Ok, one day the football team took over the Gopher Bowl (our football field) and we got to practice in the parking lot. Well, there's this one set where I have to back march a large distance in a few steps, well my doubler decided he didn't want to take steps that were that big. I stepped on his foot, fell on my back, hit my head on the concrete, got stepped on by 2 of my fellow trumpet players and then I had to get up and run to my spot and finish marching that set. Well, then Mr. D. (our BD) asked over the long ranger "Are you ok Brandy?" I just kinda nodded my head. I was in pain, but I"m a trumpet, I toughed it out. That meaning I continued to march with a major headache and a bump on the back of my head..... sweatdrop very embarassing....

This was more traumatizing than embarassing...okay both. Well for marching band, our fflute section has this cute little trail arms thing where we switch flutes(we start marching to the field with each others flutes and get ours back during the trail arms) Usually, me and Katelyn(the pic) would trail arms but this one time, I was trailing arms with my friend Steph. Somewhere along the line we miscalculated the moves and my flute went straight to the ground. Immediately I dropped down and grabbed it, all the while glaring at Steph. The entire band started laughing, while i marched along checking my instrument for scratchs. It wasn't fun for me, lol. It turned out that little tune-thingy on the top(the weird thing that twists on and off) got a huge scratch on it. It was pretty funny. I'll add another story too, but this one isn't about me.
We were performing at halftime at mt pleasant and the field was completely torn apart. It was muddy, and slippery and most of the grass was gone thanks to the football players. We march onto the field(a few of us slipping but not falling) And begin our show. In the beginning of the second movement my foot gets stuck in the mud, but I quickly moved out of it. The next thing I know, I hear and 'oohhh' from the crowd. I later came to find out that one of our trumpets, Patty had slipped in the mud during one of our movements. Our cheer that day for 'potatoe chips' was 'patty slipped dun, dun, dun dun' it was great.

One time one the way home from a competiton, at about 1 am or so I fell asleep and everyone was horsing around and yelling and having a ggod ole time. So I woke up and I was mad that they were being loud, so I started yelling for everyone to shut up. Turns out everyone was whispering and I dreamed the whole thing. After I shut up when I realized what was going on I turned around and found everyone staring at me like I was crazy. The everyone was like "Is she ok?" I was so embarrased then but I laugh about it now whenever someone brings it up.

This has probably happened to every trombone player once, but when you drop you're slide, everyone looks at you and laughs.It's pretty embarressing.

During one of our pep band games, it was raining, windy, and about 40 degrees outside. I had set my flute down on the bleacher in front of me so I could huddle under the umbrella more. Our team scored again so we had to play the fight song. Since it was so rainy and windy, it was hard to hear our drum major. I didn't realize we had to play until the drum click, so I quickly reached for my flute. Instead of grabbing it, I hit it (cuz my hand was so numb) and knocked it under the bleachers! eek I had to go up to one of the directors after the song and ask if I could go get it. She gave me this weird look, but told me to go get it. Thankfully, it missed a mud puddle that was about a foot away from it sweatdrop . My friends still make fun of me for it redface .

Oh my, I have a lot of these. The first happened to my fellow trumpet freshman year: He was trying to spin the trumpet around his finger like a gun because his big brother was doing it and it fell onto the track right on his mouth piece...not even the machines can get it out now xp
Another time I was teaching my friend Laurence to throw this lofty toss with a practice flag...he tried it, but it came down and hit me in the head...less embarassing, more painful, but our winterguard instructor took that toss out next week...ow.
I had first period off my sophmore year and always went in to practice piano or some other instrument. Apparently I got so into my practicing that I didn't hear the end of class bell. My friend came in and asked what I was doing knowing that I had second period band...I told her I was practicing and she said the bell had gone off. I ran to class (which was close thankfully) and the whole class laughed when I came in ten minutes late... redface

Oh yeah, I have my DM's most embarassing moment: Ok, so before and after every marching band event we do (like competitions or games)we have this cheer, we also do it right before we're dismissed from practice.It's called"Eyes with pride"It goes like this- Drum majors: HOW ARE YOUR FEET?Everyone else (at attention): TOGETHER!DM: HOW IS YOUR CHIN?E:UP!DM: HOW ARE YOUR SHOULDERS?E: BACK!DM: HOW IS YOUR CHEST?E: OUT!DM: EYES...?E: WITH PRIDE!DM: EYES..?E: WITH PRIDE!DM: EYES...?E: WITH PRIDE!(And then we do Detail fall out) So it was after practice and (we have two male dms) we were starting our cheer. One of our dms (Blane) started, but when he said feet his voice cracked highest of any I've ever heard. They couldn't continue, and we could barely, we just did out part without there commands. Now when we do detail fall out one of the drum majors tells us to jump as high as...or jump like... Well our other dm told us to jump and yell as high as Blane's voice just cracked. It was hilarious. Everyone still laughs about it!

Neko Kafweenu I tried to throw a double on my flag one day, and a gust of wind blew right when I released it. I panicked, looked around, trying to see it, and next thing I knew it had hit me in the head. Ow. I looked really stupid....... darn wind...... Lolz. I've done the EXACT same thing before. xd

Cosi = NOTE: If you don't know what Shenandoah is, it's the weird piece (SUPER, SUPER SLOW) that crawls. French Horns (moi) get this cute soli thing at the beginning, and we basically rule the piece. ~Cosi holy crap! Shenendoah rocks!!!!! ((Even my french horn friend said so: miwakochanluvsu: jigga wha??? miwakochanluvsu: it was beautiful)) T.T

My Freshman year I missed the first week of band camp to start things off because I was in Maine. So the first day of the second week I get there and I'm late... crying It was the worst. I had to walk across the practice field in front of the entre band to figure out where I was supposed to be and get myself introduced. sweatdrop I've gotten slack for being late to everything ever since even though I'm only late to 3/4 of everything. xp

haha i have two... first was early marching season... one of my best friends decided that she would be funny and write 'katelyn sucks @ the piccolo she really ought to practice' on a piece of sheet music and stick it to my stand (even tho im section leader an she knows i dont suck lol) and so my friend stuck it to my back and turns out i wore it for half of the practice w/out knowing it... but then even when i found out i still wore it! lol im such a nerd. this was also marching season... my band director was referring to us playing kinda emptyish... our sound was very thin and tinny. and he was like 'wow before you guys sounded like a donut! and now u guys have filled in the donut!' i turned to my dm (whos also a good friend of mine) and said 'ive never listened to a donut before' and my bd heard me... and got mad an threw his baton @ me... lol i got laughed @... wow that was long... sry guys! ^_^ ~katelyn

So . . .for concert band we went on a trip to Canada. We got to play in the snow and I decided it would be fun to attack the band directors. Too bad one of them is a judo champ. After hitting him with a couple snow balls. He threw me into a snow bank. Well it wasn't deep thank gosh. Anyway it's way better then what happened to my friend who go thrown into the snowbanks like 5 times by the director.
