When I was in high school my band director Ms. B was talking about a piece of music and during that lecture a duck landed on the building behind us and was looking through the windows that were near that building and when we notice that the duck was watching our class, Ms. B just came out with" Aflack!" like the commercial because it was really popular at that time, the whole class could not stop laughing for about 20 minutes and still after that class we laughing about that day.

Um... My band director's pretty gay... Lol. He likes to make fun of people, and we really count how many times he says something or teases someone.
Here's a list of normal things.
"Intervals! LINES!!! KEEP YOUR BUTTS TIGHT! I WANNA SEEM THEM SQUEEZED TIGHT!"
"I don't know mom... all I heard was whoosh, and I woke up here in the ER."
"Stik up straight, feet ON THE FLOOR! I swear to God Tamika, I WILL duct tape you to the chair!"
(Note: Yes, I am Tamika, and yes, this is an EVERYDAY thing said to me!)
God, he barely talks besides that! Naturally he mimicks people!
"Gee Mr. Tucker I don't know... Are we wearing uniforms? What time we gotta be there? Durka dur durrrr!"
Crazy a** old man! BUT He HAS said one thing taht keeps us all laughing to this day.
"The best band practice we'll EVER have is when I have a 12 gauge and a 6 pack."

Dr/ Nguyen (my marching band director who is Vietnamese) watches us from the roof of the gym and talks to us through a microphone. One day we were working really hard and he said "You guys are hussling really well today. You look like little japanese people when Godzilla came to town." then he started shouting "Godzilla! Godzillla!" It was funny.
Oh and then Dr. Williams (the director of bands) that same week made a joke about Dr. Nguyen being super short and Nguyen was like "Is that an asian joke? I'm offended." Even though we all knew he wasn't so that was kinda funny.

Trombone player: HARTMETZ. Is a light saber considered a weapon?
H: rofl If I were to ask Dr. Brewer that question, I'd have to go back an hour later after he stops laughing! We're already geeky enough, we don't want to be like "The band wants to know, is a light saber a weapon?" It's PRETEND. Like the guy who said the Telletubbies are gay. They're TV. They don't have home lives, they don't have relationships, they don't have sex lives. THEY'RE PRETEND.
Everyone: rofl
H: >>; ANYWAYS...Robbie distracted me. 1.6!
---
Gerry: *chewing gum*
H: IS THAT GUM?! Get rid of it.
Gerry: *gets up, has to walk around H*
H: *is demonstrating marching, purposfully squashes Gerry*
Gerry: stare *shoves him*
Entire band, literally: Ooooohhhhh, Gerry, you're in for it now...
H: *evil glare lol*
Gerry: o_o;;;
---
H: Now, I'm not saying names on who messed up that move...it's a sousaphone whose name starts with S...
Everyone: THAT'S ALL THREE OF THEM. rofl
Gerry: Stefan, Skyelar, and Scott! XDDDD
H: xd Well then. Even better!

True story: My band director, Mr. Carey, was talking to us about asking rediculous questions about ANYTHING musical, and anything school related.
So i said, what if I just hit puberty? And he said "Then you should go tell your mother and let HER be proud of you and not let ME be disqusted."
Everybody laughed.

"Blow" and "Fingering" jokes aside, the only really musing thing I can think of is when one of our music instructors gives a the annual speech before all of the shows, there's ALWAYS another band right behind us, playing inspirational music that somehow fits perfectly with his words. It makes me giggle.
Edit:
There was also another time, when we were being particularly sluggish during drill, and our Director got really annoyed so he shouted at us, "Hurry up! My grandmother can move faster then you, and she's been dead since -insert year here-" It was really funny at the time.
Another time, Mr P., our Brass-line director was filling in for our drum major. He used to the brass section about horn angles. Over the microphone that's set loud enough for everyone on the field to hear. It was halfway through practice and we were getting into set when this random car passes by and these random boy's screamed out, "HORN ANGLES!"
It was really, really funny, because Mr P. just rolled his eyes and said, "Morons." As if only he had the right to tell us to fix our angles. It was funny.

Well instead od my band director, my percussion instructor is pretty funny.
When he counts' us off, he sometimes goes " 1 2 HIP HO!"
And since this is percussion, he's always like "Dige-Diga-Diger-Diger-Diger"

My Middle school band director (who every in the band called, "Dunsy", because of his last name) Told me I should be gothic. I was at a lesson, trying to learn music while he was in his office, doing things. He came out right as I was talking to myself about playing the piece better. This is pretty much how the conversation goes:
"Are you talking to yourself?"
"Hmmm? Oh...uh...yeah. I do that sometimes. Sorry."
"You know...you should be one of those people...what are they called?"
"What are what called?"
"You know...they talk to themselves a lot...and are kinda just...black."
"...uh...?" (I was wearing all black that day, but the way he said it made it seem like he was talking about something else)
"You know! Like, black clothes, and stuff..."
"Uh...gothic...people...?"
"Yeah! You should be a goth."
And so on and so forth, like that.

My Band director for the brass section, Mr.Wiggington, was telling us to tighten our lips to make a higher sound on the trumpet. Well, this one dude in our trumpet section was making all kinds of noises with his trumpet. Mr. Wiggington said to stop and he wouldn't stop. So, of course he yelled and made him give push-ups. After he got finished my director said, "Ten more b***h!!" Everybody was laughing soooo hard because he ment to say "Butch" becuase that was the kids name!!!
It took almost the whole 2nd period to stop laughing!!!

This happened a few days ago after our half-time performance: (I'm in guard) Our coach was talking to us, telling us we were going to be getting and putting together our Phantom flags next week as well as learning more choreography for two more songs when our bd comes up to us. After she finishes, our coach indicates Major and says, "Do you have anything to add?" He replies, "Good job out there today guard, but the next two weeks are all about business. You cannot afford to be absent and nothing can get in the way. No homework drama. No family drama. No relationship drama." Then he points at the only guy on the team (who is straight) and says, "I already talked to you about your boyfriend..."
It was hilarious! None of us could stop laughing for at least five minutes, and even then, we were still giggling about it on the way home.
It was definitely funnier if you were there, though.

Our band director is hilarious.
One time we all thought he was home sick, but when we went out on the field to practice, out of the press box speakers came: "Nick, WHY AREN'T YOU PLAYING???"
Another (non-director) thing: The drumline for some reason got cookies after a game. So one drummer yells, "Give me cookies!" and the one with the box ran away yelling "Go to h*ll!"
You kinda have to know him.

ZOMG my band director is a riot.
One of his most common sayings is "PEOPLE WILL THROW BABIES WHEN THEY HEAR THIS! IT'S THAT GREAT! THEY WILL BE CRYING!"
Heres a funny moment as well:
in Z.O. jazz band I'm the only flute and he was talking about sectionals for the next two weeks...
Me: "What section do I belong in?"
Mr. A "You belong to EVERBODY!"
Class: *laugh laugh*
I'm not going to go in specifics in other moments but let's say the director and the band always get into funny little arguments which are usually hillarious and non-band related.
I could rant for hours but I don't want to take up too much of your time. wink
