We were at practice and it was aboout to storm. Bd: You're going to let the football team think there tougher. They aren't going in because of a storm. Tuba: There not carrying large lightning rods. Baritone: And we didn't lose 28-0.
Me: Our tradition of playing the fight song 3 times per games continues. Once when the team comes out; once after the show, and once after the football team loses by a million points.
DM: Did you know that we're like 147th in the state. Me: Yay! Only 146 to go!
Dance line/trumpet: Come on Lions. We need a miracle. Trumpet: I hate to tell you, God only watches College and Pro football.
Background story. It a HCHS tradition for the cheerleaders to use the we are proud of you cheer at the end of a loss. Cheerleaders: *after scoring 1st touchdown of the season*We are proud of you, say we are proud of you. Me: Dang it's sad when they cheer that cheer after only one touchdown.
Cheerleaders: Lions are you gonna win tonight. Various band members and me: NO! Cheerleaders:All you gotta do is put your mind to it. Me That is not true. There minds may be to it, but their body isn't working together with their mind.
Me: I knew we had lost before the game started. Trumpet: How's That? Me: Because I saw them easily kick a field goal from the 30 yard line, and we couldn't kick one if we were on the 5 yard line and the goalpost was on the ground.

DM: *randomly makes a couple of funny faces then says to me* Hey you look cool. Me: hmm? Tuba: Don't I look cool DM: No
(while trumpets talking about something my section leader says is a modivation speech) me: So what's our motivation speech tuba: Don't stink yadda yadda Confindence yadda yadda (he says something else but I can't remember)
on the bus Guard is putting me and Flute's hair in a braid for our bandana (we can either wear hair down or in braids haha We don't have to where hats this year!) Tuba: Can you put my hair in a braid? Guard: Sure Flute: just uses those elastic things that are for braces.

Wow, I finally got some!
Me: [to trombone player] What the heck is wrong with your trombone? It has these weird lacerations on it, like someone slashed it! I think your trombone is emo. Me: *in a whiny voice* I'm not worth playing anymore! Waaahhhh!
Quad player: Yeah, [BD] said how NBC is going to be taping us for Macy's. Ya know, National Broadcast Channel? Dang, I thought that meant Nabisco!
*trombones gather in a circle* Trombone SL: Okay, we're going to pray now. Freshman: But I'm atheist! SL: Hold on a sec. Lemme think of something here, okay? SL: *Ahem.* Dear Lord, please help us convert [freshman] to Catholicism, because it's the mighty religion. But we can worry about that another time. Also, let God help us out in our show so that we don't fall while marching through the mud. And lastly, even though it's [other band's] field, they stink, so He should bless us instead. Me: Now that wasn't biased... SL: Whatever. Amen.

[In the French song...] BD: Someone need to ask Madame Alexander what *struggles* "Lay fur-ette" means. Me: Le furet? [Pronounced "leh fuer-aeh"]. It means the feret. BD: *Weird face.*
BD: Do you have the piccolo part? Me: What? BD: The piccolo cue notes! Me: *Confused.* No... BD: Oh. Well, you're getting the pic solo tomorrow. Me: ... I don't have a piccolo. BD: ... Use your flute.
Flutes: *Not paying attention, so I'm the only one who came in.* BD: STOP! *Looks at me.* Is this a flute solo? Me: No... BD: EXACTLY! THIS IS NOT A KES SOLO! Band: *Laughs.*
[In Jazz Band.] BD: Does what the trumpets are playing sound familiar, alto saxes? Alto sax: *Mumble.* Yeah... BD: What? Me: Yes, it does. BD: Maybe you should be playing them...

Trombone: The field smells like go-karts! Me: Why would a football field smell like GoGurt? Trombone: You know, that "tire and gasoline" smell. Me: What? Tire and gas yogurt? Trombone: NO. Go-kart. Me:Ohhhhhh... what flavor do you like, lemon burning rubber or strawberry go-kart? Trombone: *smacks forehead*

tuba: Hey Trumpet will you be my male girlfriend? Trumpet: Sure me: But wait wasn't Chorusmember supposed to find you one?
Tuba brought a sign with him that says "FREE LOUIE" Tuba: *holds up sign and begins calling for DM* most of band: *joins in calling for DM*
