Well heres one for ya. Not many can say that their band director has done this but Our assitant band directors name is Mrs. Quackenbush.
Well we were getting ready to test to make sure we ALL know our music and he says right in front of everyone. "Mrs. Quack and I....." She turned and looked at him folded her arms and coughed. Every band member was trying so hard not to laugh. Our band director turned and looked at her and said "Let me fix that Mrs. Quackenbush and I will be able to help any time you need it." She unfolded her arms and walked out the room.
The second the door closed EVERY BODY even the band director started Laughing. Our assitant band director though was p****d, which made it all the more funnier because NOBODY liked her. EVERYBODY even the freshman DONT like her still.

"That's Toast"
"Would You Like Some Toast With Jelly & Butter On It?"
"Gosh, Sometimes I Wanna Throw a Toaster at You!!!"
"Ugh, that's just toast!"
Toast is the term we use for common sense because when my BD was in Coollage she had a room mate that didn't know how to use a fire extinguisher when the directions were on it and the toaster began to melt...the toast was burning and the girl was like "I hasn't popped up yet, so its not ready"..My BD was like "Girl Your Gonna Catch Our Dorm On Fire!"...So, ya we use toast instead of the term common sense...because of that XDD

My bd told the nicest of our drum majors to actually give the band members the death glare if they are not watching him. Well yeah instead my bd jumped in on practice and conducted it himself giving the death glare to every one even the assitant bd. Who went off on him.

Okay, so this isn't the BD, but I found it funny
Before our last game of the season, they have this thing called "Senior Time", where the seniors go up and say stuff about band and how they'll miss it and whatnot
So theres this one senior named Steve, and hes known as "The Rev"
After his speech, someone yelled out "Give us a prayer Rev!" And he was like "Okay, a real quick one"
And then he said a bunch of stuff, but the part I remember most was [We have some huge pointless rivalry with McKinley] "Lord! Please let us win this game! I know McKinley is prayin too but Lord...don't listen to them"
XD
The way he said it was amazing

My BD is strange. Some of my favorite quotes:
1. Don't Backward march like a grandma with a hip infection!
2. You look like a duck.
3. Trumpets! You need to be trumpets, not clarinets!
4. Is the baritone okay?
Explanations(Most were funnier with the demonstration he didXD):
1. My band doesn't backward march very good, and some looked like the had a balloon between their knees. he got mad and showed us what said people looked like. It was hilarious.
2. A kid wasn't marching correctly(Whats new? He never does) and he got sooo mad. Also demoed
3. Clarinet joke because normal, middle and elementary school clarinets sound nonexistant. Our trumpets, all like, 13 of them play like they never knew how. Abnormal for trumpets. Normally, they need to back down. But not in my band. In my band, the baritones need that.
4. We just got new marching baritones and occasionally people fall. A couple of times, he only cares about the instrument, not the upset kid.

1. "Can you dig it?" 2. "Shh! Too many wavelengths in the air!" 3. "Keep air in the horns, guys." ~Mr. D ~EXPLANATIONS~ 1. He was in a jazz band in college or something for some years. 2. We were tuning, he's sorta technical, uses big musical words. 0_0 3. 'Cause the horns have to be 'warm' like your body temperature so that they sound well when you play.

There are so many funny ones, but my favorite is
"You,flutes,you cant just wander to and fro when you march. Whoa, waiiit. Did I just say to and fro?What is wrong with me today?"
But wait, my middle school band director had a funny one too...
"Remember, the black ones (notes) are not as fat and long as the white ones. The white guys are always fatter and slower."
Trumpet player: "YOUR RACIST!"

The best one from our band director was when he was explaining the rules of wearing uniforms.
"Don't make any of the chaperones tell you to stop doing someone--SOMETHING."
Our percussion instructor...
"Colleen, the Wild Thing you're portraying looks like clarinet-late-to-set."

so it was raining during practice after school and it was only supposed to be worse the next day.
band - do we have zero tomorrow?
band director - unless i'm stuck by lightining on the fifty.
band - but what if you're not standing on the fifty and get struck by lightning?
band director moves to go stand on the forty five- then you still have zero

this is seriously one of my favorite parts of band camp. we stand in the parking lot and our band director tells us that we can't leave until at least one car alarm goes off so we better play loud.

I don't know where is came from but after sectionals, our music director was with teh trombones and from that point on til the end of the mb season (this was is summer camp too) he always said "Save the Turtles!!".
Another good one. Our visual, guard and music directors were on the scissor lift and we weren't playing load enough so the visual director comes on teh megaphone and says, "I want you guys to play so loud that the tupes (sp) will come flying off the audience's heads."

High school band Director:
"I said play the ritard, not play retarded."
HASMB directors:
Mililani: "Remember your horn angles, they're bigger than these small things... *gestures towards Kapolei assistant*"
Kapolei: "Ahh, shaddap."
Mililani: "He's just jealous. heart "
I think the homosexual and feminine male directors are the funniest.
