It always seems like I'm the one who pases out the names in low brass, but have never recieved one personally (or atleast not to my face <.< . People I've helped 'name': Bari #1 - Skittles. He likes Skittles and would usually have a bag with him on band trips. He hates being called that, though. Bari #2 - Scooby. I forget how he got the name, but that's what I call him (as I have some trouble remembering his real name). Bari #3 - Racheal Ray. The Ray was added to poke fun at her and the cook. I also went around with a pen one day and wrote the names of several treats on the hands of some fellow band members. Cookie, Cupcake, and Pie, with myself being Donut. They never really stuck past a few days though. Of course, there's a few more people who have been named in the band. Sax #1 - Skip. Not sure how we started calling him that, but it just stuck. Sax #2 - Sunshine. Given to him by my best friend. It was a play on his bright blonde highlights, but more of a reminder of who he is (I was continuously calling him by our new Sousa player's name). Bass dude - Mountain. There was a story, but I forgot. I think it had to do with on of our stretches. He's also been called 'Brokeback Mountain' and 'Mountain of Love' on a few occassions. Some of our alumni had names that I remember. A trumpet was called 'Cheech', and a quad player called 'Smitty'. Never heard the story though. I love it when people give out nicknames. Makes it a little more interesting.

This year, my friend decided to name everyone on the Line, and we're got about half done.
Me: Sparkles- I think it's kind of lame, but i used sparkly ribbon for my chart book, and it rubs off on my neck.
Snare1: Firenze, because he grew a beard, and got his wisdom teeth out, so he looked like a centaur.
Snare2: Hoe. Or Rimshot hoe. Because we love him, and we call each other hoskank and stuff like that. Also, he is constantly playing rimshots, most unnecessarily.
Snare3: A naughty word that rhymes with his name, Mitch. Cause we just feel like it.
Quad1: Big D. Kind of adding to the HarryPotter set. His name is Dustin, and he's really skinny, so it's ironic.
Bass1: Buble/Bubble. She was talking about why buble (as in michael) isn't pronounced like bubble, but then we pointed out that it would more likely be said like booblay. Plus she has a serious bubble butt.
Bass2: Samurai, maybe because he's kind of tall and ninja-like and he is quite stealthy.
We're still working on the rest of the Line..

My nickname is Lil Egger, because the band director is Mr. Egger, and also my dad. We call one of the tuba's white boy. Yet, I'm just as white as him.

A saxophone player Im next to in drill decided to make a nickname for me (my names Emily) and came up with "Milly". Another mello's (Amy's) nickname is Ames, so he changed "Milly" to "Mills". A trumpet player suggested that "Mills" be switched to "General Mills" (as in the cereal). This began a discussion among 4 other bandies, not including myself, on which General Mills character I might be. The conclusions: 1. Crackle the Rice Krispies elf is not female. 2. Yet another mellophone player, Riley, is Lucky the Leprechaun 3. The General Mills cereal company has created no female cereal box mascotts. 4. I therefore must be the only female character they could come up with, Aunt Jemima (As in the syrup not created by General Mills)
Thats probably more a result of heat exhaustion than it was a permanent nickname for me, though.
Other nicknames: McGuiver (the drumline helper), Gonzo, JohnnyO, KP, Miss Yvonne (the mello sectionals teacher), dark meat (Alexis the bariton player), Rie-Dogg (Riley's fake gangsta name) Em See Keever (the bd), Mark Depotakis (to rhyme with Spartacus- the assistant BD)

^ KP is the least of my worries. I think that spawned from people being to lazy to say my first name. The Three Lunged Fwa Monster is much cooler; so is The Verifier. I may have to call you Aunt Jemima from now on, though.

Our entire battery and pit has nicknames. Most people know what their nick names are too, but I don't remember many...
Let's see what I can remember: Lucy, Maverick, Cookie...yeah, that's it. xD
And then one of the color guard girls is Sparkle.

Drummer: Reverand (last name) Guitar: Johnny Greenstock Bass: Bass Face Piano: Twinklefingers

In ours, you're practically a misfit if you don't have a nickanme.
Our rifle line all has "bear" added to their names. Kaybear, Jerrbear, etc.
I go by Puff from my extremely large hair.
the list goes on and on....srsly.
And the whole band adopted Beast as all our nickname. Spray-painted the hallways and everything with it.
