So, this either belongs here, or in general discussion. I wasn't sure where because it has a little to do with music... In an odd way... So Mods, if this is in the wrong place feel free to move it somewhere better suited.

Anyways, we all have our own jokes that go around in our marching bands. What are some that go around your band?


You know your in my band if:

1) There is an Alto Sax player that uses the term "Sax Appeal" on a regular basis (That would be me).

2) You band instructor doubles as the weather man (He's always checking weather bug on his phone, so you ask him before anybody else for the weather).

3) If one of the new staff members can play two Trumpets at the same time.

4) The definition of "Gush & GO!" is: Sit down and drink water for 2 minutes because your not gonna get anymore drinks for a few hours.

5) When you sing songs from classic Disney movies on the bus for competitions

6) When your band instructor sometimes talks in a Scottish accent to loosen you up before a performance

7) When "1 more time" actually means 15 more times.

8) The term "Armed guards" to you, used to mean scary looking men in suits with weapons. But it now means a handful of girls spinning poles.

9) The only freshman who's names you know are the ones that did marching band, you could really care less about the others

10) When you hear "Bad Romance", it is usually coming from a combination of Flutes, Trumpet, and Tenor Sax, rather than an iPod speaker or a radio


I have more, but I can't think of them right now so I will post them at another time. What are some ones that you guys have going around your band, or that you've heard somewhere else?
