I love my high school band. The other day we were talking about how we have to play on the bleachers at football games. Aaron, our master drum player, was saying that it is very hard for the drum players to play while they are crouching to the seat in front of him. Mrs. Dixon said, "I'm a clarinet player; I have no sympathy for you."
"No musicality, either." The rest of the class says "OOOHHH!!!"
He realized what he had just said wrong and his face turned red. He returned back to where the rest of the drummers were and Mrs. Dixon asked, "Why is your face so red?"
"Because you're going to suspend me." He said trying to hold in his laughter, "It was supposed to be a mumble but it came out a lot louder."
We continued with the next song but Mrs. Dixon kept her eye on Aaron the whole time. When we hit the last note he shouted, "Quit staring at me like that! It scares me!" Then everything went back to normal.
I loved that day because of the battle between them. I hope one day I will know when a battle will happen and I can video tape it.

It's from when Nick was new to the band and helping in cleaning the instruments room. One of the senior girls who is like a size 0 found a skirt in her bin. She went to Nick and dared him to wear it. The skirt was a stretchy so Nick could fit into it. When Nick came back, he had shorts on, he had the skirt and it barely even went halfway down his theighs. He was prancing around and waving his butt everywhere saying: "I gots me a skirt on!" Well, a few seconds into this little ordeal, our old band director who is know for running his fingers through his hair, throwing pencils at people and clicking sticks together to keep the beat, came in and saw everything. When Nick finally saw him, they both were frozen. They stared at each othe. Nick's face got redder and redder. He said 'Hi' then bolted out of the room. Our old BD just shook his head and walked away saying: "I don't even want to know..."

In my band the saxophones are very soft so at this one part in a song our BD told them to blow! He said "Blow! Saxophones Blow! Don't make me get on my knees and beg you! Just blow!"
Everyone in band tried keeping straight faces but we all were laughing so hard even the saxophones. My poor BD didn't get it.... band must have changed alot since his high school days or maybe he blocked his memories out on purpose. XD rofl

Mine too. which brings back halloween memories The trumpet section leader came to school in a halloween costume of previous halloween costumes. Take it this way, he said he was raiding his halloween closet, but almost everyone's reactions were "Yeah, your sister's closet." He was wearing a bright green short dress with black tights and black fuzzies. On his head was a black and blue witches hat with attached orange wig. On his feet were elf shoes with bells and rainbow socks. The skirt barely went down to his thighs. Og, and do't fogret the silver sparkly sunglasses. Our bd walked in, looked at him for about five minutes frozen in spot, then the sentence "I don't even want to know." We all started laughing. ten the process repeated when one of our drum majors walked in wearing a penguin costume, complete with beaked hoodie and foot slippers.

Okay, so a while back ago one of my friends and my best friend, Jacob and Xan, were in one of the storage rooms with me and Ian (My boyfriend), because we were assigned to practice in there...WELL what happened was Jacob was trying to get back his trombone from Xan and he accidentally touched her in the chest....and than he screams "Oh my gosh! I didn't feel anything I swear!" So than I scream "OMG YOU"RE GAY?!??!!" So I hold that against him and than in the middle of class my BD yells "JACOB AND EDDIE QUIT HOLDING HANDS ON START PLAYING!" So I hold THAT against him too and so he gets mad everytime I call him gay now...but it's hilarious. We think he's in denial right now 3nodding xd

Okay this is a sad(I question that) story, but here's what happened. This one idiot noob down in the sixth grade band(aah the good times... NOT) decided to eat skittles before he played his poor little alto sax. As put by people I know, they all told him not to do it, but he just went on and popped them into his mouth. Band class starts and and plays with much vigor and excitement... A week later... Multicolored mold. Yeah uuuuugh and poor poor saxophone. That kid got a beat down from our BD in the morning. It was brilliant. Kids from all the grades were like tsk tsk, what an idiot.

I have a story.
So last year, we got a new BD. He worked harder, and some people had issues with that. But by the end of band camp, we had the potential to be the best marching band in the county. And my county has some pretty stiff competition. But then the first game happened.
The colorguard coach got fired during the first game. And her boyfriend, the drumline instructor, quit after that because of issues he had with our new BD. And because of that, 5 out of 7 of our drummers, including drumline captain, quit. All this happened in the third quarter. And the next practice, our woodwind captain and drum major quit, too.
I'd like to add that at this point, we were a band of less than twenty members.
So we were left with a drumline of two, one student leader left (cause I was brass captain), and a more than shaken band. But I'm glad to say we pulled it together. I stepped up to be drum major, and the BD and me picked the new captains. The goal wasn't to win competitions or whatever. It was to survive. We had to keep the band together, or else there would be no marching band. And we did. We pulled in new members throughout the season, kept our show going, and even impressed most of the 8th graders from our feeder schools for once.
Probably the most memorable season I'll ever have, honestly.

Sooo many stories, I'll have to probably post one a day, not starting today though =P You guys want Band Camp, Band Trip, or Band Class stories first? XP Ahhh, finally. I find others I can relate to. I moved this year and it's my senior year in high school, so I spent 3 years in one school, then my senior, which I am currently in, I moved. I have played in band sicne the 5th grade, with the exception of my 7th grade year. Past 2 1/2 years I was in honors band, before that concert band, and alst eyar was in jazz band, and past 2 years in marching band. Now I am in no music classes, and it sucks. I almost feel -shudders, cue horror music and screams- NORMAL crying So this guild ahs really helped preserve my inner musician. Now that ou read my biogaphy (lol), which one of the categories do you wanna hear stories from first? =P

OK ok this is funny.
My friend is playing Warbucks in the school play Annie (I'm Grace) but so I wlk into band. I see him, and I saw a glimpse of his head. I knew something was on his head, but I didn't know what. I looked again, and he was wearing a bald cap. He looked hilarious, and I started laughing. You know your day is going to strange when the first thing you see when you walk into band is your trombone-playing friend wearing a bald cap.
