Me: Okay, Nick, tomorrow you have to COUNT. You know how, right? Nick: Yeah. One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, one and two and three and four and one ee and a two ee and a three ee and a four ee and a. Me: *applauds*
Me: (as we're going on stage) Hey, hey Nick- Nick: -count. I know, I know.
Me: *smacks Taylor in the head* Quit being stupid. Taylor: Ow! Ow! Now I have a migrane! Me: I hardly think that a tap on the head would give you a migrane. Taylor: Well, maybe you have... migrane-inducing hands! Me: Right....
Taylor: I have tiny hands. Nicole: Let me see. *puts her hand up to Taylor's* Wow, you do! Me: I bet mine are smaller. *puts my hand up to Taylor's* Taylor: Wow, they are. I have bigger hands than someone! Me: We should throw you a party.
Taylor: (as he's leaving) See you Tuesday. Me: Why not Monday? Taylor: There's no jazz band Monday. Me: ...We still have REGULAR band on Monday. Taylor: Oh. Oh yeah!
(while putting up posters) Ethan: What the hell? This tape won't stick... oh. Oops. Nick: Ethan broke the tape! Ethan: I didn't break it! I just... rolled it the wrong way. (later) Ethan: (to himself) All right, the sticky side goes THIS way....

Taylor: *while sitting in the band room between jazz band and 1st period* ...WHY am I always in here now? I don't even HAVE this class next! Me: It's like a cult. You're being sucked in. There's no escape.
(during our symposium clinic) Clinician: Who's first alto? BD: That would be Lauren. Clinician: Ah, Lauren. She's a hot one, huh?
BD: *cuts us off* Guys! You're completely running over those little baby eighth rests! You're squishing them! Don't step on the babies! Me: Yeah, Nick, don't step on the babies! Nick: But I like to squish babies.... *later* Taylor: *singing and dancing* Nick is a baby-squisher, Nick kills babies....
Nicole: *takes a picture with her digital cam of Taylor, Lauren and I and shows it to us* Taylor: Whoa, look! There's a holy light coming from me! It's coming from my soul! Lauren: Or the reflector on your backpack. Taylor: You're just jealous because YOU don't have a holy light.

Me: *comes back with beef jerky for the long bus trip and takes a bite* Stef: Eww, beef jerky is so nasty! Me: No way it's not! How could you not love dried cow with artificial beef flavoring?
Me: *looks at vast amounts of fundraiser papers* Wow, PJ's fruit, Joe Corbi's, Sarris Candy... it's like.... like a FUNDRAISER UTOPIA!
During our field show we have a narrator, Justin. During Field of Dreams, he starts off by saying, "Wow, is this Heaven? No, it's Iowa... etc." BD: *in singsong voice* Wow, is this Heaven? No, it's just Baldwin's south parking lot."

BD: There's no roll on that timpani part! Drummer: Oh, sorry. I'm playing the bass drum part since there's no bass drum around. BD: Actually, there's no roll on the bass drum part either. I don't know where you're getting that from then. BD: *pauses* Oh yeah, you see that big black thing? The leather cover that says Ludwig? There's a bass drum under there. Drummer: Ah, I noticed.....

I have some good ones from tonight, our last band practice of the season. Okay, before the opening piece, the drumline does a chant that goes: "Dut-dut-dut-dut, HOOH!" Tonight, they changed the words a bit. 1st time: "Chris-S.-is-fat! HOOH!" 2nd time: "Greg-is-a-turd! HOOH!" 3rd time: "Greg's-mom-is-hot! HOOH!" Sax player #1: I wonder if Stacy's Mom has got it goin' on. They need to make a Stacy's Dad song and have a woman sing it. Trombone player: *drops trombone* Sax player #1: Nice job, idiot! Sax player #2: We should hammer the mouthpieces into the ground. Me: Yeah, then you can use them as golf tees! Sax player #2: With these helmets on [without plumes], we look like (male genetalia)! Me: ......only you would think that. Me: *drinks water* Flute player #1: Hey Kelly, give me a sip of water! Flute player #2: Can I have some? Tenor sax player: I need water. Clarinet player: Kel, give me some water! Mello player: Water! Me: Can't you get your own f**king water!!!!?!!!! Flute player #1: There's nothing to drink in my house but TAP water. Me: ....this is tap water.... Flute player #2: This tastes like Gatorade! Clarinet player: I lost my waterbottle! Me: Excuses, excuses.....

[An earlier practice] Drum Major: Today I felt like your guys runthrough was like swiss cheese. It had lots of holes in it. You guys need to be more like.... Cheddar.
[Yesterday the seniors brought in cheese cubes because of that quote]
Clarinetist[in british accent]: Im just crackers about cheese!
DM: Hey Mr Posner! Want some cheese. Mr P: Sure BD: Im not sure you should be eating that... Its probably poisoned. DM: Yeah we drugged it, surprise! BD: They dont want us to come to the performance on sunday. ClarinetSL: Ms Sharp can still. Wait, did she have any cheese? Someone: NO MS SHARP! DONT EAT THE CHEESE!
Mr P[doing his little comment on our practice]: What are you all staring at?? Im just eating cheese cubes!!!
