This happened during the Conducting Workshop.
*DM/DI candidates sing Row Row Row Your Boat and conduct in 4/4* *Old DMs conduct enthusiastically, then they both climb on the table and dance* *DM/DI candidates crack up* Old DMs: Keep on conducting. Group 1, I can't hear you!! *dances more and tries to out sing us* it turned into a 'all the groups try to out do eachother' fest. Full of bad singing. but tasteful dancing on tables.

Band director: "Listen, guys, just play Shostakovich like you did that day before Spring Break when I threatened to take it back up." First trumpet: "What, like we're really angry?" Band director: "No. Well, yes. Just like that." (And it worked, too. )

We played the final movement from his Symphony No. 5 today at contest. We love that song 'Nother quote: Band director: "No, no, no. Guys, we need to create the feel of nuclear fusion. The way you're playing right now sounds more like random atomic explosions."

At the parent/student cruise question meeting:
Drummer: *raises hand* Now, I know we are going to Coco Cay, and there is a place there, something like Blackbeard Beach or something? Yeah. BLACKBEARD. Should I be concerned about pirates?

Bass Player: You're wearing a band sweatshirt! You band geek! Me: Hypocrite! Bass Player: I'm not a band geek! I'm in orchestra! I'm just...in band.
As Wind Ensemble comes on stage during CBC: Alto: Hey, that short guy (our BD) looks familiar!
ETA: From Saturday (jazz comp)
Hannah: Don't go anywhere alone! YOU'LL BE RAPED! (very loudly, in Taco Bell, to our male bass player)
Ellora: Katrina! He's your soulmate. (As Pasco's very loud bari player is soloing)
Hannah: I love you! Will you marry me?! (to Mead's tenor sax/clarinet player) Haley: Oh, we are such band geeks. Me: Yeah, getting all hot and bothered by good music...
Me: WHY DO ALL BARI PLAYERS LOOK LIKE NERDS? Hannah: Yes, yes, even you.
Hannah: Oh, yeah, he's a nerd in training. (as a little middle school bari player goes up to get his "outstanding soloist" award)
At dinner: Wendy: What rhymes with 'my thoughts impede'? Everyone: WE BEAT MEAD! Mandy: What rhymes with 'we plant seed'? Everyone: WE BEAT MEAD! Hannah: What rhymes with 'I just peed'? Everyone: WE BEAT MEAD! Wendy: A little bird flew down and landed on my shoulder and do you know what it told me? Everyone: WE BEAT MEAD!
Mead people: *mumblemumble*Ellensburg*mumblemumble*
Aleks: Hey, guess what? WE BEAT MEAD! Oh -- you are Mead. WE BEAT YOU GUYS.
*cough* It's possible we are bad, bad winners.

^ Medieval Times? (I don't even know if that's spelled correctly, it looks wierd, but I don't know how else to spell it) like, the place in Virginia or something like that? (I know there's more than one place, too) we went there when we went to New York for my first time because my brother went there on a band trip and said it was fun, and it was! haha... I got a carnation thrown to me from our knight! (the red one) ;D it was fun. and my brother smuggled plasticware in from Wendy's.
