Well, me and my friend made a band dictionary once, but now i want to make one with my fellow Gaians.
Ok people, you just have to think of something in band and make up a definition for it. (something funny, but it makes sense. lol)
Example sad Valve Oil- The magical fluid used in a brass instrument to make the valves "movey-ish" It is an Elixir of Life to Brass Players and it can be drunk as a brass initiation.) Now everyone make up a definition of something in band!!! biggrin

The note reads:
Wood: n. Slang term for reed. Also what many percussion instruments are made of.
Bang: v. Percussionists do this in order to make sound. Many perverted jokes can come from this definition, I assure you. Feel free to make them. We will laugh.
Stick: 1. n. A percussion tool, or the conductor's baton. 2. v. To play percussion, you must 'stick' correctly. (Warning: Dangerous for any outside the percussion world to attempt, it may fry less (or more, not many lesser minds exist outside the percussion world) advanced minds.)
Bass drum: n. The only bisexual drum of percussion section. Meaning you can bang it on both sides.
Mezzoforte: n. Not in percussion or trumpet vocabulary. Meaning unknown by this percussionist. Woodwinds, feel free to improvise as to what this means.
Mezzopiano, Piano, or below: See 'mezzoforte'.
Yes, I dissed my own section. Whut're you gonna do, punk? Huh? What you say? xd Respectfully,
The Forum Ghost!

Ritard. - verb? Short for ritardando which means exactly what it looks like; Slow down.
Piano - adj. Softly. This word does not exist in Brass vocabulary, unless you play a concert French Horn, in which case it's only in your vocabulary sometimes. Also used to refer to the instrument. If you are a woodwind instrument, you should be familiar with this, so your definition is 'Play under or support the brass'
Tuner - noun. That little annoying thing you try to match your pitch to. If you play brass, this is just the annoying thing part, matching it isn't an requirement.
Drop - verb. To do push-ups until told to stop, or until you pass out
Attention - noun. The state of being at attention. verb. To come to attention. It means don't move or you will drop (see above)

Fall apart: (v.) 1: To have the band not watch the conductor, and go their own ways. Only once has this worked that I know of, where it looked like everything was supposed to be half-a-beat off...the band was luckily consistant with its epic fail. 2: To fall apart, like our crappy vibraphone which is missing a part and was repaired with a drill chart...which we colored over in black marker so it wasn't a white spot in the middle of the black frame. -_-;;;
