Quote interesting, funny, or just plain stupid things your band director(s) have said. Explain if necessary.
There was lightning at our rehearsal. The rule is that if it's more than five miles away, we stay outside. The lightning was clearly close, but he wouldn't let us go in. He stands on a really tall scaffold, so someone told him he would be the first one hit. His response:
"What?! That's ridiculous. Aluminum doesn't conduct electricity!"

There's lots of funny band quotes from our directors/fellow marching members... xD:
+ "Since we're bandos, if you pour milk on us, will we lower your cholesterol?"
+ "Marching band is nothing more than a group of talented and dedicated people showing to the public that they don't really have lives outside of band."
+ "RESET"
" I'M NOT A FREAKIN' PLAYSTATION!"
+ "Low brass, you're being too romantic! You should be thinking of a burly Russian woman - with chest hair!"
A few measures later, "Now she's had her chest hair plucked."
+ "You need to go out there and prove that you ARE the shiznit!""
+ "Contrary to what [band director] says, this is NOT Satan's parade. It's Santa's parade. You guys are playing like it's a funeral march."
+ (To a girl who kept missing her spot in drill): "You gotta lay off the crack. neutral "
OHYEAH. There was also one part in our show where the bass drum person in pit had to hit their bass drum really loud because it was supposed to be thunder. They either kept missing/did it too quiet.
+ Band director: "SMACK THAT THING."
Us: *dying of laughter*

well it's not a quote exactly but it what's he told us the principal and his son said once.
High school Principal’s Son: You see that band?
Principal: Yeah.
Son: Did you see how they were moving around and talking?
Principal: (nodding) Yeah.
Son: Our band would never do that. That’s what makes them the best.

"You have to know the chromatic section so well it becomes second nature, like a tree growing."
"You guys have to earn your water. I am not legally obliged to let you have water. It says nothing in your contract about water."
"Clean the drill. Do the laundry."
"Deanna, you do not have a large butt." (I'm not Deanna)
"That was a run-through? Give me a break!!!"
entire band: "Give US a break!"
"play the organ, not the pipe."
"FIND THE PITCH CENTER!!!"
"You know the drug Prozac, ment for menopausal women? This section needs some of that right now."

Although the band director who said this left the year before I got there, There were enough reanactments of it for me to get the gist of it:
"This is not a squat....THIS IS A SQUAT!" (apparently someone wasn't doin em right)
"I wouldn't by that if it were on clearance."
_________________________________________
These are frome the BD from last year:
"Warm up suit: $[insert price here]. Fair share $[some number past the hundreds]. Seeing Mr. Johnson fall off the podium: priceless."
___________________________________________
This one's fromour current BD:
"Nichelle, do I need to get some happy blue pills?"
Nichelle: "No. The people at Meridan already tried to drug me!"
BD: "Not for you. For me if you quit."
========================================
"Now you see Mr. Hot Sauce here..."
(it's only funny because "Hot Sauce" (the person) doesn't act mature enough 95% of the time to get a Mister to his name...)

"Run to water! Run!"
"Flutes! What are you doing?! You look like you are humping the air! Stop humping the air!"

I can't remember some of the funnier quotes, but here are some of them.
Whenever our BD gets angry, his left eye starts to twitch and a vein on his forehead pops out, and someone shouted "Fear the wrath of Ron!" (Ron is our BD)
"This band lacks discipline, do you know what lack of discipline is? The starting line of the Detroit Lions."
One of our computer teachers came into class one day and said this..."Ron, what are you and your wife doing tonight?" Our BD turns and looks at us with a weird look...[Insert awkward silence here.]
Funny stuff lol.

All of my band directors have been clinically insane.
Two years ago:
"Would you buy that sound? I'd put it on layaway"
"We're having a Blue Light special on clarinet reeds"
"We're having Cardinals for dinner"
Last year:
"I'm a grown woman"
"Doggone it"
"Billie Jean is not my- Can't say that word!!!"
This year:
(talking about accented notes) "You really have to smack that"
"Don't take the field until I say word... Word"
"Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to recall the year 1968" *
*this sentence was modified because it would've given away which band I'm in

this quote is from one of the people who come teach us everything since our directors basically dont teach us anything they leave it for the other poeple, the directors just watch and see if were doing it right.
"just imagine they are two sausages sliding next to eachother"
