the other day in band (by the way the percussion section likes to just lay down od the floor and our band room goes up in 3 steps) and one percussion players named fernando was laying in a position where his head went down to the second step. Then another percussion player was walking around looking for his music (he loses it all the time) he didn't know he had stepped on his music and slipped landing nads first on fernandos face. It was silent for 5 seconds then...
Mr. Polluck: YOU JUST GOT TEABAGGED!!!!!!!
everybody started laughing..

ok my class was playing Fandango El Durato. it was a spanish dance piece and my band director shouted "Make it sexy!" and so he kept telling us 7th and 8th graders to be sexy. he also has a habbit of telling joke about how stuck up trumpets are and talking in his Yoda vioce. he is erm "unique"
we also have a sign above our piano saying "NO SELIENE DIEON!"
**please note that i may be a band geek but i cant spell at all and i am half way alseep.**

We were playing a slightly slower piece than we usually do and kept coming in too early. Our band director, Mr. Spruill (absolutely amazing!), told us that we had to sub-divide the beats. He told us to count "four and play, not four play" (which everyone took as "foreplay.") It was really funny the way he said it; you had to be there.

Recently, the flu has been going around at our school, meaning alot of absences. Mr. G was taking attendance, and the only section without an absent student was the percussionists.
So Mr G randomly said "Percussionists'll eat anything, so they don't get sick" It was really wierd.

oh (thought of another one)
We have a song where, in this one part, the clarinets are an octave above the Flutes. Understandibly, the clarinets are having a hard time. Mr G was working with them, so he's just like "Keep practicing at home, we'll get this"
AFter class while we were stacking chairs and the like, four or five clarinets stayed in their seats to practice their parts. It was earpeircing.
After two or three minutes of this, Mr G turns and yells "If you don't stop practicing in that registar, I will beat you with your own clarinets! It will be painful!"
To which the clarinets responded "Then you'll have to buy us new clarinets!"

Our new band director, Mr. A is kinda weird... he keeps going on about the dead baby effect. WHere the band plays SOOO well at the game or where ever that the moms throw up their arms in rapture and their babies go flying and die.
OUR BONERS ARE BETTER THAN YOUR BONERS!!! is another thing that our bd decided to yell at this other band...
oh and he actually started crying cuz we played so well, so now we give him a hard time cuz he's over emotional xd it's all in good fun though
then there's the whole Sparta thing... xp

Hartmetz: *drinks Pepsi in the band room*
Us: o_o WTF?
Hartmetz: What? I can break my own rules. And besides, sugar helps my vision issues...right now I can't see half the band...hey, you guys look better without them.
Robbie: *walks in* Hartmetzzzzz....I got poison ivy...DX
Hartmetz: ...how?
Robbie: We were doing stuff with roots in science and I didn't know what its roots looked like so I was messing with them and I ended up rubbing my face with the oils still on my hands...
Hartmetz: >_< I didn't think you were THAT dumb, Robbie...but you know what'll cure it? Bleach.
Robbie: o_0 What? I don't wanna have a Micheal Jackson repeat with my skin! I like being Latin! XD
Chris: *walks in* ...I don't wanna know. XD

we were playing "Amazing Grace" i think, n he was like "low brass! what the hell! u guys r playing like monsters! imagine a cupcake with a candle. its ur birthday. the object is to NOT blowout the candle, but make it bend. get it?"
we all looked at him like he was insane.
we can get him to talked about anything most of the period. he talked about his microwave once, that was fun...

My BD has the habbit of using really long analogies to get his point across. One time he had us tell him everything we knew about Cable vs. Digital Tv. None of us got what he ment and in the end he just told us to "Stop playing like your dead, put some accents into this for gods sake!"
He also tells us like we're sheep because on new music if one person messes up we all tend to follow.
He also gets pissed when people dont pick up their trash after eatting in the Band Hallway. So he used the analogy oneday that walking down the hall with all the trash on the ground is like him walking down the hall in nothing but a speedo.
Worst image ever. -shudder-

my BD told one of the trombones to: "oil the part that goes in and out"
sexual and hilarious, the best band combo
and another: "finger while I play along" or something along those lines

My friend, Mouse can compact himself into small places. So NATURALLY we tell him to fit himself into a saxophone locker. When he does do that act, our band teacher comes out of his office and starts yelling at us, saying "We DO NOT put students into lockers! Why the hell should I be telling you this?"
