Note: these quotes aren't 100% accurate, but you'll get the idea. Both are by our director. "We'll be playing some songs that I don't like, we'll be playing some songs that you don't like, and we'll be playing some songs that the audience won't like. But you know what? No one is going to know that, because you are going to sell it like you wrote it and are collecting royalties on it." "My oldest son's old teacher's daughter is serving on an ice breaker in... ... ice... places... ..."

This was a while ago...but here it goes: This was while we were marching a couple of day into band camp a couple of weeks ago. lol. BD: But your right foot out. Put your right foot in. Put your left foot out.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................and shake it all about.............................................Sorry...I couldn't help myself.
I was just funny at the time because he started saying it, and then everyone was laughing, and then he said shake it all about.

At summer band, with a room full of 7th/8th graders and a couple high school kids with me being the oldest. BD: Number 164 the chromatic scale. 7th/8th graders: 0_0 BD: I would play it for you and I would do it really fast but you would expect that from me so I'm going to make a student play it for you really fast. Me: *thinking* I bet it's me. BD: Courtney.... Me: I knew it! Rest of the band: *sighs of relief that it's not them*

DM (Joey): When I say play, you play. When I say stop, you stop. When I say dance, YOU DANCE!
BD (during drilldowns): Joeyface! Band: ... AS YOU WERE, SIR! Joey: What's a Joeyface? BD: It's easier to say than Beckyface (our other DM).
Alto: I'm cold! Me: Be a MAN, Katie! Band: ... *stares* Me: Never mind.
While teaching the newbies the skip step: BD: You don't want to look like rodeo horses. Me: Just because we march in the rodeo parade doesn't mean we should look like rodeo horses. Bass clarinet: Dude! That'd be cool! We should all do that! Band: ...no.

History: There is a dead couchroach (couldn't spell it correctly becuse of the sensor) On the wall behind our band director. *Clarinet stands next to the podium.* Sax: OMG There's that nasty roach again. *Me and trumpet bust out laughing. Points to clainet next to the podium.*
History teacher: Stupid little 7th graders. Why do they start pictures with those snot-nosed brats. Kids don't even know how to blow. *slight pause* THEIR NOSE! I mean they just wipe their nose on their arm.
Background: A clarinet is writting his own book and basing it off people in the school, but he asks them what they want to happen in the book. Clarinet 1 (Same one in the roach quote): Do you want to have sex. Clarinet 2: Ugh!. Clarinet 1 No! I mean in my book.
Me: You can tell that the 7th graders's language is getting worse. Clarinet (Roach): How's that. Me: well when we were freshman and you horrassed the 7th graders they would look freaked out and get away from you. Now, they just call you a fat a** mf'er.
Studying for lab equipment test. Trumpet: *Points to the tongs* Me: Thongs. OMG I mean tongs. I tried to say the tongs and they just kind of combined. Trumpet: Sure... One kid actually put thongs on their test. That just as bad as me almost putting The ammount of blood in the alcohol system as the definition of Blood-Alcohol Concentration.

There's a drill in our show where the whole band is in a big triangle. It's seriously a perfect right triangle, too.
Me: (to baritone player who was in my math class last year) Hey, [math teacher] would be proud! This is a 30-60-90 triangle! If I just pulled out a chalkboard and stood in the center, I could teach the audience the Pythagorean Theorem in 32 counts!
Trombone section leader: (To me) 10º! Horns are at 10º! Me: It is! SL: No, it's not! It's at like 40º! Tomorrow I'm gonna bring a protractor... SL: *puts my trombone down* Me: That's PARALLEL! SL: NO, IT'S NOT! Baritone player: Okay, that's one thing you never hear in band... "Your horn is too high!" Me: I guess I'm the overacheiver then, and I even came from the laziest sction too! So nyah! *sticks tongue out* Freshman: *horn is up pretty high* Me: See? See? Why don't you yell at Steve, huh? Me: SEXISM! SEXISM!

BD: Yeah Saxes and Horns you should listen to the Trombone and Clarinet's part more cause the Tubas kind of have a melody part. me : *thinking* It's a sign of the apocolypse tuba: What's a melody?
(It was something to this effect)
mello: I am the all powerful me. me: Fear you? mello: Yes fear me.
Colorguard: I'm wearing pants!
tuba: If you don't have anything nice to say you're surrounded by idiots.
mello2: Meet Jack the monkey me: Attack the monkey?
trumpet: don't you feel like flailing your arms around and hitting somebody. trumpet2: I always feel like flailing my arms and hitting somebody *hits trumpet* tuba: use your drill book
tuba: *drops drill book* Just checking to make sure gravity is working. Cause you never know.
tuba: I just killed [mello3] (trumpet2 was sliding his drillbook across to the curb while the BD was coming) DM: trip BD, fly backwards.
(I have trouble hitting low notes and my section leader thinks it's a mental thing cause I don't have a lot of confidence) tuba: Now don't take this personally but I've given up. me: Great way to make me feel confident...
(me and tuba during sectionals) *bassclarinet and Tenorsax comes in* bassclarinet: We're joining your sectional cause we can't find [bassclarinet2 and bassclarinet3] (so they join us. we "pratice" when there are rests) bassclarinet2: *comes in high off orange cleaning supply* (can't remember but we actually try to pratice and mess up terribly) 5 minutes before sectionals end Bassclarinet3 comes in. helper person (5 min later): time to go back bassclarinet3: but I just got here!
(Later bassclarinets 2 and 3 were out of it) tenorsax: I think us 4 (me, tuba bassclarinet1, and him) are the only normal ones here. me: "normal" is not the word I'd use.
tuba: Ok we're praticing measures 73-122 (which is a drum feature so we don't play) tenorsax: *begins playing after a bit to actually pratice* tuba: Wow you're bad at this part.
bassclainet2: I named your tubas Mr. and Mrs. Gold.

[We have to run out on the field and scream.] BD: STOP! You have to yell! You all sound like cows. [Running out on the field again.] Half the flute section: MOOOOOOOOOO!
[Running out again.] Flutist: WE SUCK AT SCREAMING! Me: I KNOW!
[It was raining, and then it thundered once.] Band: *Freaks out.* Me: Woo-hoo! We're gonna get struck by lightning!
BD: Go under the bleachers! *Band hides under bleachers.* Me: ... So does anyone realize we're standing under giant metal bleachers?

Okay...this wasn't in band, and the main girl isn't even in band...but it was halarious. This was in Spanish 1 during 7th hour.
Spanish Teacher: Mercedes, where would you put the accent in this name? (It was a worksheet, and we were grading it. It was spelled out "Benjamin", and we had to put the accents where they should be. And the accent was supposed to be on the "i".) Mercedes (her Spanish name): On the "i". Spanish Teacher: And how would you pronounce that name? Mercedes: Ummmmmm..........Ben......jammin'! Class: *Laughter*
She said something like "Been jamming". We thought it was funny. And yesterday the teacher asked another kid "? Como Estas?" And he was like "SI!!!!!"
