Let me share mine:
In our band, we have three tubas. One of them managed to loose his mouthpeice. We tore the room apart looking for it and never found it. He went a week without before deciding to get one after school today, a decision everyone applauded. Then came lunch. I was at the store with my friends and I happened to look at the lost and found and saw, amazingly, a tuba mouthpiece. I brought it back to the room and everyone was happy. The End. But we quizzed the tubaist intensely about how his mouthpiece ended up at the store. he didn't know, it was a mystery... Or maybe it fell out of his backpack and he was just being stupid. I mean, seriously Zach, how do you get your mouth piece all the way to the store rolleyes ?

When a new person joins they are immediately put on baritone if they have no prior musical experience, which puts too much pressure on the low brass captains.

A lot of the marching trumpets have started using plastic mouthpieces to combat the cold.
The directors don't particularly like it, but they tolerate it so w/e.
But today, one of the trumpets managed to drop his horn in a way that broke the mouthpiece.
So now he's got the shank, with no cup attached, stuck in the lead pipe.
...I nearly lol'd, then felt kinda bad >>;

the MOST would be that our director slept with the pic player, resigned from the county, and left us hanging mid-marching season.
on a less horrible note, i could say the most idiotic thing would be that the worst clarinet player in the band was given a solo in the show. confused
but in comparison the first, that's not too idiotic at all..

but in comparison the first, that's not too idiotic at all.. the first thing you said, that also happened last year at the nearby school in my county, except I'm not sure what instrument the girl played. The School it happened at was Nature coast in Hernando county. the most most idiotic thing that' happened in my band was that our BD got us all hyped about state competition then he says we're not going because, apparently, the state competition takes the arts out of the school.

At an away game this season, when we did jog-on for halftime, at least three people were on the wrong side of the 50 or otherwise in the wrong place, so right before we start playing you could see people sprinting to their spots. It looked so stupid -_- And our director made fun of us later. "durrrr which way is north?"

Other then our stadium lights deciding to break on us last week and causing both us adn the footlball team plenty of turmoil(including band rehearsal in pitch dark) the most idiotic thing would be our bus issue.
Our district has been stupid this year, trying to save money. Instead, they keep risky over $65K of equipment and uniforms. They refuse to let us keep buses the whole day at fesitvals, forcing us to have to take everything in our equipment tuck and have the smaller isntruments outside of cases on the bus.
Then, for state last weekend, they tried to give us one bus. We have had two or more for the past I don't know how many years. around 5. And now they are saying we don't need two. Well, we proved them wrng. Needless to say, we are buying our own coach buses for state championships this saturday.
And outside of this year, my friend broke a bus window with his tuba mouthpiece. He threw his backpack onto the bus seat on our way to school becuase we both rode the same bus to school, and he was being weird, so he just threw it onto the seat. unfortunately, his backpack hit the window, and the whole thin cracked. It didn't fall apart, but it was completely destroyedXD upon inspection of his backpack, the only thing that could have broken anythig was his tuba moutpiece, which seemed pretty beleivableXD

My marching band didn't have many ridiculous things this year...
Other than the rain every weekend, and one kid accidentally chucking a water bottle out an open window on the way to the parade from States...
The most ridiculous thing currently though?
Jazz band tryouts are all day tomorrow, basically. And has my director had time (or copy machines) to figure out something for me to learn in 24 hours?
Nope.
He tells me 'Just show up, I'll have something by then.'
...and if I know him, he won't have anything and somehow it'll just have to be a winged audition on both our ends. ...and if I REALLY know my director, I'll still somehow make it. And I used to wonder why the only auditions I pass are the ones for school bands. :l

my friend plays the french horn, this friend happens to be amasingly ridiculous in a bad way, and every one knows it he's obnoxious but doesnt realize it, anyway most if not the entire band hates him. Even though he can be a really nice guy.
Also in our band is a tuba player, she's a preppy b***h who switched from flute to tuba off of an impulse.
ANYWAY
One day we were playing a peice of music we had gotten like two days ago and the band director says "Nathan, why arent you playing"
Nate: "I think someone took my music."
Band teacher: "Will everyone check their parts to make sure they dont have a french horn part.
Tuba player raises her hand. "i have a french horn part but it's not his."
Nathan: *whispers to first french horn* "she totally stole that"
tuba player: *Over hears nate, because he doesnt whisper as quietly as he thinks he does* "WHAT?!"
nate: "Just give it back, please"
TUBA: ITS NOT YOURS!
nate: "You play the tuba why would you have a french horn part?
tuba: " because there were no tuba parts!"
nate: What the hell? your a tuba, Jessica has the part, why cant you share a stand and just give me the part back?"
tuba: *gets really mad*
"WHY WOULD I STEAL YOUR ******** PART?!"
band teacher: "HEY! sit down and be quiet. Nathan look off of kirk!"
Nate: "but He's first part and im second"
*our teacher ends up having to angirly go to his office and dig through a filing cabinet to look for a second french horn part*
NOW THAT! is ridiculous.

All of grade 9 (Last year) I was really annoyed how we played such easy songs.
So, I was extremely excited to join Senior band, (Grade 10, 11, 12) The first few weeks was fun, and every week I'd have a, "12 periods until band!" countdown goin' on on Facebook.
Then. One dark day. The BD told us that there were only like 20 grade 9s, so all the grade 10s will be moved down to junior band, but she'll be keeping a few with senior.
I was sure she wouldn't pick me to stay, but she did, and I was soooo happy.
But then that night, she called and told me that one of the other grade 10s that played my instrument my had prior commitments scheduled every Jr. Band night, ('Cause we'd been doing senior band for a few weeks) so, after being so happy, I had to be in Junior band. Hey, I can't get mad at them, its not really their fault. But, it was MUCH more crushing the second time finding out I'd have to spend another year playing easy stuff. And of course we've all improved over the course of the year, so its going to seem even more easy.
We already have our music fest pieces, and all of the grade 10s can play them. The grade 9s, however........
well lets just say that even though all of us 10s can play the pieces, they still sound awful.
And it REALLY sucks, because music Fest Nationals is in Ottawa this year, so we can actually go if we get gold. I don't know if Jr. Band will now.
And this would be my one chance to go! ('Cause we don't go if its far away)
*sigh*

One band practice morning, I came to class expecting to play my flute.
Turns out it was a testing day. My band director told us to put our instruments in our lockers, so we did.
Then during testing, he told us to bring out our instruments, but my friend said "But you told us to put them in our lockers"
So the band director got all pissed.
And gave us 1 minute to get our instruments.
But too bad for me. Since my locker was all the way on the fourth floor. And the band room was on the 3rd.
At the opposite direction of my locker.
I basically sprinted to my locker neutral

Not our band, but my bd was telling us a real funny story last night about his days in college.
He told us this because we ended marching season after state championships, but w are still going to football games as an oversized pep and and therefore at halftime we run onto the field and play a few songs(3 of our marching show plus one we learned a few days ago. Yay we wll rock you!) Well, he was telling not to run too fast onto the field and gave us first a story about an idiot who graduated last ear. He said that the kid went running super fast with a bass drum and the next thing they know, he is going one way and his bass drum is going the other way. Then he stole said bass drum from the drumline person playing it and pointed out the large crack in itXD But, that isn't the storyXD The story below was told because it happened at the stadium we were at, right next to his old university, when they had a night where his badn went to the highschool football game there(This is not the highschool we go to. It was an howay game. In others words, it was considered home, but our stadium lights are having issues so we went to another schools stadium)
So my b was talking about how his college band(Go Pride!) always runs onto the field instead of marching. He then went into this story about how one time all of the tubas went running and this tuba player hit a hole and fell. When he got up, the bell of his tuba was pulled completely back and apparently the whole thing was pretty bloody. Poor tubaXD We laughed so hard, and because this was at halftime i'm sure we got a few sares from the rival bandXD
