Playing wrong notes was like pooping in the pool. One person can ruin it for everyone.

haha! i have a couple lol
#1:
one of our instructors was teaching us a new warm-up drill called the "plus-drill" cause we make a plus sign lol
well once we got finished with it, he goes "why is it called the plus drill when it's shaped like a cross?" all of us were giggling and waiting for him to connect the dots. like 10 minutes later he realized it and we cracked up! rofl rofl rofl
#2:
the same instructor was trying to teach us a new way of marching so we could add it into the show later on, but of course, we weren't doing it very well lol so he sticks out his belly and wobbles like a penguin (mimicking us) and asks us "what does this look like?!"
and a fellow trumpet says "a pregnant lady trying to get to the bathroom!" rofl rofl rofl

7th Grade: My band director, Mr. Fussell, had an Advanced Band for advanced band members. I was last chair flutist in that band. We were playing some composition, I forget the name, and we had a FFF ending. We WAY over blew it. So he said, instead of swearing, "You didn't just touch the sushi, you jumped head first into the sushi." He wanted to swear to emphasis his point, but he knew he couldn't, so sushi was his alternate word.
9th Grade: My high school band director, Mrs. C, is a big Red Sox fan. So one day, we were doing pretty bad in rehersal so she was trying to get us motivated, so she said "COME ON GUYS! DAISUKE PITCHES TONIGHT!"

Hartmetz: DOES NOBODY HAVE A TUNER ON THIS FIELD?
Jessica: I do!
Hartmetz: If you're not kidding, you get the 'Drum Major of the Year' award.
Joe: What about me, H?
Hartmetz: Well, you're not even a Drum Major. But you'll get the 'Assistant Drum Major of the Year' award.
