Me: Have you ever noticed that every single one of our conversations go around to marching band or DCI? Friend: Well, yeah, but not all the time. Me: Let's try not to talk about anything band related. *pushes hand onto a wall* Friend: HEY! That's like the push we did in Medusa! ['05 show] That. . . .is possibly one of the COOLEST things I have EVER said. Plus, you DID do it almost perfectly. . .

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?
I have a friend who was in the Mandarins [WAS because he aged out] and he once had to shower with some of the Cavaliers members. He told my other friend who told me that he noticed that most of the Cavaliers had rainbow necklaces on.

*we were playing through a part in band, trumpets are slow* BD: Ok, so lets find the r etard... Everyone: *laughs* *He singles out one trumpet to play, and they mess up* *Trumpet SL* THERE! WE FOUND HIM! The funny part was that is was Jared. . .the other section leader and senior! Remember, today we had another retard/ritard moment in the clarinet section. I think it was either Scott S or Cha. OH, and we're playing this piece called 'Seacliffe Overture' and there's a part where we just go 'Da-ga-dut!' [sixteenth notes tied to an eighth note]. Me and my friend ended up singing our part repeatedly, so finally when our teacher did it again, we both said 'da-ga-dut!' rather loudly and our beand teacher finally turned to us and went 'hey look, see, you two blondes! She's [referring to me] is starting to rub off on you!'

Trombone instructor: [Trombone with her legs crossed], both feet on the floor please! Other trombone (her boyfriend): Yeah, jeez, stop levitating!
Today was Alter Ego Day as mentioned before, so I went all-out goth/punk/emo (chains, all black, zippers, safety pins, black nail polish, fishnets, eye shadow, you name it - I would never wear that stuff). The whole trombone section kept jagging me with tons of emo jokes as we were setting drill spots.
I'm sorry if this is offensive or whatnot...
Baritone SL: We're tired and we don't want to do anything. When we go to sectionals, tell [instructor] that if he makes us play, you'll slit your wrists! Me: I'll jump out a window! Trombone: You should have put eyeliner tears on. Me: I tried, but they kept running. I knew I was gonna get all hot and gross today with my sweater on. Trombone: Aww, that sucks. The wrist slitting idea is great, though. "I'll be over here in the corner, sharpening my razorblade..."
Flute player: Wow. You really took this alter ego thing to the extreme. You should make a song up about it to play today... Us: *both look at each other and start singing the Emo Song* Assistant BD: *walks around the corner and just stares*

Today during practice, our BD dressed us to the center, and he said: BD: Stay dressed until I undress you! Trombone in my section: Oh yeah~! Everyone was just cracking up, but trying not to. It was awfully hard not to though, lol.
Baritone SL: Ok Baritones! Let's make this line gooder!

Assistant BD: I know that fundamentals aren't pleasurable BD: But...they're FUNdamentals! Lol, that reminds me... Assistant BD: Come on, guys, we're doing FUNdamentals! There's "fun" in fundamentals! Saxophone: Yeah, and there's also "mental!" It was great...I wish I'd seen who said it, but they were behind me.

This isn't really a band quote, but we were in Guitar class today (yes, my school offers a guitar class), and our Assistant BD teaches it. Me and one of my friends who also plays clarinet are the only bandies in that class, and the only ones that know how to read music so far, but that's not the point.
Anyways, today we did this "Social Contract" thing where you answer four questions like, "How do you want the teacher to treat you?" "How should you treat the teacher" etc... So, the Asst. BD numbered us off from 1-4 so we could get into groups. My friend was the last one to get numbered, and there was an uneven amount of people, so the Asst. BD told her to pick 3,4, or 5. She didn't mean to say this, but she said, "Hmm... I don't know. Hey, [me]! What number was you?" Our Asst. BD was like, "We won't have grammar like that in this class!" It was funny.
Then, during the same class, our Asst. BD was writing the questions on the board and he accidentally wrote, "How should treat the teacher" I was like, "[ABD], You forgot 'you'. So much for good grammar!" You kinda had to be there, lol.

Haha, band camp started this week, and I realized how much I missed our BD's analogies and him blaming his daughters for everything.
BD: For all you newbies, this is how I describe what happens when you take a breath after a crescendo. -takes breath- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH -breathes- HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
DM: Can everyone see me? Flute: No, Steph, I can't. DM: You don't count.
BD: Okay, so there's the crescendo at measure 93 Band: 53! BD: That's what I said! Don't question me.

Back in my freshman year - I'm not a junior. ^.~
the trumpets: *fools around using their trumpets during the break but when having to remain on the field* me: *cracking up so bad* Oh god! trumpet soloist: *looks over and smiles* DM : *walks over to the soloist and shrugs* Matthew? What's going on? t.s.: Nothing, Danielle! DM: Well SOMETHING must be going on, Matthew Leonard! Otherwise, that freshman clarinet over there wouldn't be laughing, now would she? t.s. : *slightly laughing* I don't know what you're talking about, Danielle. DM : Mat! Spit it out! You're doing something, because Ji Su is obviously finding something amusing that YOU are doing! When a freshman in Marching Band laughs, it's almost always you! Especially if Fackleman is busy talking to other staff members or to one of us Drum Majors! me and t.s. : *laughing harder* t.s. : I'm sorry, Danielle, but I really don't know what you're talking about! BD : SET! Five sets back! NOW! DM : *glaring at t.s.* You got luck this time, Mat Leonard! *storms off to the front* me and the t.s. : *laughs real hard*

:Sorry I post a lot, lol. We have lots of funny things happen in our band...:
Today we were going over a piece in class, and our conductor noticed the saxes were outplaying the trombones. So, of course, he said... "More bone, less sex!" And we all just laughed hard. He soon corrected himself.

HEY I was going to post that!!!! Why do you ALWAYS beat me?!?!
And it was 'more BONES,' not bone.
But I really miss our Samoan section leader. . .him flipping us:
Andrew [his name]: Rachel! Come here! I'm going to flip you! Rachel: No! You won't! I don't want you to! Andrew: I don't care, someday you're going to look back and wish I'd flipped you! Rachel: Fine. . . . *goes over to Andrew, who picks her up to flip over his shoulder* Andrew: Ok, but just kick your legs back so it's easier. Rachel: Fine. . . *Andrew flips her, she kicks but kicks him* Andrew: OW! You weren't supposed to kick me! Rachel: Well, now maybe one day you'll look back and regret telling me I'd regret not having you flip me!
