Whenever our percussion section has a part where one of the cymbals plays the offbeat for our snares, Mr. K always talks about the boom-chicks. Snare = boom. Cymbal = chick.
Oh, and Mr. K tells the greatest stories. Like that one time he and his college buddies went out to catch a duck or that time his friend accidentally fire-bombed an elementary school.

Right before contest last year we were playing a song where the French Horns got the melody for about 20 bars. Well, there were only two of us that could play it, and we were sitting next to the trumpets who overplay every song they touch. Our band director got super mad that he couldn't here the French Horns over the trumpets so he yelled out, "Trumpets, shut your faces and French horns, come on, I know it's two to 70 here but come on, French Horns Unite." Then the second chair player turned to me and goes, "Yeah, come on, F.U.!" (French horns Unite) Everyone burst out laughing, and it was hilarious.

Today, my teacher was like 'Come on, you fruits!' She meant to say "flutes" It was funny...she also always tells us stories of her kids, and she's really absent minded....it's kinda funny, 'cause she always gets off track, and she always missplaces things

During a sax sectional:
"C'mon! Long notes are sexy!"
And whenever he'd address a section it'd be the "Happy clarinets!" or the "Happy flutes!" or "Let's begin at the happy Bb!" o_O;

Well my brother just graduated and I hear all bout his stories. When ever my brother would raise his hand mr.eve (director) would ignore him or not let him speak and imedeatly say "Let me think about,...no!"
Last year the marching band went to D.C. And the hotel they where staying at had a faulty fire alarm system. It went off three times that night. Each time my brother would come out he had one less layer of clothing. The third time he was in nothing but his boxers dancing about and taking pictures of everyone else. Mr. Eve came up to him and asked if he was going to come out naked next time. Luckly there was no next time cuz me brother sauid yes.
Mr. Just laughed at him.

Today, we had a guest conducter who knew one of the percussionists, Dan. She called him 'Danny' through the whole thing. He was wearing pink, and she was a little bothered by it, lol...
So we were in class, and the bd looks back at Dan, who calls out. "Miss, we need a new felt!" he was referring to the bass drum beater, he had pulled it off. So, the bd starts giggling. "heehee...it's a naked bass drum stick!" We started laughing, though this kind of thing is normal for her....

I really love it when Doc gets mad because he is mormon so he says "Judas Priest" instead of "God".

My band teacher must have been frustrated, because he said
"Either the cornets can get it right, or someone can knock over the bass drum as a diversion"

I don't even know where to begin with the funny files of the PHS band. There is an entire file for each of the sections, and our band director, Mr. Rausch has a pretty big file. Anyways, one that I love the most is that one day last year he kept telling us to keep our eyes on the stick. The next day I come in during my study to make copies and I see a big eye with a baton through it above where he stands in front of the band. The next band class everyone thought it was the funniest thing and the story has been passed to all of the new freshmen who wonder why there is an eye with a baton through it over Mr. Rausch's head. More to come from the PHS band funny files...

I dunno if this is just with my band or what, but it seems that every time we either do over 69 arm circles/push ups whatever, or come to the measure 69 people have to scream it out when the director does and laugh for abou 10 min. Funny yes first few times only....
