T: Is she Okay?
Me: [ Passed out on the floor after having an athsma attack wilst playing ]
Friend : What do you think?
Both embarassing for me and the stupid teacher - Of corse I got told about this AFTER I woke up. They had left me in the grass by the path we where walking along, with my clarinet by my side. Yes LEFT me. They returned later telling me they had gone for help... yes all of them... leaving me looking rather dead in muddy grass....

Well, funny story actually.
Band and Chorus both take place in the band room, or the 'chorus room' and the chorus insist.
Well anyway, one of the singers left a cup that conviently spelled out the word "Princess". She left it on a keybord Mr. G (i have no idea how to spell it or say it half the time) uses. Well, Holly and I sat down and looked at the cup. He was still trying to learn all our names. He was saying how Holly looked like a Jessica. He looked around and I raised my hand. He called on me and I said "You don't look like a Mr. G" I said. "what do I look like?" He asked. and I said "A Mr. Princess."
The whole band started laughing, and Holly was out of it.
"What?" He asked.
"Nice cup." I answered, laughing.
It was so funny.

We had a sub once last year, since Mr. O (retired) was out. She was a very mellow sort of person, and she didn't know how to conduct at all. We were getting ready to play a really slow piece and she was like "One two three one two three' really fast. We kinda just sat there and didn't do anything. We ended up using that time as study all. xp

My director was really cranky once and she took out her frustrations on the alto(me) and tenor saxes by yelling: "You can't have sax until you learn to blow harder!" because we weren't playing fff on the piece... -.-

Hartmetz: *is about to start conducting*
Skyelar's tuba: *random pipe falls out*
Everyone: o_0? XDD
Hartmetz: Ok...tubas don't just randomly explode...whatever. Fix it!
H: Only the good percussionists are trying out for All-District...you, Chris, Brian, and J.R. The rest just sit in the band room.
*both of us look at Tucker, who's just sitting there and messing with a practice pad*
Tucker: What?
Me: Why are you still here?
Him: 'Cause I can be.
H: (He has nowhere else to go.)
Amy: *is getting help from H on fixing how to play her clarinet*
H: Now, you do have muscles in your face, otherwise the skin'd be all saggy and floppy...
Me: *muttering to myself* Yeah, then you'd look like Hartmetz...
Tucker: rofl OOH! She got ya there, Hartmetz. XDD
H: *didn't hear anything*

I remember this one day, my friend Kayla (who is a clarinet and we all think she is very bad at it) was playing with the rest of the band... Our band director (Mr. Carrasco) , saw how much she was struggling. Soon enough Mr. C took out HIS clarinet and did his little show-off tune. Kayla started to get all red... All of us and Mr Carrasco thought she was blushing.
All of a sudden Mr Carrasco blurted out this.
"I know that I'm BETTER than you. And you are BASHFUL. But I'm in my 50s and married. Not to mention I have 3 sons. GET OVER IT AND LEARN YOUR DAMN NOTES!"
OH yeah.. and my school mother (her names Danielle.. yadda yadda yadda) Was walking around. Mr Carrasco wanted to play Jingle Bells. Due to the fact that the bells wouldnt shut up... and Danielle talks too much. He started calling em "Danielles". So every time our band plays Jingle Bells... he tells the drumline peeps to get the Danielles out. xDDD

Trombones weren't playing loud enough - AT ALL - for their very important parts in our Christmas parade song last night and...
"COME ON, BONERS! BLOW HARDER!"
Followed by a series of things that sound sexual but really weren't... XDDD

A trombone needed to put some slide oil on, and our band teacher said, "Wipe your finger along it and see if there's any white stuff on it."

Its not really band but choir, our conductor, was conducting and the girls had to sing a line and the guys sing after that "And I'm following youuuu~!!" the conductor stopped them and said "Guys, don't sound like you're stalking the girls on stage please?"

H: Now, I don't care if you have to work. YOU CAN'T MISS PRACTICE. You can't have a sign at competitions saying 'I suck because I work'. NOBODY CARES.

My band teacher Mrs.Farmer told our bass guitarist to tune his "G-string".
"No!, there is a ritard at measure 33 and a ritard that isn't playing it!" quote from Mrs.Farmer
