Well, I'm in the marching band at my school, and the joke is that you can't die for the sole reason that there would be a empty spot in the formation...hee hee, band humor

Oh band jokes. My director once told us the only reason one of us should miss rehearsal was ifone f us was hit by a car, and one day an alto sax (my section) actually WAS hit by one. When he asked why the alto was gone, we told him and his reaction was this. "Well that's still no excuse!"
We were all torn about whether to crack a joke or simply marval at the few things that actually would make a good excuse....

lol, my band would kick me as they pass (you cant STOP to point out i'm dead, silly)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
depending on the section and velocity of the tempo, it may be fatal to stop XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i'm in drumline (in the middle of the basses) it would be VERY bad to stop
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ha ha, I was a mello player, and for part of our show two years ago we had an oblique pass through GOING BACKWARDS between percussion....stopping would result in utter catastrophe o.o

sounds like it (cause i dont think drumline would stop)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, no they didn't. The move involved the brass back marching at a 45 degree angle (while still facing front) and the percussion moving forward in a straight line passing through us. There was one time the percussion section began moving a bit too soon after the hold, my entire section got snares in the ass XD

somehow, drumline thinks YOU will move, even if you cant see...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yup, but the motto of our drumline "if you hit them, they must have been wrong" XD most of the time it's true, they work their tails off!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
our motto is more along the lines of 'if you hit them...good for you! run there @$$'s over!!!!'

and our low brass eats babies x)

hell yes! better than the wood suckers at any rate XD
*means no offense to woodwinds* lol

lol 'woodsuckers' in band, no one really like the trumpets (they may like the people IN trumpets but...)
i thinks its bacause they can play better
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
trumpets from around the band world have the same bravado it seems: "LOUD IZ DA BEST IN THE W0RLD GUYZ!" ha ha. I can say that with certainty, having befriended two trumpets XD

lol, one of the trupmets (Reiley) was part of this little group that always seems to be loud and generally leading band junk. it was made up of him, a tuba player, some other low brass, percission section leader, and my older brother
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol, what did your older brother play? It seems like a kick-ass group of brass and percussion!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
trumpet x) him and his friend were kind of sort of ledgends with band crap. they graduated last year (and, ironically enough, my brother's friends has a sister, also in band, who i met and now WE'RE best friends and in all of the same class, just like our brothers)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ah ha ha! That's kinda what happened in our band too. My boyfriend and I met through band (both in the mello section). My brother and his brother both joined a year or so after we did, and now their best pals since my class graduated XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol, its so weird for me, cause for a while some of the seniors would ask 'o hey, you're will's sister?' and i'm like '....yea' -_-
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol. My little bro and I were similar, but he's a buff very athletic and outgoing social butterfly, whereas I'm more the silent fly-on-the-wall nerd, but as soon as they saw the two of us together they were like OMG IT ALL MAKES SENSE!
We had a lot of band member "Royalty" coming from a town like Rosemount MN, there are more siblings, so you could have several classes of brothers and sisters go through
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
our band 'royalty' (aka, people who get into shenanigans) is my brother and his friends
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol, I was talking more sibling reigns than legendary trouble makers XD My brother and his friends started a tradition with the low reeds to dress in outlandish snow gear the first time of the year our band director says "dress for the weather" It happens every year, the last year with the band one of them wore a neon orange jumpsuit, my brother in snowboarding gear, the whole section wore snowboarding goggles. It was a balmy 55 degrees and sunny X'D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i wouldn't do that because in the summer it'd probably be....oh about 70 degrees
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, that's kinda the same for us, they pulled that stunt later in the season when it was colder

-w- your welcome ^_^

The other day, I had a hole on either side of me. It was HORRIBLE! O.O
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
guh! I know that feeling, it's like "who do I dress to now?!" For a show once we had 3 people sick and they were all in an arc right next to each other, so me and another mello had to make it look like we were supposed to be stranded in the middle of nowhere XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Eww, that sucks >.< I hate being stranded, haha.

Haaha, ooh band humor. Good stuff. XP There's actually been a lot of talk about gaps in our band this year...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you. Yeah, gaps are always a problem, wherever your from. What band do you hail from? I was in the Rosemount Fighting Irish Marching band from MN ^^

I'm in my high school marching band, Heritage Marching Hawks, in MI. ^^

We've had a similar problem, but our band member didn't die, she broke her ankle. So we had to fix the BIG gap.
