Right before the drum major starts the show on the field, we make sure we're where we're suppossed to be, but we're usually in such tight formations it's pretty much useless to move then. (All this is in under 20 seconds. The drum major barely has time to get all the words out before we answer hahaha) DM: BAND! TENHUT! Band: -snares hit rim- HUN! DM: ADDRESS ADDRESS AND! Band: ZAP! (turn head to left if on right hand side, right if on left hand side) DM: ADDRESS ADDRESS AND! Band: ZAP! (Heads front) DM: EYES FRONT HEADS UP Band: GO!
before we even get on the field, I've mentioned this before on another thread, but we have 'church' around 10 minutes before the end of the second quarter. It's where we all get down on one knee behind the goalpost on the track with our hats off and a group of about 3 of the goofiest senior guys are the 'preachers' who preach about God and the Angels smiling upon our band and giving us the divine power to kick the other band's behinds amongst other random things such as analogies to squirrels and mouthpieces and some other innappropriate stuff. It was actually temporarily banned for a year because one of the refs found it unsportman like, but we resurrected it this year.
and in our marching cadence, we kick and scream 'wha'. then the second time we 'charlie brown' before kicking and yelling.

Wen we come outta tha stands 4 halftime we walk in a line onto the track. then we walk around in a circle 4 a few seconds, the we lay our trumpets down. then we stretch(dont ask).. and the we hold hands and pray! and wen we finish we pick up our horns and stand in attention(still in circle) . then the section leader(me) goes in the middle. and the trumpets are call the T.A.T.S.(Tight A** Trumpet Section) I Give Out a loud-me: T.A. rest: T.S. Loud As we can! then wen the other band walks over we stand right beside them in attention, facing them as close as we can without touching them! T.A.T.S.!!!

We don't have a whole lot, being a very young band, but the few that I can think of off the top of my head are:
-Chanting during drumline cadences: OOOOOOH! HEY! HEY! GET FIRED UP! *repeat* -In the tunnels, before we march on to the field at high velocity: Trumpet DI: BAND! WHAT IS YOUR PROFESSION?! Band: WAHOO! WAHOO! WAHOO!
...Yes, that's a 300 reference. Cuz we're awesome like that.
Also, the drumline has a chant, but it's too complicated for me to properly transcribe at the moment (that, and I can never really make out what exactly they're saying).

We have a pre-parade run down: DM: Feet! Band: Together! Stomach-in Chest-out Shoulders-back Chin-up Eyes-with pride Eyes-with pride EYES-WITH PRIDE Don't suck on 3! One, two, three DON'T SUCK! Knights! What is your profession? OOH! OOH! OOH! That's our senior chant for before and after the football games. The only chant we really do before games, mostly only away games, is this one, which our current Field Commander made up, or I think she did. . . Chant: Who's dynamite? We're dynamite! And when you mess with dynamite It goes tick, tick, tick, tick BOOM! Dynamite! Double up. BOOM BOOM! Dynamite!

We have the randomnest band cheers ever. for example in the bus, or basically anywhere else:
What time is it? BAND TIME What time is it? BAND TIME! WHAT TIME IS IT?! BAND TIME!!!!
and then before parades, or whenever we want to do this one:
What do we want? Band Cheese! When do we want it? NOW!
We also have our nerdy cheer because my school is the ultimate nerd school. People talk about how many SAT practice tests they've taken, how many prep books they have, how many AP classes their taking, etc...
2400 on the SAT, I am taking 5 Ap's! Sine, cosine, tangent line 3.14159!
And then we randomly sing happy birthday to our band director. It's her birthday everyday!

During football games, our corps, some random time after our 3rd quarter break, we do a "Shake your booty" at the drum majors.
Us: Hey drum majors!
them: yea?
us: Shake your booty!!
them: no way!
us: shake your booty!!
them: Okay!
[jump shake your booty]
and they do it right back at us.
before halftime, we do what we call Flippies...thats where we swarm around the drum majors and crouch low to the ground, shaking our hands furiously. the drum majors say stuff to pump us up and get excited and we scream "HI [insert name]" to random people the drum majors name.
in individual sections, my section, Sopranos (trumpets) we get together, pump eachother up. when we break, we all put our elbows in instead of our hands or instruments...this is our joke of the year. the "Nubs" joke. (Its quite innapropriate, so I wont explain what it is here...if you wanna know so badly, PM.) I tell em "altight guys get your Nubs in!' [elbows in] "lets get out there and melt some faces! ready! sopranos on 3! 1 2 3!" all: SOPRANOS!!
after football games, a fellow first and I have just recently made our own little "after game" duet...the TEQUILA song. I play the main melody, he plays the background while were all walking into the bandroom...and in the end all my sops yell "Soprano"
its pretty great.
our Mellophones chose their theme to be "Thundercats".... hell the 2 leads made shirts for all the mellos, each with a name of one of the thundercats. at random points, either at dismissal or before halftime, one of em yells "Thundercats!!" and the rest yell "ARE GO!!"
after halftime, we all gather for some words from our band director. before or after he speaks, one of us (usually one of the drummers) usually yells, "WHO'S HOUSE??!!!!" to which re respond, "OUR HOUSE!!!" this happens 3 times before we all go insane and cheer... of course its only at home games.
while were marching back to the bandroom, we do a hornwave. I'm always the one to call it...wherever I am in the line, I'll scream "HORN WAVE!!" and it begins =p

Well before the performance, we slap each others shakos, right on the front shiny part and it REALLY hurts, but it's our way. And also, we do the wave in the flute/picc section with out instruments. And we also group up in a circle, we do the "unce unce unce unce" thing until the band director yells, "WHAT?" and we shout, "RVMB '08!!!!!!!!"

Before we perform at any competition, my band director goes down the two lines we march on in, telling everyone, "Do a good job, have a good time, think about it." He alternates between people. We did two shows yesterday, and I got Have a Good Time both times. Made me happy. XD
Oh, and my friend has a song that she likes to sing before be perform: "We are the clarinets, we're the best. We always rule, you can forget the rest." XD She made it up in like ten seconds, but it kind of stuck.

we do this one Drum major: Hey [section]! Section: Hey what? DM: Hey [section]! S: Hey what? DM: Lets pump, pump, pump it up! s: Lets pump, pump, pump it up! DM: -while roboting- P-U-M-P HOOH s: -while roboting- P-U-M-P HOOH then after all the sections and band it is band: hey Madi! Madi the DM: hey what? us: hey madi! Madi: Hey what? us: Lets pump, pump, pump it up! Madi: Lets pump, pump, pump it up! us: -while roboting- P-U-M-P HOOH Madi: -while roboting- P-U-M-P HOOH
I only used Madi's name because she is amazing and wouldn't care, plus if someone happens to know where shes from, she would know them.
