Once in band, the new assistant director was directing us, and all of the sudden, he started doing the zombie dance in Michael Jackson's "Thriller" ! He was moving his arms around like they did and it was so funny!

My band director told us that one year he was holding his band on a note and the phone rang and he didnt let them off and after he got off thee phone one guy died because he kept the note too long and ran out of breath. He was so bad at Lying!

You know how you have to set up the block when you're about to start marching? I don't know how you guys do it, but we have one of our drum majors take large steps to align the lines, then we line up with their heel.
Mr. H, our band director, told our drum major Brian,"You know how you really mark them off right? you take the biggest steps you can and raise your right arm, almost as though you're trying to kick it."
He ended up looking like one of those Nazi soldiers by the way he was marking us off. We all instantly burst into laughter just for the fact that he didn't see it coming, nor did he understand the joke until he marked us all off. As Mr. H said,"Score one for Mr. H, zero for Brian!"

I think I have a couple.
1) Last year's show theme was "Shining Through Darkness". In our preview concert, my band director was explaining to the audience what our theme was. He got to third movement, which was a battle scene between light and darkness.
Instead, he said: "It's a battle between black and white..."
I think that was because our gauntlets were black and white.
2) This one time at band camp. At band camp last year, we all split off into sub sections on the field to work on our show. Well, the drum captain had us take our drums off and put them on the sideline. He had us get into a block and taught us Solja Boy. (Or, however you spell it.)
Yeah. We have a productive drumline alright. ;D

My director was teaching the people trying out for drum major how to cue.
He was telling us how for a decrescendo we had to put our hand flat, like it was against a window.
"This" -Does it correctly- "makes people get quiet."
"This" -does not flatten it, making it look like a nazi salute-"offends people"
