i'm sure you've all felt that awkward feeling when you go into the band room and notice you have a sub
and you're not sure if they're musical or not and it's like "uuuuuuhhhh what do i do"
YOU KNOW? gonk
anyways, i wanna here some stories you guys have from having a sub in band class :V
i'll start:
a few months ago, we lost our band director due to uh.. bad.. things.. ANYWAYS, the day after he was uh, excused.. we had a sub
it was this chubby little woman, probably in her late 50's
before she even introduced herself to us, she sat at podium and recited a poem to us
then she asked each of us what instrument we played
by the end of the period, we had her convinced that we had an electric triangle ensemble
LOL
and here's another!
last thursday our new director was out with the stomach flu, so we had a sub
he was a very round man, in a red and green knitted sweater and big circle glasses
in 8th period band we were doing warm-ups and our director had left a note for him to have us the the Db scale exercises
the sub read the note, and then looked at us and said, "Db scale? IIIIIIIII don't think so! lets just do C." and snapped his fingers
LOL it was hilarious
and he just kept making these hilarious comments to us

One day last year, we had this creepy old man sub. Our BDs left to go do something with the squad leaders of our marching band, and they told the sub to just kinda let us chill.
Welll, my at-the-time boyfriend would leave his lunch early to come chill in the band room after class. But since he'd had band earlier in the day, and knew there was a sub, he skipped all together.
We were sitting close to each other, and his arm was around me. As we were talking to a group of our friends, the sub comes over, and just goes "Hey you. Stand up."
The boyfriend went "Uh....what?"
He goes "That kind of contact will not be permitted. I don't wanna see you teenagers all lovey-dovey in my band class. Stand up."
So, he made him stand for the rest of the period. Even though it was kind of uncalled for, since we weren't doing anything, I still found it pretty funny. XD

We have this one sub all the time... (and he has the Coolest. name. ever.) so we wait until the middle school BD shows up, then we have band.
but when the middle school BD isn't there either, the sub lets us do whatever we want. Generally, that consists of 1. playing tuba 2. playing valve trombone 3. playing trumpet. (we play pretty much anything we feel like. but, as an unspoken rule, we stick to woodwinds or brass, except for one of our tubas, who can play soprano sax really well...)
But we have games we play with chairs and tennis balls. There's Chairball and Handball.
Handball, basically, is tennis, but on one knee.
Chairball is very intricate, PM me for details if you care that much.

Last year my band instructor was sick and we had this old lady who was lucky she could see and all of our flutes played there instrument backwards and us clarinet players swiched the hands and she never noticed and we were all laughing and she kept on asking us why it was a great day......
Then this year we had a sub who was a total douche and he like made us do these like breathing things the WHOLE hour and it was the most annoying thing ever!!!

Ahh, classic.
The clueless band sub.
My friend once switched instruments with someone, and the sub didn't even notice. Even though my friend hadn't played that instrument before. lol

We always go into sectionals when we have subs, so we can't laugh at their mistakes. :[
One time our director had one of the pit techs be our sub for band...that was fun. =D She told us stories about her brother, the scary drumline tech who lots of people hate. :] Apparently he broke her nose when they were kids... xd
