Not sure this one counts, but there was a Whataburger cup left in a locker for almost the entire year last year. It still had some soda in it on the last day of school. -shudder- A girl in my section left a chicken salad in her locker over spring break. It smelled like... UGHHHHHH when we came back. Everyone was like "what died?"

my BD said he once had a kid that played the trumpet while chewing gum and his trumpet tuned green and looked like molded swiss cheese

I've got one from last night. We were on a forty minute drive down to where we were playing and one of the trumpet players on my bus got explosive diarrhea about halfway there. Omg it smelled sooo bad! I feel really bad for him though because 1. That's really mortifying 2. He had to run down the line of buses to get to the bathrooms to clean himself up. That and I feel really bad for the dry cleaners that have to clean up his pants.

Last year we found a shirt that belonged to our drum captain. He had left in the band room his sophomore year and he was a senior last year. It stood up by its self there was so much mold.

The officers had to clean out the band closet this year before the start of band camp. There was lots of gross stuff and we also had to clean off the TOPS of the instrument lockers, so we had to get up on a ladder and sweep the stuff onto the floor, so we ended up having to pick up all the dusty, dirty, trash with our hands and get it into the trash can! Blech!
Also, one year, one of the saxes didn't clean his mouthpiece all season! It turned white!

Today at the beginning of practice, we were just standing in a set waiting for our BD to tell us what to do when my SL's boyfriend goes up to a trombone player and pulls down the trombone player's shorts. So, the trombone player just stands there in his boxers with his shorts all the way down to his ankles. Then my SL goes up to her boyfriend and tells the trombone player to pull his shorts back up and stuff, so he does. Then he looks behind him to see if our BD or any of the staff was there, grabs his shorts and boxers, and moons everyone. It was funny but gross at the same time lol.

^ How do you get mooned by an accordian player in MARCHING BAND? Lol. That much be a..um unique, story. Not really. The accordion player was in front of me in a set, and I was laying down, and he's all "hey, Oscar", and his pants are down on his thighs.

Pretty much. We're going to have two of them next year. He's getting a wireless amp hookup.

Is that normal? At all? Am I just oblivious?
OR
Are you in an odd band?

We have the only accordion marching in CBA, and we will see about NMEA when we go to Zia and Farmington.

^ How do you get mooned by an accordian player in MARCHING BAND? Lol. That much be a..um unique, story. We totally had an accordion player my first and second year. So there was this cooler, sitting by the door in our band room. It had sat there since band camp, unclaimed, with a few pieces of leftover lunch, water, and empty bottles in it... It sat there until the end of the school year. Lets just say that after ten months, it smelled a little like old baby puke, and the day it got knocked over was NOT a fun one. Also, when we had a drumline, they used to hock lugies on the field (which is gross in itself) right where the color guard would be marching...barefoot.

My old mouthpiece turned brown inside after having my lip busted. And my newer but still old mouthpiece smelled like rotted mozzarella.
Our lead trombone puked at the same game 2 years in a row, then his little brother did this year after the lead had graduated.

^ family tradition?
When I'm doing library duties, pulling music out of the folders that stick together and make a weird peeling noise when pulled apart. I have just learned to not think about it. That and some weird squishy, wet, smelly brown gunk on the back of several of the accordian folders in the shelf.

A dress rehearsal for our pit orchestra my senior year, I was playing trombonium (basically a marching baritone only smaller and, obviously, has the sound more like a trombone) and we were doing a full run of the show. Our first song was the Overture, and it always segued into the second song ... the trombone part has no last note of the Overture, yet we play the first note of the next song. I guess during this run I had forgotten we played the second song right after the Overture, because as the beginning of the second song started I whipped my horn up to my face and blew my lips out. The funny thing was, it didnt hurt ... and I finished the song only to have the trombone next to me say that I had blood on my shirt AS WELL as all OVER my baritone bell. Needless to say I SCREAMED at my director and ran off the pit shell and into the bathroom. I didn't get the bleeding to stop until the second act, hahaha.
