Okay so my BD has been hitting a PFS (Pre Festival Symptoms, it's quite like PMS but for BDs) streak lately. Our Marching Band districts are Monday, and we aren't ready yet (Not really a big surprise) but he said something hilarious the other day.
We were marching our show and he yelled at us to stop. And he walks over to Alex and said "Alex, did I teach you to turn around?" and the poor kid replies "No." our BD then says. "Then do it like I taught you." causing all of us to go... "OHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhh."
And at other times he's done weird stuff. He didn't talk yesterday at all during 8th grade band, in which I am his student helper. He used his hands, and the board to demonstrate what he wanted... yeah. I know. Odd.

Sax player: *hands Hartmetz a drawing for the posters for the Halloween---no, wait, Costume, can't say Halloween anymore---Concert*
H: oooh. Look what Woody drew, guys! *shows it around in a circle to the band*
A few of us who didn't see: What is it?
H: ...XDD 'What is it.'...okay, you guys fail. It says 'Costume Concert' on the bottom. >>;

whenever someone doesn't think they can do something, and eventually they do it, the BD says "I was right and you were wrong, neener, neener neener" all sing-song like...
the BD was was trying to be gangster and when we told him he wasn't ghetto, he said in a really nerdy voice "perhaps we could go chilling in my crib sometime"

xAsenath Mr. Lovell was tuning the saxes, and when he got to the section leader he said "Sharp" because he's always sharp. He doesn't even bother.
Whenever someone plays a note out-of-tune, he twitches. Or scratches the board with his nails.
Whenever someone does something extremely wrong (playing wise), he tells them to go sit in the drum cabinet. Which is small.
Whenever someone (particularly a section leader) can't keep they're section right/in tune, he tells them that they'll have to vacuum the band room floor with their teeth while we watch and throw bits of paper down at him. (That room is disgusting.) what school do you go to? That sounds familiar...

Um, well it wasn't really a joke, but our band director gets sidetracked easilly, and once she brought out her collection of game pens. You know, pens with miniature lincoln logs or connect four or something. She has over 50!

The trombone players weren't getting a certain rhythm, so my director said...
'Trombones, if you don't get that lick right, I'll shove those slides somewhere sideways...'
'Roaring laughter'
'...In their cases'
Loved it

Me: *does perfect Edna imitation voice* No capes.
H: *snerk* You should go as the short lady for Halloween!
Me: ...NOT THAT SHORT. gonk

Our Band director is funny.
Whenever we play a new piece of music, he'll tell us to count how many counts a note gets.
DOES ANYBODY KNOW THAT MOVIE CALLED: SHAWN OF THE DEAD?
well, if you have this is funny.
when we count, before he tells us to count he'll say," I don't want you to sound like shawn of the dead( zombies).
BECAUSE ZOMBIES TALK WITH A SLOW LOW VOICE.
And that's what we sound like when we count. count with no excitment or anything.
And another story is.....
The other day (our band teacher teaches the middle school also so, sometimes he's not here because of that)
anyway, the other day our drum teacher was teaching us adn he told each section to play when he says so. He told the clarinets to play line 24. Well, they played and it sounded awful. He told them that they sounded like "soggy old grandma's" and everyone burst out laughing and one trombone droppped his slide on the floor and everyone laughed even harder. I was rolling on the floor and my trumpet almost fell but i cought it.

Mr. Pruitt said that we weren't marching correctly at our exhibition, so he took a red dry erase marker, and said "You all sounded like bleeding sheep! do you know WHAT bleeding sheep sound like?!" and we were quiet, the he started to scribble on the board and kept constantly saying "BAAAH~" and then he put some dots of the board and said "some random grass here" and the funny thing is, he is one of those guy's that look marine. he was in the marines too. O_O

When our director was trying to describe how we should approach the climax of our marching show he used these simple words: "Try to imagine me on crack...times ten!" Of course we all knew he was on crack before (if you see our drill you'll know why), but multiplied by ten??? O_o'
