The flute section always says, "We are silent but deadly."
The sax section always says, "Damn, we're saxy."
The drum section always says, "I like to beat things."
The trombone section always says, "Watch out, you almost hit my tromboner."
The clarinets, in my band, are all goth. We try not to talk to them...
Comment if your sections say anything funny.

I don't want to die slowly, I don't want to decay; I want to be chosen, I want to be made My personal motto for our flute section: "Blow hard, or go home." xD I don't want to die lonely and weary of life; I will not be earth bound, I'm goin' to fly

We viewed the piccolo with the saying of: "we'll screech or die trying"

"PERCUSSION CONFIDENCE"
We have a hand sign to go with it, too.

We constantly get new members in the trumpet section. On days where we train the newbies, we have a little joke that goes something like this...
"So, this is how you play the trumpet.
Step one: Apply mouthpiece to lips."
Then we have one of the more experienced players demonstrate.
"Step two: Wail crazily."
Again, in-depth demonstration.
"Step three: Pelvic thrust when necessary."
Then, the guy plays the highest note he possibly can, and begins a violent pelvic thrust until he runs out of air.
Usually, it scares away about half of the newbies that want to play trumpet. It's actually really funny.

to encourage the freshmen to play out so they hear their mistakes we always say "STRONG AND WRONG" it makes band camp interesting when they actually listen to the advice

For clarinets: "We squeal and blow harder than your mom ever could." Especially to this one kid in our band. He looks like hes gonna give birth to something (or a bj) whenever he plays. AND hes 2nd chair!! biggrin
