During the preview show...
Colorguard: I'm sorry if I hit you (I am about 3 steps infront of her) me: EEP! Colorguard: Well I would only hit your legs. tuba: but if you hit her legs she'll fall backwards and you'd get that in your face (that being my tuba) me: *fakes fall backwards* trumpet; That'd cause a domino affect me: that'd be funny trumpet: no not really me: well funny in a not funny way. trumpet: that would have been perfect last year during the follow the leader (the whole band I think was following one person) me: One person would fall and we'd all crash tuba: [trumpet] that's probably why [BD] doesn't put us in the lead. we'd probably do it. (It was something to this effect)
me: *running to desert table after preview show* FOOD! mello: Yup and All these jelly doughnuts are left me: Eh I don't like jelly mello: You don't like jelly? I can't be near you. *he leaves*
(once again it's something to this effect.)
Also instead of saying HUT when called to the attention we say ARRRRRRRRGH (is there an H? That was a debate at band once)

At pep band game watching halftime game on the home side of the field. Clairnet: All I can see in orange. Me: I know, it's like we're behind enemy lines. (Waiting for the dance team to start dancing) Me: What the heck, why do some of them keep jumping up then sitting again. Tylor: False start. Me: Ohh...but they keep doing it. Someone behind me: Hey look at that football player carrying a saxophone! Anouncer: The dance team will not be performing this halftime. (football player goes back field and stands in line with the band) Me: OMG he's in the band!!! Whole pep band: *cheers for the football player in the band* As the band sets up the props on the field. Me: What's with the yellow half circle thing their putting on the podium? Tylor: It's has all the answers on it, you know like what to do next. pep band: *laughs* Milo: OMG I think their show it the Nightmare Before Christmas. Pep band: *completly jelous* Announcer: Please welcome to the field the utica marching band. Pep-bands: *cheers* Sandy: All in favor of doing a standing ovation at the end. Pep band: *all raise their hands* End of their performance Sandy: Time to stand. pep-band: *stands and cheers-loudly* rest of the audience: *stares at us* Me: Why aren't they standing!? Milo: They wouldn't reconize a cool show if it bit them on the [rear-end]

A long conversation from the Shaler football game last night as we marched out of the stadium. I'm so glad I'm finally getting to know and love the trombone section. ;D
Trombone 1: (to me) What am I gonna talk to you about in Symphonic Band if you don't like baseball or hockey? (We'll be the only two 1st trombones.) Me: I'm not sure. Do you like any other sports? I like college softball, pro and college football, and beach volleyball... we'll find something we can talk about. T1: OMG! Beach volleyball! Now there's a sport. That takes a lot of effort. Trombone 2: No, guys, curling is a sport. That is intense. Trombone 3: I hate those people who are all like, "Yeah, I play chess. I'm an athlete. Me: Hell, this (in reference to marching band) is a sport. Drum corps should definitely be a sport. T2 (still blabbing about curling): I saw this curling lady from a meet with Powerade everywhere... told you it's intense. T1: Oh, come on. Me: "Hey honey, rub my feet, I've had a long HARD DAY OF CURLING!" T3: ... you guys are so weird (she's a freshman). ;D
At practice from Thursday. This is kinda mature, but funny. Trombone 1: [Trombone 2], make sure to keep this form as we go to the next set! Me: How can you keep this parallelogram shape if we move into a straight line...? Trombone 2: Will you guys shut up? Quit gettin' all up my a** about it. Me: We [myself and other girl trombone player] know you like it up there anyway!

BD: *points to percussion storage room, talking about changing into uniforms* And NOBODY may change in there. (He made it REALLY clear) Drummer: Not even us? *everyone cracks up* BD: *Starts walking out of room* That's it. I'm done. I'm through, I'm retiring.
Or he said something like that.

during pep band... snare: hey, can you play Victors on trumpet? they (the other trumpets) are gone. me: okay... hey Kes, can you get me [dm]'s piece of paper that has the notes for Victors on it? Kes: okay. *hands me the paper* me: now I have to be a real Airport trumpet player, and hold it like this. *holds trumpet with one hand and music with the other while resting elbows on knees* see, I'd fit right in! Kes: no, you're holding it wrong. *takes trumpet* THIS, is more like our trumpets. *screws up posture even more* me: nice.

Old BD: "I never thought I'd say this but WOODWINDS, YOU'RE DROWNING OUT THE TRUMPETS???"
New BD: (our dumline is mostly 6th & 7th grade girls...on bass drum) "Drumline, I'm so proud of you. You're not like 'aaahh, I'm female', you're all like 'AHHHH! WOMAN!'"
Random Honor Band Clinician: "Ok. Saxophone's you gotta play this IN TUNE and soft and pretty. Like we're rocking a baby...*holds baton like baby*. Otherwise, during the concert, I'm going to drop the baby. I DROPPED THE BABY! CALL DEFACS!" (funnier when you've had 7.5 hours of rehersal on 3 hours of sleep)
Random Honor Band Clinician: "You see, band is an inverted triangle. Except most bands I know have too many woodwinds and not enough low brass..." Drummer Friend: "The inverted triangle is like having too many little kids screaming and not enough old men yelling at them..."

I LOVE CLASS PIANO!
so, we have lab pianos that have headests so we can talk and listen to ourselves in them. Well, our teacher took hers off so today we just had a lot of random things goin on ...
"I'm not wearing any panties" "I'm not wearing any socks"
hearing people do their random mannerisms like "Wha? What the f***" and someone was messing with the synthesizer and playing Halleluiah Chorus. I almost died.
