After a very bad job of sightreading Malcolm Arnold's "Four Scottish Dances," my conductor stated,
"Let's go back and pick up some wounded."

Tonight at rehearsal, we tried playing along with the drumline for the first time. There were some cut off issues with our parade march.
Assistant BD: It'll go like this - off and 'down.' Trombone next to me: Yeah, that's what happens when [girl] goes to [guy]'s apartment; the pants come off and down. Me: *snickers* Oh, that was just too good. High five.

(Myself and a group of three Cadets-haters were all watching their show at Baldwin on Sunday. As usual, they did some weird narration. The music was fantastic, especially Blue Shades, but the whole cheesy narration thing ruined it for all of us.)
Cadet: *narrating; says something like:* "When I was in high school, I just didn't fit in anywhere." Me: Yeah, that's why you joined the Cadets.
Snare drummer in group: *looks at battery* Wow! They have 10 snares! Me: That's 10 too many!
Flute player behind me: *after watching the Cavaliers perform* Hey, we're going on Operation Pants (or something like that). We want to try to go down on the field and steal one of the guard members' business suits or pants. Me: Do you realize that a good percentage of the Cavaliers' guard is probably gay? Flute player: ... your point is?
Trumpet player: Oh my God, is that what I think I see? Me: Either we're both hallucinating, or that's a Cavalier riding a John Deere Gator. *pauses and turns to the trumpet player* IT'S A CAVIGATOR! AHHHH! *snaps picture*

Graduation....outside....while it rained on and off...
and the person next to me was wearing white pants... not the smartest idea...
me: Do you realize every performance I get hiccups? tuba: that's because you laugh too much (-.- he's funny though)
guy: By the power invested in me (blah blah blah) me: I think he should have said by the power invested in me I now pronouce you man and wife tuba: Yeah by the power invested in me I now pronouce all of you (graduation class) man and wife
tuba: when my brother graduated they had 16 beach balls spread out so after they confiscated one another would show up on the other side.
*person gets on stage* graduating class: BOOOO!!!! (because the beach ball was taken away)
percussionist: When (Sax) gets on stage start playing Louie Louie as a tribute for her me: Talk to Tuba about it he's in charge (later) me: So are we gonna? tuba: I don't know it's so tempting to let's vote tuba2: yes me: I don't know tuba2: say yes me: sure (later I change my mind) tuba: *talks to trombone and comes back* No we're not gonna it would be disrespectful.
(before graduation starts) tuba: BD I've been here long enough I'm leaving BD: *nods* me: You noticed he nodded right tuba: Yeah I should seriously leave he said I can...that's the first time he said yes... quotes of him are: (something I can't remember) No "Can we joust?" "No" "Do you know what would be fun..." "No"
tuba: *points stand at me* me: I would but I have (Clarinet's) clarinet tuba2: I'll take it me: *grabs stand* tuba: this one would hurt more it is metal (refering to his) me + tuba: *points end of stand at each other* me: *charges at tuba*

On the bus
me: I hate looking like my sister. *flute at heart*: Why? Because she's ugly? me: Oh. That was mean. Now I'm ugly?? *FAH*: No... you're not ugly... you're... frumpy. me: FRUMPY?!? *FAH*: Yeah. Just frumpy. me: FRUMPY??!!? *FAH*: You know, frumpy. It's like homely. me: So... I'm not ugly. I"m homely. That's so much better. *FAH*: That's not what I meant... I mean, you're like that cow standing alone in the field. me: SO NOW I'M A FRUMPY COW STANDING ALONE IN A FIELD??!!! my sl: Stop with the frumpy!! me: No! my sl: I am your leader! I command you to stop being frumpy! me: YOU CAN'T TELL SOMEONE TO STOP BEING UGLY!!! IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY!!!
I'm not sure that's technically a band quote, but it was band people on a band bus... so close enough.

okay, so i play clarinet in concert season, i'm second chair...
In the middle of our last concert, in between First Suite in Eb and Italian in Algiers, our first chair clarinet player quoted borat (he has an amazing accent for it) and everyone on stage heard it and we all laughed but no-one heard it in the crowd so they were confused...
okay, so it wasnt a quote...sue me, lol
and our BD has a tendancy to call people by different names alll the time...like i get 3 different names a day. it's fun

Our BD does this thing sometimes to help us learn to match pitch, where the tuba will be in tune, and he'd play for 8 counts, and 4 counts into it, the next person would play for 8, and it goes on and on, so there are only 2 people playing at a time. He calls it "around the room". He also pretty much does everything in concert F.
So, yesterday, he says, "Ok everybody, F around the room". I didn't catch the pervertedness in it at first until somebody mentioned it lol.

Sorry for the double post.
I may have posted this already but oh well.
A couple months ago a few of my friends and I were in the band room one morning. One of my friends was talking about a Lost episode where some guy named Charlie dies or something. My other friend, every time she'd hear the word Charlie, she'd quote the Candy Mountain video on YouTube by saying "Charlieee...." just to annoy our other friend. This went on for about 5 minutes. Then our BD happened to be behind us, and he saw our Asst. BD and was like, "Charlie, come here for a second." (Our Asst. BD's name is Charlie) You kinda had to be there, but it was funny.

At marching band practice
assistant bd: Did you put your uniforms on the cart? cymbal: Yep. *I shift all sheepishly* a. bd: [bariclaribob]! I'm shocked! me: I just got here, I swear! *I head out to go get my uniform* bd: Hey, [bariclaribob], come here a second. *I turn around and head to the band office* a. bd: Hey, [bariclaribob], come here. *I spin around and see the a. bd on the other side of the band room, sigh, and start walking that way* a. bd: Just kidding. *I go back to the band office* bd: Rumor has it that this is yours. *he holds out a $10 bill. I look at it blankly* bd: Someone said you lost it. Is it yours? Does it look familiar? me: Um... yeah. Sure. I've been looking for it everywhere. *bd gives me a suspicious look as I hold out my hand* a. bd: Good answer. *bd gives me the money* bd: Yeah, especially with the whole shifty eyes going...
Whatever. I got $10 out of the deal.
