Well, once our band director was congratulating people who didn't make it into honors band, and he starts going on about selling ourselves, and then me and the other tenor just looked at each other and started cracking up
Another time, he started calling all of the saxophones sexyphones, and the trumpets started making catcalls, then the band director goes, get your sexyphones out here and stop ploaying with the trumpets, it was hilarious

Today in Jazz Band we were playing Harlem Nocturne. Somehow my BD
used that to start lecturing about the origins of jazz.
Mr. Majoros: "Who invented jazz?"
Some trumpet kid: "Black people."
Mr. Majoros: "...okay, where did jazz originate?"
Same kid: "...Blackpeopleland"
We all just kinda shook our heads.

there was a time at a football game that the ball hit the bass drum and made a loud sound and bounced back on the field,
than my bass clarinet broke when trying out for symphonic band and had to get another one, tried it no notes came out so had to go again to get another one. when i came back he wanted me to play my music and once i was done everyone started laughing even the director b/c how my friend put it "i sounded like a out of tune tenor saxophone doing a jazz run" lol! i still made symphonic band being the only bass
also 2 years ago on halloween me and my friends were trick or treating around the same area where our band director lives and this girl that played tenor sax went up to his door knocking and saying trick or treat! no one answered than she kicked the door saying that she wanted sheet music for halloween!
than also when we had a car wash over the summer, the band director was going for all the places we were all scattered when he came to my group he had to show us how to wash cars and he told us to "treat the car as you would a woman" we all backed away and started laughing.
there are more that i cant remember right now its been almost a year since i was last in band crying

My BD showed off his flute trilling skills today, and everyone was like :O
He described the saxophones playing to a dying goose falling out of the sky and I was like "HONK!" really loud
The one day I missed last year, Gary was tired of the saxophones sucking so much and he went to Jacob who still basically doesn't know how to play because he was blatting everything (can saxes blat?) and he was like "AHH! AHH! YOU! NEED! TO! PLAY! SOFTER! AHH!"

I woke up in the morning, took a shower, put of my clothes, shaved, ate breakfast, PUT ON SHOES!!, then got in my car and went to work."
when he yelled "Put on shoes," everyone was like "AAHHHH!"

Today during rehearsal the tuba slipped off the chair and the bell hit the guy in the head. The band director asked what happened. He said, "My tuba fell on my head." Band started laughing after he explained what happened.
Also one of the tenor saxes started making this weird buzzing noise when he was playing.
For our variety show the theme was Friday Night Live. (SNL) So before the percussion ensemble went on they did a cowbell skit. Behind the curtain whenever we heard cowbell we would pretend to be hitting a cowbell and start doing weird dancing. The people on the orange buckets went crazy with it. (We were playing Junkyard Rumble. I was a bass can.)

Oh, you're asking for it. This thread is going to go nuts.
Well, a lot comes from me just being a typical low brass person. One day in jazz, we were playing really quite well (especialy compared to the practice of fail the day before). My BD was all, "Wow, where did this band come from?" And with out dropping a beat, I answered, "Well you see, when a man and a woman really like eachother..." There was a slight pause as everyone registered what I had said before cracking up. My BD just rolled his eyes and facepalmed, he's learned to expect those things form me.
Another time was just me not scanning what I say. There were janitors that were doing some slight construction in our band room. They were putting up new speaker things for our sound system and they had drilled holes for the supports to go into. Well, they were putting special construction glue in the holes for extra hold, and being a carpenter's daughter I knew what they were useing and just nonchalantly stated, "Hey look, they're putting caulk in the hole." The baritone next to me was all eek and it took me a few seconds to realize what it would have sounded like to everyone else, I nearly fell out of my chair.
Obviously, I have more, but I cant think when it's this late. I'll be back!

okay so today we were on the stage instead of in the band room because we have a concert this week. The other band had been in there before us and moved stuff around. We were beginning a song and the snare drum didn't come in on time so the BD stops the band and turns to the percussionist. "It's not my fault Mr. R (the other BD) touched our stuff!" Now you can tell what everyone was thinking but it's extra funny because Mr. R is gay.

Man, band is the funniest class! There are so many moments that I can't even remember them all.
Okay, during our winter concert, when our BD was talking into the mic he said "My band classes have been like a circus." Then a baritone player accidentally played a note and our teacher says into the mic, "Behold the circus!" The audience started laughing like crazy.
In band one day, a percussionist, Logan, he was playing a song and he didn't do the repeat. When he was done he lifted his hands in the air (With his mallots still in 'em) like he just won something. Then our BD goes, "You were supposed to USE the repeat!" Logan looks at the his music and goes, "Oh..." Then everyone started laughing like crazy.
One time some guys were trying to beat up the band teacher and the teacher holds his hands at the two guys' heads and pushes them very lightly. Then the guys fell over. It was funny!
A student got an opportunity to pie the band teacher, 'cause he raised the most money in a fundraiser. Well, after the pie thing, the teacher walks up to me and goes, "Come here and give me a hug." Then I go, "No! I don't want cherry pie all over me!"
One time, our BD made each section play. He always has horn and sax play together. Well, he had us play. Then he had the trumpets play. Only one trumpet player was here that day, so our BD calls him Trumpet Boy. Matt (The trumpet player) was really, really good and then a hornist, Nathan, starts trash talkin' him and going, "You suck!". Well, after each section played our BD goes, "Well, the horn and saxophones were pretty good, but Nathan had to go and trash talk Trumpet Boy. So, the best section today are the trumpets. Matt, you are now Trumpet Man!" Me and my friends were going, "Nathan, you suck! We could've been the best in the class!"
One day, our BD goes, "LOOK AT YOUR MUSIC, NOT ME! I know my face is pretty and all, but you have to read your music." Everyone started cracking up.
One time, a french hornist who's in a grade above me says to me, "Hey! I got a new invention for our french horns! They can be hats!" She puts the bell of her horn on her head and I started laughing like crazy, then I did it.
One time, the trumpets sounded all weak and stuff, Our band director starts mocking them. Everyone started laughing. Then our BD goes, "Lets play that song again and NO WEENIE TRUMPETS."
One time, my friend, Shelby (Flute player), she was just sitting in her chair, while the BD was talking. Then all of a sudden, her stand falls apart. Our BD comes over and starts fixing it then goes, "Girl, have you been taking those steroids?" He was just joking around and everyone starts busting out laughing. And Shelby has that "What?!" look on her face.
Those were just SOME funny moments. There were a ton more and more to come!
A lot of you guys have some funny moments, too!
