Ah ha ha, Alot of things happen that I can't name them all. x3
The other day we were practing marching, and I needed a new neck strap. I went back to get one with one of my conductors and Mr. 'Pas is like;
"Why do you need a neckstrap? You never play with one."
"... Kinda need one now."
"... Why, you have a peg."
"... but Pegs don't work when marching! ;-;"
"... why would you be marching?"
"... Um, your kinda conducting the marching band tonight Mr. 'pas."
"... OH DUH. Well you could just use a really long peg you know. Thats why I was questioning the neckstrap."
Then I brought My Baritone Saxophone home today, and that thing ways a ******** load, so I walk out the door..
"LOL. IT'S BARI NIGHT. HAVE FUN GIRLS, DON'T LET YOUR ARMS FALL OFF!"

Hartmetz: So I was thinking that maybe we could have our spring concert in the Hallmark parking lot or something...they're letting the jazz band do it. And it'd be nice. Although things happen...like birds. You're not gonna go through an event with this many people without having someone get pooped on.

Well this one happens all the time in my band... You see the trumpet section (that's me! wink ) has a hard time remembering F# as opposed to F, so... our director will stop the band and yell: "TRUMPETS! F # ! How do you finger that?" we reply "second valve". He says: "That's right, second valve. Middle finger. Don't make that mistake again or I'll have to show it to you!

okay, for all those crrr-ay-zee clarinet play-as out there this is what my band director said,"You always blow the same amount of air. No matter what the tempo is or the level of loudness." For me, this is impossible and comletely crazy.

Okay so my band director sometimes tells us random stories about what's been going on with him and stuff and one day he told us when he got home from work, his wife was making cupcakes. So here's how it went:
BD:"Did you go to the store to get cupcake mix?"
Wife:"No. We have cake mix."
BD:"No. Don't you need cupcake mix to make cupcakes?"
And this just went on with them arguing about cupcake mix. It was freakin hilarious. Everyone in the band room was laughing there @$$e$ off. The worst part is one of the kids in the band (who's my friend) also though cupcakes were made with cupcake mix.
So it was like 2 days after the story and we still didn't get it out of our systems. So my two band directors Mr.*Last name here* and Mrs. *Last name here* were doing one of their funny random arugments and when Mrs. *Last name here* was heading back to the band director office place, this is what went on:
Mr. *Last name here*:"I swear she could kill someone playing the trumpet" (Mrs. *Last name here* even admits herself that she plays the trumpet horribly)
Band:Oooooooooh!
Me: *raises hand* "At least she knows how to make cupcakes."
Band: OOOHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! (BURN!)
It was the best ever. I love my band directors.

Hartmetz: Yeah Robbie, you'll be called 'Crutch' or something if you're on those crutches for any longer...
Me: At least he won't be 'Tinkles' like Harrison.
Hartmetz, Robbie, Molly, Skyelar: ...o_0?
Me: Y'know, Hartmetz, the thing in Spain---
Hartmetz: OH YEAH! rofl He plays this part in Spain that says 'tinkles'. Like...windchimes, but...no, it says 'tinkles'! So Harrison's Tinkles because of it. XDDDD
Hartmetz: Ryan, play the melody so they can get the pitch right.
Ryan: *tenatively plays it on his piano, quiet*
Hartmetz: CAN YOU BE A LITTLE LOUDER? >_>
Ryan: *louder...then messes up from being freaked out* >> I got lost.
Us: RYAN MESSED UP? OH MY GOD IT'S THE APOCALYPSE. o____o
Everyone: lol

"♪♫" My band director got mad at us... so she threw the baton at the floor while yelling. We all started laughing though because it ricocheted off the floor and hit the oboe player on the head!
I know thats not really anything she said, but It was HILARIOUS! "♪♫"

My band director's best quote ever:
The band was goofing off one day, and our band director was goofing off too. The conversation led to the percussionists offering for our band director to strip. He said no, of course. The lead snare drummer, Josh, holds up a dollar. Our band director simply replies:
"Sorry, but I'm not your momma."
biggrin

It was during marching season... and we were working on our GEs for the field show... and it was where we had to get on our knees and play... and the flutes and clarinets kept for getting... so my teacher goes back and says to them... "GET ON YOUR KNEES AND BLOW!!!" xD Also his random "What in the crap?!" moments is awesome lol

Our teacher was talking to the clarinets about how to play a march style when he said copy the fruits. He meant flutes, but he didn't notice until our class was laughing and he apologized. But it made the day more fun. Our band teacher has some of the weirdest metaphors for music.
