i have TONS of funny stories about stuff taht my friends and i have gotten into during band... but ill just tell the 2 best ones....
1. last year our band room didnt have a practice room, so if we needed to practice some thing, we had to use the closet. my director can be a bit of a pack rat, so there were old cases laying around and instruments that could never possibly be fixed, etc in there. i was standing up, talking to one of my friends that was in there with me, and i wasnt really paying attention. so i stepped backwards and tripped over a tuba case. unfortunatly, the roloing cart my bd used to store music was right behind the case. so of course i fell on that and went rolling throungh the closet, (which is really long) screaming all the way. i finally managed to free myself from the cart, and the bd came i nand was like 'what just happened?' my friend and i were laughing to hard to answer him.
2. my friends and i were getting ready for our all district band concert. we were putting our cases and stuff in another room so that we could go out on stage. so one of my friends goes 'do we leave our instruments here too?' and i told her no, we have to play the instruments. she got the most confused look on her face a goes 'what? since when?' so i had to explain to her that we were at all district band, getting really to go out on stage and play our concert. the sad part was that she was perfectly serious, she really had no clue what was going on.

I've got a couple stories
1. During a District competition the wind ensamble was playing this really cool march, they were at the trio and the BD's cell phone went off! This was during competition, we heard it on the recording the next day.
2.We were in clinic after the competiton mentioned above and our BD was talking with one of the judges (we had been the last of the day) while we were being taugh. So we got the instruction to miss one every four notes (to play at 75% like required grades) and our BD didn't hear. I swear he almost had a heart attack when he heard us play!
3. We were marching to the field for a competition when a buch of guys from another school commented on one of our sections. These were his exact words "Wow girl tuba's!" you'd think they'd have seen this rare species before.
Strange facts about our band:
1. we call the Star Spangled Banner the Star Spangled Bannana (BD's idea)
2. Our BD frequently threatens to get boxes of eraser, marshmellows, ect. to throw at those who miss their entrances.
Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head

One time, some people came up from Arkansas to see Brockton High School. The last thing they would see would be our band. Our BD noticed that our trumpets screwed up a lick of the music and he shouted "Stupid trumpets!" Then he said, "Are they out there? They wouldn't want me to insult you. They want me to 'expand your minds.' Yeah, I'll expand your minds." One of the flute players, who left earlier to make some copies, came back and said, "They're in the hall." The BD said, "Did I ever tell you how much I love you guys?" We laughed until we had to play the next piece of music, Pirates of the Carribbean! xd

During marching band one early saturday morning (5:30) we had to be at the school. well i got there and laid down and went to sleep. Well my section gat a wild idea. see our instrument lockers were like plastic shelves with bar doors and a place to put your lock. the tuba ones were big so the put me in one and locked and everyone thought it was the funniest thing they ever saw... but i got revenge... i put laxative in everyone of their drinks after the show

Okay, during one rehearsal our stupid baritone player played a wrong note again. So my crazy lovable BD freaks out and yells "Who played A flat??!?!? He raised his hand and our BD screams "You're a loser!!!!" as the class explodes with laughter.

I lost my flute once....I ran around in a panic, nearly in tears. I had put it on a table while I was helping to take down after a concert and when i came back to get it, it was gone!! But...the little rich sophomore's sliver flute and golden piccolo were left in the place where my flute had been. I took them as hostages!!! She later told me (to get her precious instruments back) that he friend had mistaken my flute for hers and had taken mine and put it (in all the places!) in the trumpet and other loser brass room!!! Terrified, for my flute HATES brass instruments, I ran to the trumpet room, grabbed my baby and caressed him with sweet kisses. I'll never loose him again. *smiles*

My BD is funny to here are some examples: Well she was in collage and a room mate was making toast.Well the toast was smoking a lot and my BD was like um your toast is on fire you need to get it out.The room mate was like It hasn't popped up yet, so it isn't done. Now my BD got mad because this girl was dumb and got a free scholorship at this private collage and my smart BD has to pay! Well my BD was you need to put out the toast now get the fire extiguisher because the fire alarm is going off! The room mate was like How? My BD was like read the directions, and the room mate still didn't get it. So, my BD put out the fire.The toaster was now melted. anMy BD alost beat the girl but she didn't. So now whenever we talk about common sense in band we say toast. My BD always says not to play breathy and says not to play like Britney Spears,cause my BD thinks Britney has a breathy tone when she sings

kk. Well we were practacing 4 our band concert in a week and we were being all serious, cause it was really important. so we start playing our hardest piece and hlf way through all of the trumpets in the back start cracking up like crazy rofl we couldnt stop 4 our lives! so the teach goes guys what's wrong with u? and we tell him that a kid named daniel the sax player in front of us tuned around and made a hilarious face while still playing his sax! u had 2 b there moment!
oh k even more funny! i call these tuba locker "accidents".
1. we hv a sub and it's the end of the day in 8th per. Daniel (again) tells her he cant find his backpack. while she looks in the storage closet daniel mystyriously finds his backpack in a tuba locker and bends down to pick it up. This guy pushes him in and locks him in there until finally the sub comes out and made the guy unlock daniel.
2.it was the end of the concert and we were putting our instruments away. we couldnt leave cause they hv a stupid rule where we cant leave till our parents pick us up so we were messin around. so the teach "guarding us goes outside. a kid climbs into the tuba locker and doesnt think anyone would lock him in. he thought wrong. 2 guys held the door close while another grabs a lock. they lock him in and of course he begs 4 forgivness. but the no one of those guys know the combo 2 the lock! so we ran around the room looking the person who owned locker # blabla. we found him 10 mon. ltr and the guy in the locker gets clostraphobia. JK he doesnt get clostraphobia but does learn his lesson! biggrin

forgot one! one day a girl walks in and says to the teach "i sorta broke my flute" she shows him and the flute is totally bent in half in a 90 degree angle. he says "how did that happen?" she says "i got mad" he says "then what happened" she says i hit my flute against the door" so she buys a new flute and that is the end of the story (that's all our teach old us) rofl .
