  • Right one time we were rehearsing and our director was standing up on the podium thing and he random yelled"WOAH YA PUPPIES BAAAMMMM!"

  • [size=8]My director yells a lot. He's this really grumpy old guy who looks like a tortoise and he screams at us to be quiet when nobody's talking. And one time this kid was leaning back in his chair to look at the clock and the teacher started ranting at him about how he needed to get more sleep at night because he was evidently falling asleep in class (he misuses the word evidently a lot).


    He's realllly annoying I'm so glad I'm going to a different school next year xD

  • our band director became the assistant principle and we got stuck with this first time teacher who takes all the fun out of band

  • It sounds like your instructor is goofy, treble clef.


    Your instructor sounds like mine blacky, only he is more grumpy and he pushes us. He only does what's best. My instructo can be funny to. One of his quotes was 'pissed off for greatness.'

  • [size=8]My director's been a band teacher for like 25 years or something like that. I know because every time he conducts a rhythm wrong and we try to tell him about it he's like "I'VE BEEN PLAYING FOR 40 YEARS, TEACHIN' FOR 25. YOU'VE BEEN PLAYIN' FOR 2 OR 3. I'M SORRY, YOU MUST KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THE INSTRUMENT. YOU CAN COME TEACH THE CLASS."


    Trust me Tigress, mine's pretty grumpy too x3

  • [size=8]He pretty much is grumpy all the time. x3 He rarely attempts to make jokes, when he does they make no sense. xD Whenever one of us tries to make a joke he usually just yells at us to stop talking or threatens to send us to the office.


    It's actually kind of funny when he gets really mad because his face gets all red and he starts talking really fast and stuttering over words and he runs out of breath while he's talking xP


    But yeah he sucks the life out of us

  • My director one time when he was conducting accidentally flung his baton across the room! And he teases my one friend (who plays clarinet.) about her height. :)

  • [size=8]Me and my friend like to joke that we could sue our director for taking away our first amendment right to the freedom of speech because every time anyone opens their mouth it's like "WHY ARE YOU TALKING WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOU NEED TO HEAR THIS INSTRUCTION I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU WHAT TO DO I GUESS I NEED TO MAKE A PHONE CALL HOME"

  • [size=8]My director puts the tip of the baton in his mouth sometimes.


    That thing is like taboo to us.


    Once he dropped it and a kid picked it up and gave it to him and we were all grossing out because HE TOUCHED THE TIP THAT WAS IN THE DIRECTOR'S MOUTH EEWWWW
