Brandon: Wow, I wonder when the last time I washed my pep band shirt was.... Me: What? Brandon: Look. *shows me the inside of his sleeve* Me: Eww! Is it YELLOW?! Brandon: Yeah. Me: When WAS the last time you washed it? Brandon: Sometime... last... year? Me: Ewww....
*on the way back from Husky Band Day* Brad: Hey, let's take a right and go to MTHS! Joey: Yeah! Uh, we're all from MTHS, not LHS... don't listen to the shirts, we... stole them.
*at Husky Band Day* Our band: *walks past a band in full uniform in our pep band shirts/slacks* Random girl from other band: Man, I wish we could wear something comfortable like that. Me: *to my friend* See? We may not look all professional, but at least we won't die of heat today.

*at the first marching band practice* Michaela (about the flute flip folders that say "flutist's friend"): I should really cross out "friend" and put "enemy".
*at husky band day yesterday* Some trombone player from (I think it was) South Kitsap: HEY! I'M DIGIN' THE KILTS! My boyfriend (to me): Of course he is, because kilts are cool.

ASB officer: Let's hear it for the LHS cheerleaders and the band! Brandon: No! Just cheer for the band! We're cooler than the cheerleaders!
Cheerleaders: *go up to the fence for a cheer* Band: Do the burrito cheer! Burrito! BURRITO! Cheerleaders: All RIGHT! Jeez! (Burrito has become the band cheer over the past year or two. XDD)
Lisa: *to me and Amie* I hope you two don't go to the same college. You'd drive your teachers crazy.
Nick: Hey Amie. Me: *stares* Nick: ...You're not Amie, are you? Me: Nope. Nick: Oops. Me: It's okay. Everyone has been mixing us up recently. Even though we look NOTHING alike. Nick: Well... you're kinda the same height, and.... Me: And? Nick: That's about it, actually.

Mr. C: Okay, Kerry... Nick: Her name's Joe. That's what we call her. Mr. C: Oh, should we just call you Methuseleh then?
Katrina: See, if you made a berry pie in the shape of a saxophone, then it would be a berry sax!

Gosh, my 4th hour class was just so... ugh! These 4 non-bandie guys saw me looking at music and filling out a jazz chord solo chart thing, and they asked tons of questions... Guy: Yeah, so what's that note? Me: An 'E.' Guy: What's that one? Me: An 'F.' What's that one: A 'G.' Guy: What's that one? Other guy: Dude, I know! It's an H! Guy: Really? Me:.... No. Guy: Dude, you band people obviously do not know your alphabet. Guy: Why is that note just a circle? Me: That's a whole note. Guy: What does that mean? Me: Well, in this song, it means you hold it out for 4 beats. Guy: Why? Me: Because it's in 4/4 time. Guy: What does that mean? Me: The quarter notes gets the beat, and there are 4 in a measure. Guy: 4 what? Me: 4 beats. Guy: Oh... what's a beat? Guy: So, I heard all you band people are druggies... Me: Not true. Other guy: Well, you obviously don't remember last weekend. Guy: So, do you band people go to football games? Guy: What do you play? Me: Flute. And alto sax. Guy: *Weird look.* Dude, did you just say you played se- Me: NO! Try alto SAXOPHONE!

Katrina: When I said I wanted a more interesting bari part, I didn't mean a piece that's essentially a three-page long bari solo.
BD: Don't forget the roll-off! Not to point out anyone. *glares at Katrina*

BD: Okay, did you all TOTALLY miss the double lines? Vocab time! *draws a caesura on the board* Anyone know what this is? Lauren: A caesura. BD: Exactly. But that's Italian. In lazy American terms, it's a grand pause. Joey: Grandpas!
BD: *writes up forte, mezzo forte, and mezzo piano on the board* Anyone know what the term for these is? Me: *raises hand* BD: Not Megan? (I'm the only one in steel drums that knows anything about music. XD)

BD: *looks at trumpets* "you guys just played that like a bunch of drunks" *laughter from the band and indignant looks from a select few trumpet players* Due, was that from today? Or at least from 4th hour band? 'Cause I want to hold it against them now... Flutist #1: *Starts chasing me.* Flutist #2: "RUN, [KES], RUN!" Me: *Runs* Flutist #1: *Jumps on top of me* Me: *Falls down.* Look, it's the floor... Flutist #2: *Protects me.* She is my Mini-me! You can't have her! Me: *Gets tackled by Flutist 1... again.* Saxophone player: Here's a tip... run faster.

After announcing the theft of a fairly large peice of equipment: BD (on a ladder): Oh! Me: Are you OK? BD: Yeah.... But I just found out where I put the (pleadthefifth) that I thought was stolen. Me: ... BD: It was up here, and I couldn't see if from down here. Me: ... BD: Could you please not tell anyone about this?
Lindsay: I'm not dumb, if that's what your saying. I even have a job! Andrew: Where? Lindsay: American Eagle. Andrew: Oh, because that proves your amazing genius.
BD: We're so off, we're using the metronome now. ::gets out the Dr. Beat we didn't know he had:: Metronome: OnE+tWo+ThReE+fOuR+ (etc) Conor: Is that voice male or female? Annaliese: I think it's hermaphrodite.
Band Basics Quiz: What does a sharp mean? A) The note's value is four beats B) The note is a half-step higher than it would be without the sharp C) It is out of tune Me: B (C if piccolo)
BD: This quiz should take you all period. <<Ten Minutes Later>> Jake and I: We're done. BD: Did you write everything you know about Beethoven on the back? Me: Yeah, all I know is the the company Dover publishes the scores to his symphonies. BD: Then, write a Beethoven-like melody on the back of the page. Draw your own manuscript. Jake (with not only a melody, but accompaniment and countermelody): Can I have another peice of paper?

Brad: In the confusion of lovemaking, I put someone else's clothes on by accident. Sub: *walks in* What? Brad: ...Nothing.
Me, Nick, Amir, and Taylor: HEY BURRITO! Rest of band: *stares* Me: Fine, DON'T cheer with us! Nick: You all suck! Me: That's okay. We're cooler than them 'cause we're the low winds.
Amir: *puts a baseball cap backward on my head* Oh, you're gangsta now. Me: I... can't see... it's too big....
*while learning cheers from the cheerleaders* BD: I'm sure some of you are probably way outside your comfort zone doing these cheers right now. You know what? That's too bad! Do it anyway!
*while playing at an overpass* BD: Okay, Tequila next you guys! Remember, DON'T yell Tequila. Tequila = no. It's "go Royals." Brad: Why don't we yell something to do with the buses? BD: "Community transit" doesn't really fit.... Brad: I know! Sound transit! Band: Yeah! BD: All right then, everyone yell "sound transit" at the end. *play through Tequila* Band: *at the end* Sound transit! *burst out laughing* Me: That was the corniest thing we've EVER done.
