Today in class, he was using drum sticks to demonstrate a rhythm to the percussion, and half of a stick broke, and flew back into the trumpet section lol

"Aux grands maux les grands remèdes."
That reminds me of this one time when our Instructor for Marching Band was showing a left-lean with a twist: you twisted your right leg (so that your knee pointed inward). So the whole move was: touch, lean, lock, hit, hold, hit. On the second "hit" he ripped his shorts right down the middle-THE WHOLE MIDDLE. We canceled band practice the rest of the day, it was that funny.
"Desperate times call for desperate measures."

Sophomore year in concert band--
Our band director was conducting with his baton for our concert in the next couple days. I was in the front row and we were really into the current piece. All of a sudden, something hits me right in the face. I kept playing and when we finished, everyone started laughing.
Turns out that the baton flew out of his hand and hit me.
Yeah.

Kavalnir reminded me of a convo me and my flute friend were having. It was the time of year when we were doing student staff workshops for student staff auditions, and we were joking around about this one kid nearly breaking the baton while goofing off(He was a potential drum major and bent the baton hitting it agaisnt the stand cause nobody was paying attention. Potential drum majros were givent he chance to conduct warmups) Well, I brought up that it would be funny if a drum major was given a baton and accidentally flung it at someone, and we started demonstrated various reactions according to section. it was funny.
My director had a habi of breaking things. Mostly drum sticks. Every abnd camp, we had angry drummers because he liked to hit a portable block(He called it a gock bloc, but I'm not sure the real name) to keep tempo, using a drum stick, so only one drum stick would get broken. And ocne, he was hitting it while walking past percussion. It broke and landed on the snare drum.

Things flying are EXTREMELY common in our band room. smile There have been pencils, batons, other writing utensils, unopened reeds, valve oil... Lots of things. And of course, drum sticks. And yeah, it's a gock. Most annoying thing ever when it's right next to you.

My middle school band teacher was demistrating how the way we like to do things isn't always the right way, so he tried throwing a soft ball with his neck. didn't work.
Then he actually threw the soft ball, hard, at the wall over the clarinet section, scaring us all half to death. It bounced off, hit the sax section and bounced into the flutes.
He did that a few years later, like five times in a row. after like the second time, the sax's actually cought the ball the other three times.

Ok, so, on Monday, This Monday, My band directer was trying to help us out with one of our Contest pieces so it wouldn't suck. We started from the beginning, which was a very big Clarinet and Base Clarinet part.... And it sucked... So my directer grabed his tie, shoved it in his mouth and stood there for a minute, looked at the Clarinets, and puked up his tie (acting like it or something like that) and The trumpts fell out of there chairs laughing along with half of percussion and woodwinds. The rest just sat there trying to breath from laughing so much. I'm still laughing about it =) xd

Okay so one of the percussionists couldn't get down flams, and and our band director had her microphone on, and she shoved the kid out of the way, and started yelling FLAM FLAM FLAM FLAM.

Our band director had an unfortunate habit of losing and throwing his baton around the band room, completely on accident. One day, the flutes and clarinets decided that we'd had enough of it. We picked up his 'lost' baton - from right where he'd left it and couldn't find it, of course - and hid it inside one of the flutes. When he finally gave up looking for it and started us, he didn't notice. The rest of the band did, and 1/2 of them started laughing in between playing. He finally got slightly mad at them and asked what was so funny, only to have one of the trumpets point helplessly at the flutes. Glaring at the flutes, the baton was eventually pulled from its 'hiding place' and given back. As soon as he realized what we'd done, he started laughing, too.
At least he hasn't managed to break it, yet. And that's practically a miracle in and of itself. Then again, it's hard to break it when you can't find it...

Our trumpet section often feels the need to play at a volume so low that no one could ever hear them, so one day when our band director was talking to them about a loud section of a march we were doing, she said, "C'mon, trumpets, don't be afraid to BLOW!" gotta love her. rofl heart
