I'm not sure if this is "funny" exactly, but our director told us "If you're going to fail, go for broke. Fail with a 20, not a 69." The weird part was that I felt he was talking directly to me, because I had just gotten my first failing grade ever (67), not that it really mattered. Those 3 weeks were relatively calm as opposed to the rest of marching season. By the way, this was in reference to the unusually large amount of failures at the time, which were mostly freshmen (I'm a sophomore).

My band director was showing us something on the board and she nwrote down two kids names as an example. One of the kid's names was Anissa (pronounced A-nees-sa. You wouldn't believe how many people get that wrong!), but instead of writing down her whole name, she just wrote "Anis" and a trumpet player, who is really funny, shouted out, "It spells a**s!!!" We ALL cracked up, even the director, who after, completed her name so that it didn't speel out any butt-related words. I still laugh when I reminice...

"Andy, I'm never going to get that image out of my head." ~ Bob.
This was said on the last day of band camp when all the upperclassmen guys wore shorty shorts (and there were a lot of them). One of the sousaphone captains did a Captain Morgan pose against his sousa and Bob happened to be looking at Andy when he did. Stuff was visible, so it was hilarious. xd

our band teach mr. bowling always tell us to do whatever the parent volunteers say. the the drum section leader mark (gotta love the kid) always adds "unless its illegal, immoral, or dangerous." our band director is from georgia, and we are in ct, so he has a really strong southern accent, and over annunciates everything. its pretty funny, but he's great.

We have three band directors. Mrs. Plemons (the high school band director) when talking about the songs from Chicago said, "the lawyer is really good at getting others off." Then there was a really long pause and a trumpet burst out laughing and then the rest of the band chimed in.
Mr. Perrin is the drumline teacher and the elementary school band director.
I said, "Mr. Perrin, I have a question."
Mr. Perrin, "Yes, I smoke crack but don't tell anyone."
Mrs. Dyre is the middle school band director and she always tells us to act like we are holding a marble between our buttcheeks during band camp. I don't really know why.
