BD: We were like two mothers crying when their son got married.
BD: Well, now that we've wasted half the rehearsal with pant on the ground I think we should move on.
(After listening to a recording of a professional band play the song we are playing) BD: So does anyone recognize any differences between that band and ours. Me: ummm, they have good trumpet players? Band: ohhhhhh... she went there
BD: OK everybody now we're going to play crazy train... because we're CRAZY! Trumpet: AND A TRAIN!!!

Okay, so these were things that happened a long time ago, but I still remember them:
We had this other trumpet player who really shouldn't have been in band (No offense to the kid...) BD: I don't what is with you guys today, but you need to play better! The Trumpet: Ya, guys! Come on, you're not playing with enough spazz! Band: ...Spazz?
We have this other really good trumpet player in our band that can hit like every single note, and has been taking lessons for who knows how long. BD: I remember going to see the Marine's Band, and they had like 20 trumpet players! Trumpet 1 (To Me): Ya, but they don't have an <really good trumpet player>!

"We're on Major Boulevard!" "What happened to Minor Boulevard?" "It's diminished."

*BD is yelling at trombones for not being able to play their wind ensemble music*
Saxophone: Man, everything is hard for the trombones these days.
*a few seconds later*
Same Saxophone: That's what she said.

At band camp this summer: BD: Saxes, anyone remember how to make yourselves sound like a french horn? My shoots up less than a second after he asks. Everyone stares at me. BD looks at me oddly. BD: ...Yes? Me: Stick your hand in the bell and play all the wrong notes! BD: Yep! *french horns look insulted* BD: I'm just picking on you guys. My BD has also said to some girls "I heard you're a hot item". I heard that my other one said in the middle of class, when the band was playing, "God darn it tubas!!". Except he didn't say darn.

Ninja BD: [about breathing excercises] If you see little stars, you're doing it right. If you see black, you need to sit down.
Ninja BD: [after band blasts unpleasant sounds] ... if you do that again, I might have an aneurysm.
[during practice in the midst of a thunderstorm] me: Hey S Flute! Maybe if all of us hold out instruments up, we'll attract lightning! me and S Flute: [hold up instruments] Lightning: [comes dangerously close] Mustachioed BD: GO INSIDE.

I'd rather be in a band with no life than in a life with no band.

While we were practicing our circle expansion...
BD: I can't read this circle! It's not even round! It's just a moving blob of humanity!
Watching our aerial video from Giants Stadium..
BD: Through this video, we can get high- Band: *laughs* BD: We can get high naturally and geographically! Not chemically. We don't endorse that here.

At a low woodwinds/brass sectional some of us were playing too loud.
BD: Bigger isn't always better.
Senior: That's what she said.
Everyone started cracking up, but I'm not sure the BD heard it. She probably did, but just shrugged it off.
We also had a MB competition where we took charter buses. We couldn't bring on opened water bottles because they could be filled with other liquids.
BD: You can't bring opened water bottles on the bus. *looks around* I see some are already half drunk.
Band: *cracks up*
BD: You know what I mean...

I think my best quote only involves symbols that look like **** that. In college, our bd would be up in his tower yelling at us over a microphone. If he was mad enough, he'd turn off the microphone and just start yelling and cursing, constant ****s like that. We could still hear him without the mega phone. He'd also do that when cars drove by and honked at us (which is a common thing I do today, as an alum

Last night at graduation: "If a band plays at graduation, and no one is around to hear it, does it still make a sound?"
