"We don't get mad, we get even"- My BD.
When most of my freshmen class decided not to do the St. Patty's Parade.

We're talking about the band banquet and how each senior gets a few underclassmen friends to talk about them in front of the audience. Senior Clarinet: BD, will you speak for me? BD: No I will not speak for you, I won't speak for anyone... I don't even know your name for real.

Director: "You can have your water break after this runthough!"
*5 Hours later...*
Director: "You can have your water break after this runthough"

To preface, Boner2's sister has a rubber duck collection, and her favorite is Timmy. Timmy marches with us, underneath her shako, and if you touch him, you die.
*Boner2 posts a status about needing a job and hoping that BD doesn't give him a hard time* BD: *plugs his note about working and band* Random guy: Check the couch. Ransom Timmy. Just ideas Boner2: I all ready tried the Timmy thing. Now she's watching. Me: Sell crack to the woodwinds. Wait, bad idea. Sell weed to the woodwinds. Calms them down, gets you your money, and vies us leverage. "Show up to rehearsal or Boner2 is cutting you off for a week"

A newbie had just asked, "Are you gonna tune us?" BD: *after long explanation of NO* like, we might ask fluttietutte, play a Bb, and we tune everyone from there. Me: *picks up piccolo* Really? BD: Well, yeah, maybe we'll use a flute.
In leadership meeting: BD: We can't have section leaders freaking out after teaching someone. Say Alex is scared and he comes out and he's like OMG MR. BD I CAN'T DO THIS. THERE WAS A MACHETE AND THE SABRES POPPED OUT. I CAN'T DO IT!"

Me: So [assistant bd], when you were gone the other guy didn't allow us to wear gloves (for cymbals). And like 3 pairs cracked. *[ABD] stands there silently, eyes shut and gripping the door for about 20 seconds before returning to normal* Snare: Wow [ABD], you took that way better than expected. I thought you'd like scream or hit something. [ABD]: You have no idea how close I came to getting my hammer out and smashing everything. Now, if you'll excuse me... *[ABD] walks out of the band room, screaming is heard. She didn't return for ten minutes*

*before a basketball game* *our director was telling us to go around the crowd before pre-game and talk to the fans* BD: "... and you don't have to worry about looking like dorks because you're in the band!" Us: *laughing*
He meant that we're so cool and like the "rockstars" of the game that we can just go talk to anyone. We interpreted it to mean, we're already geeks in the band, so we can't look much dorkier.

We're were talking about our leadership prank for band camp, and all these non-leadership kept walking by, so we had to change the topic. *Kid walks by* DM: MOUSETRAPS ARE A GREAT IDEA! TrumpetSL: MOUSETRAPS IN THE SLEEPING BAG! SaxSL: MOUSETRAPS IN THE TOILET SEATS! Me: MOUSETRAPS IN YOUR CEREAL!
I was chillin' with my friend and we were talking about how the omg-so-cute woodwind tech we have was kinda being a jerk. Clarinet: Yea, he wasn't very nice. Me: But he makes up for it in his looks. C: What? Me: He makes up for it in his looks. C: He forms up in his luxs?

During band camp while doing fundamentals. BD: If you mess up, I will call your name on the PA, everyone will laugh at you, your pants will fall, down, and you will have no friends. Trom1: *goofs off* BD: (On the PA) Trom1 has no friends.
BD: That's what he wishes she said!

FieldCaptain: (Repeatedly) Set-dress-set! ... Damnit.
MarchingInstructor: Okay, guys; it's down to Taps. BassClarinet: Who died?
MI: If their heels don't land on the line, if they don't roll step, if they fall over, if they don't call the command, they're out. Me: *crawls forward to watch the line*
It's amazing how many that's what she said jokes float around our band room / marching field. Actually, it's just ridiculous.

Sorry for the double, post but I just remembered something. One of our band goals this year is to practice like FOB (the biggest festival of our season) is 'tomorrow'. In other words, march hard and stay focused. Second day of band camp we were dressing our first movement (by yesterday we had half hour show, which never happened before so we're excited)
BD: Guys, remember! March like FOB is tomorrow! Trombone1: [Whispered] We're screwed.

Jazz Director: *to the trumpets playing the same rhythm as the horn* No! You guys don't play with the trumpets. You're horns. Think horny thoughts! Needless to say, we cracked up and the director reworded his statement. Also, cheesy pun. Our show's name is Lux (like ducks). BD: We're going to have good Lux this year! Haha...get it? Band: ..... OH HA Ha ha. *sarcasm*

In Functions, Statistics, and Trigonometry, my teacher is highly appreciative of sarcasm. On the first day we filled out a sheet about us. Other classes, for me, went as follows: Per. 0 - Jazz (Alpha) / Jazz (Omega) (Alternating days) Per. 1 - US History Per. 4 - Marching Band
Under activities/clubs/sports, I put... Marching band, Elements Jazz, Evolution Jazz, volleyball, LAX, and track.
Under hobbies I put....
Marching band, wind ensemble, jazz band, the other jazz band, honor band, youth symphony, orchestra, and four-wheeling. I got a half-page response, a handful of orange starbursts, and a 'True story' written next to it in red pen. I love Mr. Hellwege.

Sorry for the double post, but...
Mr. Hellwege was doing some math on the board and he was all, "Holy jumping up and down, Martha, it's 6.5!"
