Ok, so our shirts have a story behind them. Every year, during the second week of band camp each sectio nhas someone come in to work on the music with them and our low reed guy was Mr. Blevens, aka T-DIZZLE! But he is a middle school band director, and he liked to tell us stories. So he told us this one story about this kid Cameron who was about yae-high (about waist height) and about yae-big around (stretch your arms all the way out). He comes in and says "MR BLEVENS...CAN I PLAY THE TUBA!" in this uber uber uber, higher pitched then a piccalo, voice. It was hilarious! And then he says random things like..."AM I IN THE RIGHT PARTIAL?!" and "GIMME THE BALL!!" Well, so for our section shirts, on the front it says: Mr. Blevens...? On the back: Am I in the right partial!?!
Tenor Saxes: blah blah blah blah blah blah
Bari Saxes: blah blah blah blah
Bass Clarinets: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
and above the names it has an L and a W with two hands (Low Winds) and we LOVE IT!
oh, and I love that Clarinet Mafia one, thats like our low reed section, we are all to lazy to get reeds, and this one girl made this kid buy her a whole box cause he split her reed right down the middle!

The drumline has shirts that say "we tap that...drum".
for the sax section we wanted to have some innuendo such as "Sax ed" or "sax on the beach" or something like that.

The trumpet shirts were funny this year. They had the Green Lantern on them.

Our band doesn't have sectional shirts either...so..we just make our own.
Front: F.B.I. Back: Flutes Bring It.
Then there are just band shirts...
Front: This you MUST understand... Back: Only the COOL kids are in Band.
Here's an inside joke one with my "Band Posse"
Front: Got Chreats? Back: Cha-Da-Dum Chreats!
Our other Band shirts have our name on the front, and a galaxy (our show is entitled The Galaxy and Beyond) and the back has our competition dates.

We finally got guard shirts, after much ado...
front: *name of school* mini color guard (we have 4 people) back: all of our faces on Mt. Rushmore and "First Rule of Color Guard: If you throw it that way, it goes that way"

lol. These are NOT section shirts. In fact, they aren't even band shirts.
I called them our 'band groupie shirts'
See, this year our band offered the oppertunity to play with the drumline after halftime to the six loudest fans. it was a hit.
before we knew it, we had people showing up to the games wearing matching shirts. they read.
(front) If only I was cool enough (back) To be in the band

Man, I so wish we had section shirts. If I ever become a section leader I'm going to get us one like this:
A Pair of White Gloves and a Pair of Black Gloves: $6 Marching Shoes: $45 Trumpet: $1300 Passing out while holding out the last note of the show: Priceless.
Hehe, I like that one. = D

Ok, I have a sorta hard request. I'm a DMIT(Drum Major In Training) and the two of us are making shirts. We have all the design stuff worked out(We're cutting our names out of bandanas!) but we need a slogan... DMITs are basically the drum major's umm...assistants, for lack of better words. We're known for sucking up to the drum majors. Need help! and quickly! What school are you from? I think we went after you at area this year if your band's show was Madusa [sp?]. P.S. I saw that in your signature

If at first you don't succeed...you obviously do not play French horn.

It would be fun to make our own shirts, but last year my section had no creativity whatsoever. Maybe this year we'll be better...
