hehe, I get to make the new thread. thank goodness it's archived, though. wouldn't want all those awesome quotes to be lost. so, continue with the posting of the band quotes. I have none, so it will need to be continued by someone else.

Me (as bd climbs giant scafolding sp? It's like 20 ft up): Have you ever fallen? BD: Please don't ask that question as I'm climbing this thing. Me: Laughs and says ok (BD finishes climbing) BD: No.
Later today: Bd: We finished 15 drill sets today! that's the most we've ever gotten done in one day. Let's do the We 15 Drill Sets Dance! (We all rock out to some random song played on the speakers.)

drum guy: what, are you guys pansies or something? HIT THE DRUM HARDER! it's not going to make me mad if you play louder. it might make [bd] mad, but it won't make me mad. quad player: break the heads! drum guy: THAT would make me mad. while talking about a really scary look our drum instructors (aka drum guys) gave us while we played... snare: did you see that look they gave us? it looked like they were going to murder us. me: I think they would. freshie quad player: I think I'm going to die. me: death by drumline... cool. drum guy C: *gives halt signal... which means we halt after that section* drum guy J: *gives sign to stop* snare: you know you guys don't work very well as a couple. drum guy J: that... would be because we're not a couple. snare: yes you are. drum guy: there's a grasshopper on your drum. *kills grasshopper with his shirt* aw man, now there's grasshopper juice on my shirt. excellent. snare: you know, your car looks like an alien. with the four headlights, you know... ? drum guy: yeah. that's nice. snare: ask her about her kitten. (in reference to previously posted quote... he meant it was really random) me: there's a dead flower in my drum! snare: it's from my drum. it thinks your drum is sexy. drum guy: now lets practice the cadence like we do when we march of the field. which is like, 300 times faster. snare: cadence on speed.

BD: The point of a spin turn is not to see you guys wave your arms around and fall on your butts! AGAIN! [Band does spin turn again.] Bandie: *Flails arms.* BD: *Laughs.*
DM: *While pointing.* YOU! YOU! YOU! ALL OVER THERE! [Eventually everyone ends up over "there."] Me: And the point of that was...? Flutist: He likes to yell. It's fun for him.
