We were playing, and Our teacher(Schoonover) swung his arms so the trombones to come in, and John (our french Horn) Came in two bars early. and Schoon stopped the rehearsal, and was like
"John you came in 2 friggin bars early! Do you know how to count?"
And John goes.
"Well your hands got big, and every time you hands get big I play."
We laughed and Schoon Goes.
"Yeah John, whenever my hands get big it means PLAY JOHN PLAY!!!!!"
And we all laughed.
-------------------------------------
Or last week when Our teacher Schoonover turned 30. We all drew 30s on paper, and stuck them all over the band room, on his window, and a banner outside of his door. And we made a little grave saying.
"Here lies the Youth of Jason."
-----------------------------------------------------Last one
Or when John (French Horn) had to go to the councelor to talk about what he wanted to be when he gets out of high school, and we were all trying to give him ideas that would make Griffin mad.
And he's like
"I wanna be a Horn Star!"
And we all just laughed. It was great.

xp Yesterday during practice Brian (baritone player) broke the stand, again... So we assigned him #40 because that's one he seems not to brake yet xd . Then Ben (one directore) started singing really high pitch opera type stuff 3nodding . It reminds us of the Skittles commercial with the singing bunny but higher pitch. Seeing a 6'7" 21yrold man singing high than girls sweatdrop ...is funny, and a bit scary...but more funny rofl

Well in band we are playing a Pirates of the Carribean song; some people made made pirate hats out of construction paper. Our conductor even conducted the piece with one of them one; she looked riduculous. She even talked to us with it on.
There's that time when our conductor pointed out Ascap on the music and Ryan ( a trombone player) started to draw an a** (as in butt) on his paper with a hat. Then for Matt (also a trombone player) , Ryan drew a ganster a** cap.
The trumpet players have a god named Stella, whom they prayed to before the first concerts of the year. They'd get into a circle, then crouch down, wiggle, and get back up. Their trumpets were in the center of the circle. At the end, I think they shouted Stella. Other sections were welcome to join and some people from other sections did join.

This never happened while I was at my school, but the previous band director (Mr. Heller) was at a marching competition, and the band was in the middle of the show, when suddenly the whole band saw as Mr. HEller crashed and burned from the top of the ladder ( I don't know what that thing is called, DIrectors or Drum Majors stand on them during shows) and he dented the ladder. We still have that ladder around the band room, as a souvenir of that competition.

When we were practicing, someone smashed a window behind us. It was so scary, but amazingly, not one bit of glass touched any of us, but was all around us...
Theres also a legend that in that room there is a ghost...The Ghost of M3

My section and I (Trumpets) always do this weird ritual in which we get in a circle and spit into it right before a marching band performance. This year it was so cold at our last performance that my friend slipped on the frozen spit when we were lining up afterwards. Unfortunately his trumpet was not spared and was smashed so badly it was 6 inches shorter. We still make fun of him for it.

I remember one day our band director was telling us one of his famous stories. After he was done we got ready to play and my flute was at my face and suddenly I sneezed really hard and I banged my face into my flute. No one saw except for him and some of the other flutes but my band director of course had to stop everyone in the band and tell them what just happened.
That's what I am known for now. Sneezing into my flute. xD

Okay, so this is a story of what happened yesterday between 2 of my friends, Gauri and Brian. The whole school (including staff) think they should go out, and this is what happened in band yesterday.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Brian (a trumpet) was absent from school yesterday. When we got to band, our director, Mr. Simpson, had to fill in the trumpet section since our first chair trumpet wasn't there. When he came back down to conduct his song, he looked at Gauri (clarinet) and started laughing. Everybody else was like "??". So then Simpson said, "I just realized from where Brian sits he has a clear view of Gauri." We all laughed so hard! rofl Of course, she just sent him a death glare. ^^;
So next block in language arts, my friend AJ was imitating playing a trumpet, then gazing longingly at her. Lol then she punched him too.

My band director came into class the other day wearing his wife's apron.
It was black and pink with white polka dots and said "Domestic Diva!" on it.
What the hell.
Also, our jazz director will sometimes get out a piccolo and do a little jig while playing it.
