Only in our percussion can you get away with saying this: "Oh, yeah, Banana Man forgot his peel today."
XDDDD
(Our director is called Banana Man on days when it rains 'cause of his rainsuit. Hhaha!)

Loom I don't know about any other percussion section, but ours has the ability to (sort of) understand "Gary-speech"-- that is, the unique language spoken only by a percussion instructer. It goes something like this: "Snares, now you part is like a, 'Ratatata-Tattatta! Bockitybockitybock bock Cho!' And then right about.... 'Crash! Crash, cymbals!'" *hangs head in shame* Cymbals:O.o ... CRASH! We understand this nonsense at our school too, but its just called drum language. i'm pretty sure some of the snares natural means of communication with the world. Nah, but seriously, percussion is just its own little world that no one else can understand. I LOVE IT!!! cool

well, to start off, i'm in my school's drum line playing snare, and well, me and the others created this game that we called "The Chair Game", and what you do is you take 3 chair and set them up, then you set up a line of at least 3 people behind the chairs. Next, the first person makes a beat on the back of the chairs, and then gets in back of the line, and you have to keep the beat going, but the only thing is, the tempo keeps increasing.....i remember the first time we played this game.....the tempo got so fast that one person tripped over a chair on the way to the back.....lol......its almost like playing tenors in fact......

Only in the percussion section can you. . .
understand what true annoyance is...for example. When horns that can't even play their instrument come over and claim that being a percussionist is the easiest instrument and then try to play the candences(sp) while you're forcedto listen to them play offbeat the whole way through.
get THE LOOK from mr. grow. when he gives you THE LOOK, you know you're offbeat and that it's causing the whole band to slip off the beat. That's when you're trained to run for the hills.
read a novel, take a nap, play a hand game with your friend, write a note, send the note, have a conversation in all the time it takes for the BD to lecture the other sections on their playing. And stil be on time when you're rushed from your book with a "everybody this time measure thirteen!"

I think that too many people think that it is easy becuase we inly hit stuff. They are lucky becuase they only have to learn one instrument when we have to learn many.

Only in percussion can you kill someone with your instrument. (For good... Well, maybe the tubas...)
You get yelled at for playing too loud.
You understand "Duu duh duu da da chi dikaa BOOM!"
Can the guys act totally gay and get away with it from the instructors.
Can wear a totally bogus shirt and not have to worry about it with your drum harnis on.
Can you wear your shako in a "cool" way.
***Only in cymabal line can you BS each other like h*ll all the time because you don't really need to work on heights or little dotted eighth notes in-between.
Can you march 210 no problem. (Unless you fall a lot...)
You can also play the most awsome game ever! CYMBAL TENNIS! (While making very strange gongs. XP)

Onl yin the percussion section would the clave's be a source of amusement. ok. so there's a male and female clave. not that funny. but on the school set of claves, the female one has a slight indent on one end, and the male had a slight outdent. that was funny for about 5 seconds, then the section moved on. then one of my "buddies" had an epiffany. the male clave bangs the female. well, i was playing the claves in one of our pieces. we were playing a lion king suite, and i played the calves in can you feel the love tonight. i know middle school humor. it was so stupid. and just for the record, i didn't come up with it. the entire section would start cracking up every time we played the song... until the concert of course.
