This isn't band related, but I cut myself with my toenail once while putting on a sock because I hadn't cut it in a while. Nice... Work... Altoclarinets!

Sounds painful, but yes, funny.

I play french horn, and out of pure curiousity (and the fact I had my cousin's old flute) I decided I would try teaching myself to play flute. (For the record, I only got as far as learning the Bb scale.) One night I was practicing, and I was really tired. I laid down on my bed and held the flute above my head. The flute has a lose end joint. It fell off. And hit me on the forehead. That is one of the worst pains I've ever felt in my life. I don't know how far it fell, but it basically felt like someone had smashed a metal pipe into my head. My vision went black around the edges when it happened - I honestly think I was nearly knocked out. My head throbbed, I could barely walk, and I had a headache for a few days Not to mention how my band director nearly died laughing when I told him how I got the peculiar half circle cut on my forehead. Would you like a picture? And please note this is an awful picture because it's late at night and I'm in pain.

during the past marching season i stepped in a hole on the practice field that we barely ever use and i tore my ligaments and tendons in my right ankle. and i get blisters from my flute, so we were play at our elementary school for the opening of their new playground and my lip started bleeding a lot. it didn't stop for 20 minutes.
and my brother (who marches sousa) got tripped by a trumpet when we did this weird circle thing. so he went down and a bunch of people in his circle went down on top of him. it was so funny. they asked if the sousa was okay before they asked him.
during my sophomore year the clarinets had a very large fall... all of them went down except about two of them. they became know as the bowling clarinets. it was amazing.

The abd here (who marched mellophone in Southwind and Phantom) would always remind me that in drum corps, they taught you to save the horn over yourself. I almost got a lecture about that when I fell on my brand-new mello.

An alto sax in marching band dislocated her knee when someone walked up behind her and tried to sweep her leg out from under her. That was about a week ago, and she still can't march. I heard she won't be able to come to camp where we learn all of our routine, so I don't think she'll be able to march this season at all.
Two years ago, at the band camp dance, the alto sax sl was being an absolute maniac. He was running around a table and flapping his arms, and he bumped into it and (naturally) dislocated his knee. He healed enough to march in our parade two days later, though. Seems a tradition: alto sax must dislocate knee on non-trip years.

A flautist in my band was screwing around during track and broke her wrist THE DAY BEFORE CONTEST. I felt really bad for her, because flute is her whole life, but really, why would you jump over a hurdle backwards?

well i now have a weak ankle because of marcing band. we had this move where we are going about 180 and you go backwards and then forwards and i nearly fell doing that one time and twisted my ankle real bad. but me, being the band nerd i am, marched the rest of the show. that was about halfway throught the show. so now evertime i do something to that ankle it hurts like 5397609763 times worse. and i have to wear a brace now. ugh.
