Last year in concert band, we got Peacemaker by Karl King to play for contest, and after the first time we played it through, I said, "This sounds like something out of a Spaghetti Western," and Danielle said at about the same time, "This sounds like the Italian Mafia!" And so we made up a story about the Mafia walking through Dodge City at high noon xd

Um...
I was playing a jazz band song, and I thought of the Pink Panther. Which reminded me of last year's almost-fight between the drummers over who'd get to drum it. Which also led to me thinking of one of them as the twichy-eye-guy from the original, and the other as Cleausou. Or however his name is spelled.
And the pianist was the Panther...which was weird.
I started laughing for a second, and my friend gave me this weird look. confused

Geebus...last year [My 8th grade year] we played Golden Age of Rock 'N Roll and my BD is OLD and SCARY! He RARELY smiles..except one day he smiled at me..it creeped the HELL outta me...Moving ON!! So i just pictured him dancing and doing the twist and such since that was "his era" and and I was playing with a smile on my face but I got over it..and since I'm first chair [Flute/Piccolo] He was right in front of me just staring at me and for some reason out of PURE randomness he started doing the twist in front of me eek and everyone was looking at me...I have no idea why...I never had a thought during band ever again. sad Tragic....

ok so in concert band we were playing a song called "irish washerwoman" and the trombones and tenor sax have this line with a gracenote before every note, so it sounds like beeeaaahhh, beeeeahhhh. so my friend kasey and i started imitating them and we got the idea that this sounded a lot like byoch byoch. we both started cracking up in the middle of the song and no one knew why. lol it was funny

Takuya Kanbara Another idea: We were playing "The Planets", and (this one REALLY pissed off Spillman [our BD]) the trumpets took flashing lights and stuck them into their bells, the woodwinds picked up a bunch of glowsticks, and I conveniently flipped off the lights...next thing I know, a baton is flying at me from the other end of the room.
Very interesting....
I played "Mars" which is one of the pieces from "The Planets"
That piece was kinda hard. And every time we played it, I thought that these aliens would wiggle their way out on the stage and abduct everyone and force everyone to feed us their brains.
Yes, I know, strange thought.

I usually think of food in the middle of a song.
Egg rolls, pickles, you name it.

Well, at this really legato part of one song, I always thought the instruments were saying:
"Duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
I hate when instruments start mocking me!

I remember during a Halloween Concert, we were playing "In the Hall Of the Mountain King."
I thought of a gnome from World Of Warcraft running across the stage chasing after my English teacher (who I loathed).
I messed up a measure from laughing in my head, as well as losing my place.

well for us it's more of what happens during the class. Like in our sectionals our cliniction gave us a break and he wen to the bathroom and we all hid and then he came back and he opened the door and then walked out but we thought he had stayed in the room and closed the door so one person jumped out and went "BOO!" and he wasn't in the room... ha ha..our section is the weirdest...

One time randomly me and my stand partner just randomly thought of the chicken dance (at the same time it was very wierd) and we busted out laughing in the middle of class. Mr. E pulled that whole "you're the section leaders you need to set and example" s**t, but it was really funny.

It's more what my section DOES, rather than what i think of
Example
This year, almost every single time we played our march, "Invincible Eagle", during the trio (trumpets never play the trio, at least in the songs we pick) our werido senior would take his trumpet and row.......... twice on each side of him........... 1 2, 1 2, 1 2, 1 2..................

.martini.martini. I think the weirdest thing was when we were playing the James Bond theme for Jazz Band and I thought about our Band Director (a "larger" women) being a Bond girl. It was actually more disturbing than it was funny.
Lol, we're actually learning to play James Bond in my jazz band now!!! Haha, the clarinet part sux. Hard. But I'm happy that me and this guy I like get to play the same thing for like 4 measures in the beginning. heart

Mr. Parsons (BD) continually calls the trumpets buzzards. He said to them during a song, and I imagined a bunch of buzzards holding trumpets.
