There were so many stupid things said during our last sectional of band camp today...
BD: *brings low brass instructor a piece of paper* Instructor: *looks at it and laughs* Trombone: What was so L-O-L? Instructor: Ah, I actually get to see the schedule beforehand this year. That's pretty nice. Trombone: Oh. I'm R-O-F-L.
Instructor: And what does a bad habit start with? Trombone: ... B? Instructor: It starts with the first time. Trombone: Oh, I thought you were trying to trick us.
Trombone: *grabs a teacher's pointer from atop a file cabinet* (We practice in an empty math classroom.) Trombone: *starts waving it around* Baritone SL: You'd better put that stick down. Trombone: *keeps playing* Baritone SL: I hope whoever teacher's room this is hunts you down next year and beats the living crap out of you with that stick!
Whole line: *hits really crazy diagonal - the last set of the show* Me: YES! *slams drill binder down on the field in a triumphant fit of glee* THAT WAS SO GOOD! Baritone SL: Okay, okay, don't freaking explode over there! Baritone: Kelly just had a bandgasm again. Me: BUT IT WAS SOOOOO GOOD! WE NAILED THAT LINE! Baritone SL: *imitating me* Ohhh yeah, that was soooooooo good. Ahhhhhhhhh. Baritones: *crack up*

I wish I was better at remembering these, but I do recall one quote from our last rehearsal when the BD was showing off his fancy cell phone...
Bass: Do you know how many tacos I could buy for that phone??

Bass: Do you know how many tacos I could buy for that phone?? That reminds me of when we got a new freezer. It's just a freezer. One of the first things I thought was 'MAN, I wonder how many Otter Pops I can fit in there!' Oh, and I remembered that yesterday in band class, there's a guy in our class who always sleeps in class. Band teacher: Okay, trumpets from measure 91. Where's Jared?? Jared: [wakes up] What? Oh. From where? Band teacher: Uhhh. . . .91. On another incident, with the new year starting, there ARE incidents where people forget their locker combinations. Trumpet: Uh. . .Hirata? I forgot the combination to my locker. . . Hirata: Oh, well THAT'S a REALLY good way to start off the year. Trumpet: Sorry. . . my bad! My baritone friend: Oh, good thing I didn't tell him I forgot my combination. I guess he didn't see me messing with my locker for like what, 10 minutes?

The other day in string ensemble *ok, not exactly band, lol* we were playing Rondeau, and our teacher's like... Teacher: Ok, Who knows what period we're in right now? Us: ...3? *it's the third period of the day* Teacher: NO, we're in the baroque period! Us:....OH!!!! We're not really that stupid, really. We didn't know what he was referring to XD

ok me and the bass clarinet were working with one of our section leaders on sliding and we both drift bad.. Odd enough though our intervals between each other are like perfect despite the fact that we keep drifting (and sometimes we drifted really bad too...) It happened at least 3 times
for the first 5 sets of our show the lows are standing still so once after everyone but us when back to the previous set
trombone: Good hustle Tenor Sax: what about me did I do good? trombone: No slowpoke Tenor sax: but I didn't move me + trombone: exactly.
our show this year is called reflections
DM: Since our show is Reflections we should all dress up as Trombone (who is the farthest one front) Trombone: That would scare me

yay, some band quotes finally! background info... to get on the field before pregame/halftime, percussion & dms march out first, and then everyone runs through the goalposts to their spots on the field. today we were practicing it, but didn't have any goalposts, so he made the dms act as goalposts. bd: (sounding like he's going to say something important) listen up! [dm1]... is dumb. [dm2] is dumber. that's why they're goalposts. same thing... and I'm going to call our tuba player "Penelope" because it's kind of a tradition. bd: $10 to anyone who knocks [1st snare] over. (later, after running out) 1st snare: (to dl instructor) Penelope almost took me out with her tuba! dl instructor: so? throw your stick at her. 1st snare: cool!

I'm locking this thread since it's gotten to 50 pages and moving it to the archive. You are welcome to start another one! ;D
