I make no assumptions.

Also, we weren't a military-style marching band, but there were about 380 of us, so that has to count for something, right? *giggles*

Just that the innuendo that drummers are always faced with would be so bad for them

innuendo was one of the pastimes for our drum line AND low brass. the two most immature sections in the entire band. yay for immaturity.

One of my best friends (she's a girl) is the bass drummer in a marching band.

I was more referring to the fact that a lot of jokes can be (and are, way too often) made about drummers themselves!

Did anyone else's flute section have a strange fascination with stickers?

yehoshua · Post by **yehoshua** » Tue Jul 12, 2011 1:07 pm

Can't say, there's no band at my school.

I have so, so many funny stories based around just that. And it kills me that I can't tell any of them here. XD

So the trumpet section leader last year had this chicken hat, alright, and *shot*

I played baritone; there were seven of us in my grade. Low brass is awesome. *giggles*

Coatl_Ruu · Post by **Coatl_Ruu** » Tue Jul 12, 2011 1:21 pm

Low brass!

Hoo-ah!

Someone at band camp made a slogan than encompassed the whole brass section, but it doesn't really work censored. :3

But French Horns get the cool stuff

and the off-beats ¬_¬
CURSE YOU SOUSA!!!

Psh, Trombones are the best. We're the... most awesome ones.
YEAH.

Fun Fact: I'm an Ex-Trombone player.

Post by **Dissension** » Tue Jul 12, 2011 1:27 pm

There were only three French horn players in our band, so we ended up playing a lot of their parts.

Coatl_Ruu · Post by **Coatl_Ruu** » Tue Jul 12, 2011 1:29 pm

I think this calls for some band humor...

- How do you make a trumpet sound like a french horn?
- You stick your hand in the bell and play wrong notes.

Sorry Obbl! don't hurt me. o_o SELF DEPRECATION POWERS ACTIVATE.

- Why does a trumpet have three valves?
- Because trumpet players can't count to four.

I would dispute that. =P

Although trombone suicides look pretty cool. Until someone gets whacked in the face XD

my band separated the Sousaphones, bass clarinet, and bari sax into a section we dubbed "heavy metal" and our section shirts had a musical note with a Skull.

the Trumpets in my band took all the good slogans. they had "Trumpets! assemble!"(like the avengers) "Trumpets! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"(like thundercats, with the section leader yelling trumpets and the rest of the section responding with the hoooooooooooo!) and "we fight with knives and 45s and broken bottles too. we are the mighty trumpet section who the heck are you?"

Bass Clarinets are totally metal.

I know. we were mainly named for us Sousaphones.

Alright, that is pretty awesome. Our section leader last year (the one with the chicken hat) probably would have liked those. I mean, he did refer to himself as the "Supreme Cobra Commander of the trumpet section" X3

Definitely better than "Brass kicks *shot a third time* =P

I think that's the obvious way to go with a Brass slogan.

a couple years ago, the sax section had a shirt with the evolution chart followed by a sax player bending backwards, saying that sax players were the next step in evolution.

Well, there was a bass clarinet solo in Muse's I Belong to You. Not quite metal, but still.

While processing my registration for a re-installed program just a minute ago, the installation window happened to read "requesting cookie". I know what it means, but I still found it amusing

I don't quite see how it works in context, but it certainly is catchy
