"4 out of 3 people can't count." - Mr. West on people messing up because they didn't count correctly. It took me like 3 seconds to get it.

In Jazz, the Saxophones[Alto biggrin rew and George.Tenor:Marcus and some other person.Bari:Melanie] were supposed to play with the rhythm people[Guitar biggrin an,Piano/Keyboard razz eter,Bass:Markus,Aux.Percussion:Jaymir and Drums:Andy]. BUT. The saxophones DIDN'T play, only the rhythm people did.. And Mr.Hanna said "GREAT JOB SAXOPHONES!!!!" In a, excited voice. 8D
I found a clarinet or saxophone reed[on the floor]. I showed it to Mr.H...And he said "Thanks! I'll use this!"...

My band teacher is the only person who can say, "Gee wiz!" and kiddish onomatopoeia without sounding lame. And her sarcasm against the brass and percussion section is hilarious! I'm a flute, so I quietly laugh behind my stand. wink

AHH where do I start?
Mr. Heidenheim always has an unusual analogy for every situation. He is also very short, and it makes me giggle. :3
There was this one suprising part in this piece we were playing one time (I can't remember what one it was), and he was trying to describe to us just how suprising this part was. After a moment or two, he just sorta went:
"...Who wants to see my tutu?"
The room went silent for a good 5 seconds before everyone burst into laughter. C:

When someone in our band asks a stupid question like if they should get their reed, he has a funny little song.
"Common sense is our best friend!" Everyone laughs.
He doesn't actually say this, but whenever someone does something wrong, he overexaggerates it. Like, if someone follows the law of Inertia, he mimics them by looking like he was ina car crash. Slides, he almost kills himself.

Mine never finishes his sentences. This was one I enjoyed:
"So, if you know people, wash your hands. It's brutal."
He was talking about people who were sick, but he didn't finish his sentence.
Another, when he was telling the color guard to book it over to their spot:
"So get on your broomstick and ride your horse."
I have no idea what that means, but it was hilarious.
Oh, and, when he was talking about naming his child Philip, after a psyco murderer did:
"So, I thought, if it's good enough for a psycopath, it's good enough for me."

"... My Extra sensory nose hairs detected that that was a wrong note."
Ha Ha, Long story. Our Band is full of so much s**t. xD
Like Mr. H has /two/ glass eyes and goes about doing things by ESNH.
Or that the music room is haunted by bill, and someone shot Jacob.
"I'll give you two band bucks to lick that moldy reed."
-x-
"Faster. FASTER... F-A-S-T-E-R. MORE AIR, BARI SAX. THIS BARITONE IS OUT BLOWIN' YOU! T-O-U-N-G-E."
Mr. O was playing my part with me in Jazz band once cause the other Bari was gone. He started yelling that at me half way through it, and everyone else was like "....Okay." Mr. H was like, "Yeah... you do that." So now I get s**t about Tounging and blowing in Jazz.
Ha Ha. Yeah.

I love my band director, he's awesome. His name is Mr. P/Poremba.
1) We were dong midterms, and he came to this one guy, a percussionist, and he had forgotten to study, and he said "I'll come back to you later." Mr. P found this overly funny and was laughing his head off. He gave the kid another day to practice xD
2) He has these two adorable little daughters, both blonde...one's three, one's five, and the five-year-old just went to kindergarten, and at the beginning of class, he was complaining about how we kept on messing up at this one really easy part, and he said we were probably just trying to make him go insane, and he went on to say that his daughter (the one in kindergarten) was slapping her butt a lot, too annoy him xD So then, while we were laughing, this one girl asked him to demonstrate, so he got up, looked really happy, swung his hip to one side, slapped his butt, and said in a really girly voice, 'HI DADDYYY!' It was the best thing ever xDD
3) He has a ton of nicknames, most of them got passed on, and I don't really know where they came from.....they are: Mr. P, El Porembo, the Diz, and a few others.....He responds to them all.
4) On Tag Day- a fundraising day- someone took a candid picture of him with their cell phone. It was dark, so the flash made his face really white, and he looked totally confused. A week later, they got it printed, and taped it to the chalk board, with (OMG MR. P REMEMBER THIS????) on the huge border. He left it up for the rest of school, but added "Aren't I so photogenic??" on the bottom.
5) He has this thing called a "Wall Test." Whenever someone has a really destoryed reed, he'll take, say "WAAAALL TEST!" and smash the reed against the chalk board.
6) Whenever we play too loud, he says "MP.....MP....MORE POWER! YES, THAT MUST BE IT!"
7) He says about ten really funny things everyday, so I can only remember a few of the best ones, but It'd be way too long to post, so I'll just leave it at that xp
Oh, and this isn't really funny, but at our end-of-the-year concert, we saved up for the annual El Porembo gift. This year, we got:
1) A gas giftcard
2) A starbucks giftcard (he loves starbucks coffee, and he uses the cups to get his younger daughter to drink milk; she thinks it make her more grown up :3 )
3) Personalized chairs for him and his wife (meaning we wrote their names on the back really big and signed his).
4) A huge giftcard for camping supplies
5) A ton of other stuff; can't remember it now.
The secretary of the band (she was a year older than me, and a terrific flute player) made a speech afterr announcing the presents. I can't really remember it, but the end was something like:
"You always say that band is your home away from home, and we're like a second family. Well we love you too, Mr. P, El Porembo, Diz...."
She went and hugged him, and he cried.....it was really amazing, with the spotlight and everything....The coolest thing about Mr. P is that he really loves all his students ^_^

Phantom of the Forum Green Goat Goddess Early is on time, on time is late, and late is death. heart XD Or, in my band's case... Really early is early, Early is on time, on time is late, and late is Hartmetz, 'cause he is always late. He fails at timing, he has no watch. that's not bad-- we had a concert and we had had MCAS on the day of what was supposed to be our last rehearsal before the concert-- so he had us show up a half an hour early to get some extra practice in-- he showed up late for the time we were originally supposed to be there

outsider16 my band director gets really mad at the loud speaker(ya know the thing they do anouncments on) so one time while we were playing the loud speaker came on, so he cut us off and looked around for something. he picked up the eraser from the black board behind him and chucked it at the loud speaker. there is a tall locker right in front of the speaker and the eraser hit it and then it fell on to the locker. i think it is still up there......along with some ruberband, a roll of tape, and a pad of passes.....i wonder what will be added to the colection.. Our BD put a poster over it in an attempt to shut it up... lol

My band director threatens to sing, and she has a mic that can be heard practically a mile around our school, so whenever we took water breaks she would do so. And one day she sang Backstreet Boys. sweatdrop

My band director always talks about marshmallow Peeps and has some pretty stupid stories.
My best friend, Erika, is the "puma with a mellophone."
He tried to make us play "Peregrin"and the end sounded like a car wreck and he blamed the trombones for dancing.
