This one is kinda odd... "Dude, I'll give you a ride home if you give me your pants." I'm still not quite sure what he meant by that.

We were attempting to get into our circles (we form the Olympic rings on the field) in a hurry:
Tyler: This circle is retarded. Me: It's not even a circle, it's more like a crescent as of right now.... Tyler: Yeah, it's missing a lot of people too. Me: So it's a crescent with leprosy! Tyler: *stares* Tyler: Yeah, I guess that works.
During our baseball part, we are supposed to roleplay while the batter "strikes out:"
Mark: *Announces* Oh, strike 3! Dave: Oh, DARN! Me: Well tickle my liver and call me BOB! Dave: WHAT? Me: I dunno, I just made that up. Rachel: *shakes her head* Mark: STRIKE 3! Me: Well grab my spleen and call me TOM! Dave:......

[In jazz band, where no flutes are allowed because there's no music... The BD is talking to the trombones... I think. I wasn't really paying attention until I heard an argument.] Trombone: That's not our note there! BD: Yes it is! Oh, wait... this is flute part... a flute part?! Me: Flute part?! ;D [Playing "Sing, Sing, Sing."] BD: 2nds... play louder! Me: Can't concentrate... nedd... flute part... [Later] Me: GIVE ME FLUTE PART! [Later] Me: Hey, Mr. S... so, there's a flute part... BD: Yeah, but we're no going to use it. Me: Dude, that is so totally uncool! [Sax breaks...] Me: I KILLED IT! :bigcry: Me: *Give sax to BD.* BD: What. Did. You. Do? Me: I killed it! :bigcry: [People gather.] BD: I wish I knew how to fix it, but... you're gonna have to send it into the shop. Me: :bigcry: [Outside] Me: I KILLED IT! People: Wha? Me: *Holds up piece.* It... fell off... I KILLED DAVID! :bigcry: Flutist: Kes... sit down... breathe in... breathe out... [Dad pulls up to pick me up.] Flutist: Wait! Tell him when you're still hear! Me: Why? Other flutist: We wanna see him yell! Me: Ya know, I wanted to go to Marshall's... but this isn't exactly what I had in mind.

BD: Trumpets! The saxes are TOTALLY kicking your butts right there! And that makes me sad because you're SUPPOSED to be superior! Saxes: *cheer* Taylor: We should have a party!
BD: Yeah, trombones, you guys are totally running over that little baby rest right there. You're CRUSHING it. Taylor: You're making it cry.
*at the jazz band parent meeting* BD: I decided to let the kids bring in ideas and vote for a design for the jazz band. Usually I don't give them any say, I just do it. This is the first time I did that, and it was totally out of my comfort zone, and this is what happened. *holds up a picture of a Tuscan Raider holding a trombone* Nicole and I: *look at each other and burst into giggles*
Sub: *cuts us off and starts talking to another section* Me: *leans over and whispers* Nick, you came in early. Nick: Yeah, I know. Me: COUNT! Nick: I do! Well, not in jazz band, but.... Me: You better start counting in jazz band! If we go to symposium and you don't count, I'm going to kill you. You know that, right? Nick: You're so violent. Me: It's because I care.
Ethan: I'm a pirahna!

"If we can make this 85 year old guy cry..." -Brass instructor trying to motivate us to play pretty for the Lenard Burnstine's music producer who was visiting us...and he ment with passion.
"When I was in high school 70 years ago...no nuts" -everyone laughs- "We couldn't say that when I was in school" - The 85 year old guy

Lol... some random quotes from my uni's marching band this year (the quotes in my thingy at the bottom were from my h.s. band last year):
"Don't share jugs!" - the BD
"Keep your hearts on fire, but your minds on ice!" -the BD
"Hey! Lookie! Look at me! Look at the big fat man in the big blue tower!" - the BD
"Bones! Make a line!" - my section leader "Wow, we're trombonists, with the straightest instrument and we can't even make a line." - Me "No, don't worry, it wasn't you (guys), it was the trumpets." - a piccolo person
(in warm ups, we're supposed to call back, like, the DM would go "1!", and band "2!", DM "3!", band "4!" and so on, but sometimes we make up our own words .. like in once stretch, we sing the Oompa-Loompa song) -DM: "We"... Band: "We!" -DM: "Must".... Band: "Must!" -DM: "Protect"... Band: "Protect!" -DM: "This:... Band: "This!" -DM: "House!"... Band: "House!!!" -BD over intercom in stadium as a joke in a hypnotizing voice: "We..must..play..in..tune!"

First off,I must say how I very much enjoy reading other crazy happenings of band people. I love knowing there are other crazy people all over the place,yeah. So,here are a couple of quotes.
The other day during fourth period,which is band.
The band: *is playing a piece of our marching show* BD: *cuts the band off*" Hey" *looks over at our two tubas " You two are like the king and queen of the band." Tuba player 1 (who is a girl): I'm the Queen Tuba player two (who is also a girl) *glares at the BD* BD: *Looks over at our Baritone player* "And you can be the prince" Baritone player " I'm a freakin' girl!"
Oh,it was funny,but I suppose you would have needed to be there.
This one was at a marching competition in Yakima, Washington
Me and my friend Camille were walking and this one trombone player named Matt came up to Camille
Matt: *looks at Camille* Let's laugh benevolently together *The two of them begin to laugh benevolently together* Matt made me think of a British man Me: *starts to laugh,cracking up*

Our band director uses the word "onus" all the time. It's gotten to be an inside joke for some of us.
