All funny, amusing, or heart-touching DM moments go HERE! ;D
DM: *we cant hear, can't hear...* "...Clarinets... *smacking gesture*" Me: (to my best friend) Did he just proverbially slap our whole section? L: Did you just proverbially slap our whole section? DM: No... of course not... *pantomimes retard clarinet*
BD: *standing on podium* By the way, the parents think that it's getting old making fun of me in the band camp skit. DM: *sitting on podium next to BD* I think the only thing getting old around here is Mr. L! BD: *looks down at DM* DM: *looks up**cheeky grin*
Old DM: *is looking at the band who is sitting in the stands at a football game* I just realized that I have complete control over an organized group of people. I could make you sing, or recite poetry, or read my literature book to me because according to my english teacher, I'm incapable of doing it on my own.
My DM and I were walking through the stage and he tripped over a stage cord thingy and got tangled in the curtains. So he was beating the curtains violently, trying to get free. Finally he did, and said (in a very dignified voice) "You didn't just see that." I was like "Of course not." *pantomimes battling curtains*
DM: Number three! Band: What? DM: Eye of the Tiger! Band: What? DM: Eye *points at his eye* of the Tiger *makes tiger-claw-motion thingy* Band: What? DM2: EYE OF THE MOTHER F****** TIGER! Band: Oh. Number three.
<3 DMs!!!

Last year's DM had this habit of conducting which would make his shirt lift up. As if that wasn't bad enough, at certain points in the show, he would move his hands so weirdly that it ended up looking like he was spanking someone. Our head DM can sing! She was the featured singer in our 2nd song this year. XD I guess that's a quirk because, like, NO ONE in band can sing.

We have a bisexual DM, so he's really crazy. He cusses at people all the time, and just does so much weird stuff. I can't explain much of it, you just have to be there. He's a great DM though

One of our DM's climbed trees with us at band camp sectionals until the other one started yelling at him!

Okay, this one tops all:
At the holiday concert, the DMs always give the BDs presents. *coughTIEScough* So this year, while the band's still on stage, the DMs pull all of the BDs up on stage and present them with their gifts. Really pretty ornaments inscribed "Rhapsody Riffs, 2006 Tiger Band". Yeah, pretty cool. Then... then they pulled out the results of two teenage boys wandering around the mall with cash.
DM1: So... we still had some money left, and... and now Keith is going to try to explain what we were thinking. DM2: Yeah... thanks, Jonathan. So, we had this money, right? Well, we happened to walk past a Build A Bear. And we were like "hmmm, what animals would the directors be?" DM1: *pulls out four Bear boxes* Band: *cracks up* DM1: and we PERSONALIZED them! DM2: *pulls out bear #1**which is actually a dog* This is Briskey's 'bear'. *holds dog up to mic and presses it's hand* "WORK SMARTER, NOT HARDER!!!!" (briskey's catch phrase) Band: *nearly falls out of chairs* Parents: *are confused* DM2: *pulls out bear #2* This is Larson's bear. It says what he's really thinking. (Larson is easy on all of us) "That's good, that's good.... HAIL ME!" DM2: *pulls out bear #3* This is Lancaster's bear. "Okay, band, do it one more time..... okay, one more time." DM2: *pulls out bear #4* And this is Mr. Woods' bear, which we had stuffed ROCK HARD! (Woods also directs our colorgaurd. He is always making weird analogies and last year at sectionals, he was like "No, it has to be warm and happy! Like nice warm muffins, with butter) "PLAY THE GAME! You know you want those warm... buttery... MUFFINS!" Band: *is actually falling out of chairs by now* Lancaster: Briskey wants to know why he's the dog...
Omg, it was SO hilarious!

Last year, both of our DMs were guys. Our head DM was about 5'7"-ish, so when he messed up conducting, he did his pushups on our permanent podium. Our head DM this year is a girl--actually the younger sister of the DM my freshman year. She's, oh, probably about 6'3"-ish. She... can't do pushups on the podium
DM: *hops off podium* B-tone: Where are you going? DM: *grumbling* I'm doing pushups. B-tone: *not too bright* Jonathan did pushups ON the podium. DM: *glare of death* Trumpet: That's because Jonathan was shoooooort. Band: Oh! Burn! You can't burn the old DMs!

My DM is beyond quirky she's **** stupid.
This one was funny for the wrong reasons; "I know we're all crabby, but we need to get along." Me: "DM, shut up, that's a lost cause."
*after she randomly ditched class. What a role model* BD: Where were you? You were truant! DM: You wanna fight? (she ostensibly has a black belt, but I will believe it when I see it)
*after a basketball game in which she had to conduct in BD's absence* DM: You know, tonight has really sucked, and the low brass hasn't made it any better Me: You know, every drum major in history ever to have a low brass has dealt with the same problem you're having
