We kinda had one, but we never actually said it. Its kinda long.
My clarient has a first name, its O-S-C-A-R
My clarinet has a second name, its M-E-Y-E-R
I like to practice everyday, and if you ask me why I'll say:
Oscar Meyer has a way with S-Q-U-E-A-K-S

flutes: *high pitched voice* we are sooo pretty!!! (made up the year there was only one man-flute, because he was there)
clarinets (year after above): *mimic flute voice* we are sooo *deep voice* manly!!
euphoniums: ...some long, random handshake last year's crazy section leader made up, repeated as many times as needed so everyone in the section does it with everyone else
guard: colorguard whoop whoop!
guard (when with coach): benicia colorguard HUH! *start random singing of song that fits with theme of song. example: years with marches "in storm and sunshine" and "thundercloud" = pocketful of sunshine. year with "purple carnival" = that one circus song. year with "unter der admiral's flagge" (german)= the only other german song we knew, 99 red balloons (from the 80s or something. pep band song)
when guard sections were separate, IDs: I-D u-nit! you know! flags: f-l-a-g gooo team! (the lamest one. reason we made a new one above) rifles: rifles!!!! with rifles held around arms like airplanes. rifles when in rivalry with IDs: huh huh huh huh operation KID (aka kill ID) IDs when in rivalry with rifles: operation KC (aka kill cara aka rifle captain)

We sorta have one we say after we win a competition or whenever we do well. The whole band/guard does it:
(*one person says this*)Sum-mit, (*then everyone chimes in here*) wha-wha-what?
(*one person again*)Sky-hawks, (*and then everyone again*) you-you know!
So in all it's "Sum-mit, wha-wha-what? Sky-hawks, YOU-YOU-KNOW!"

Assistant Band Director: I gotta feelin...
Entire Band: WHOO-HOO! *extremely, horribly off-key*
A newer one...
Assistant Band Director: I like to move it, move it, I like to move it, move it, I like to move it, move it, you like to...
Entire Band: MOVE IT!
And I'm in Guard, and what we do before every competition and football game...
We stand in a circle holding hands (with our right arms crossed over our left). Our Guard Director gives as a big pep speech, and then he says "Oak Ridge..." and we all say "I love you, I trust you, and I'm committed to you." Then the director squeezes the hand of the person next to him, and the squeeze goes through the circle twice, then we throw up our hands and yell "GOOOOOOO!"

As a band we have "Rangers on three! 1-2-3-
"RANGERS!"
The lowbrass has "Low brass kicks grass"
The high brass, "Double rainbow!" "What does it mean?!"
The colorguard, "Color! Guard!
Drumline has three, one when we are being very professional just a quick, "Drumline!" When we goofing off it's, "the Metronome is not a suggested beat." and when we are in serious business playing mode we have a cadence to get everyone pumped up. Then a lowbrass get everyone to focus that energy.

The low brass never play loud enough so our section leader go "Brass balls!" and we all repeat it. And it's only like three or four low brass people so we got this down.
And then the brass section leader will also go "Brass balls hang low!" to try to get us to play loud. It works

When we go out on the field, the brass gets together in a big football player gathering thingy. And the loudest, deepest voice yells:
"What time is it?"
and they all reply:
"BAND TIME!!"
Repeat x3
"AUUUH."
"AUUUUUH!!!"

My high school's flute section has a few we've used...
"Flutes don't suck!"
"Flutes sizzle!"
"The best you've NEVER heard!"
"Boo, you horn!"
"Size doesn't matter!" (That's totally going on the '11-'12 section shirts, even if I'm not there as SL. xD After all, the section's going to be like 5 people next year, which is sad compared to '07-'08 when we had 20...)

We don't have one. Our studio's relatively quiet. We sneak the trumpet's food when they're heckling. 3nodding
