Hartmetz called our senior baritone player a tree...

"Anthony! Get back in your line and stop screwing up the guidings, you tree!"

Then, he's as tall as Hartmetz...XD
(6' 7-ish, if you wanted to know)

GAN: *watches the band mess up* STOP THEM STOP THEM! *Drum majors stop us* You're all a bunch of retards!

REYNOLDS: *to a freshman who's being picked on by a section leader* Next time she starts dancing, tell her she looks like a cow and go "Stop! White girl can't dance!"

REYNOLDS: *with a big grin* My parents beat me as a child.

GAN: *using speaker from the tower* Amanda.
ME: *yelling from across the field* What?
GAN: We have a new girl in band. She needs to be fitted for a uniform.
ME: Is it the new bass clarinet girl? Samara? (yes, like the girl from the US remake of The Ring)
GAN: *blank look* ...Yes.
ME: Mum already fitted her.
GAN: Oh. *blank look* Well she needs music.
ME: Mum already told Tiffany, Sam, and Melinda (the band librarians).
GAN: ... Oh. *blank look* ... tell your mother we need to start paying her.

MUM: Mr. Gan, did you put in a work order for a desk for the uniform room?
GAN: Yeah, it should be in tomorrow.
(several days later, still no desk)
MUM: Dawn should be bringing in some papers for me.
GAN: Okay, I'll have her put them on your desk.
ME: What desk? Do we have an invisible desk?
GAN: ... Yes. I hid it somewhere in the uniform room.
(next week)
GAN: *wanders into the uniform room. Notices we're using a stand for a desk* Hey, where's your desk?
ME: You hid it too well. We can't find it.
GAN: Oh. Okay. *walks out*
(he's so stupid sometimes...)

GAN: You need to make it to your next set in 8 steps.
(trumpet line is all screwy)
GAN: What happened here?
DREW: We can't make it here in 8 steps.
GAN: ... why not?
DREW: We have to cross like... 3 yard lines.
GAN: *blank look* You do?
DREW: Yup. It's supposed to be 16-ish steps.
GAN: ... Well do it in 8.
(Gan can't figure out why the set still doesn't work out 30 minutes later)
GAN: What's WRONG with you people?! It's a simple move!
DREW: You want us to do a 16 step move in 8!
GAN: ... No I don't! Don't listen to me! I don't know what I'm saying!

And an ongoing series of BD/band member quotes sparked by this video, which is of our new BD back in college. We affectionately refer to it as The Tuba Dance or The Flynn Dance

GAN: So today is Mr. Flynn's birthday.
VARIOUS BAND MEMBERS: FLYNN SHOULD DO THE TUBA DANCE!
FLYNN: I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!
GAN: Someone get that man a tuba!

Flynn's comment on YouTube upon finding that the Tuba Dance video had been reposted: You're all running laps tomorrow... (and he rated it +1. xd )

EDIT (10/2/07): I know the video's down now. Several band members are looking for somewhere to repost it since someone ratted out the senior who reposted it after Flynn told his friend to get rid of it.

heart Buley(head) Turner(percussion) and Vaden(3rd band) were walking to the practice field and stopped by the euphoniums.

TURNER: We went for breakfast with the Bandins.

BULEY: Who?

TURNER: The Bandins.

BULEY: Oh, I thought you said bondage. I was thinking, "That's some kinky breakfast!"

The euphonium section just stood there, astounded.

VADEN sad after Buley left) That was weird.

I love new Directors! domokun

ok maybe it wasn't only our bd but once our bd asked what a chorale was, one kid says a warm up piece, and then there are a bunch of different guesses. then Mr Lewis calls on one kid called Tom, and he says, "Well it shares all the characteristics of nonchorale music" "And what is non chorale music?" "Anything that's not a chorale" "So what characteristics are those?"
"You know, non chorale characteristics..."

"This is the part where the babies come out!" eek
We never understood the reason why that was so good....

*we're playing a scale, and every section is playing it at a different tempo*
Mr. Lewis: Look guys! There are bands in the world that are trained to play scales at different tempos from either the conductor or the other sections, but, you guys are not one of them!

We came to a realy slow, soft part of a song, and he started using one hand to conduct. And Most of the band was playing Hard attacks (when they shouldn't have) So he stops us and say's
" This (one hand conducting) is suppost to flow; LIKE petting a kitty, But This is what your doing to the poor kitty (balls up his fist and starts banging it like a gavel). If you don't spot beating the kitty I'll have SPCA or one of those acrynyms on all of ya'll"

MR TIM (Guard Instructor): Make them though babies!!

Band: .....

MS COX (Band Director): Okay.... Back to set one.

_____

*Band marching though ballad...badly*

*Kristi (flute) plays solo, messes up, and proceeds to curse into the microphone*

KRISTI: F**k!!!

*band stops at set*

MS COX: Well, I think Krsti descibed that in perfect terms. Go back and do it right this time!

*Band runs back to previous set*

----The Ballad was called Many Miracles and went on to be nicknamed "Many F-ing Miracles for the rest of the year. Even Ms Cox slipped up a few times, LOL.

Okay, so our band this year has a set in the Opener that is known as the Open Peanut, and we love to mess it up. This one day, we were messing up pretty badly, so our BD kept having to say "Back to the open Peanut." Except for one time...

Mr. White: "Okay, back to the open p***s!"

Band: " eek "

Band (Two hours afterwards): "Back to the open what? What set was that, Mr. White?"

Mr. White: " stressed gonk "
