ddmwingz Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 well since someone already broke the R-rated joke virginity... A girl went out on a date with a trumpet player, and when she came back her roomate asked, "Well, how was it? Did his embouchure make him a great kisser?" "Nah" the first girl replied. "That dry, tight, tiny pinched up mouth; it was no fun at all." The next night she went out with a tuba player, and when she came back her roomate asked "Well, was he a good kisser?" "Ugh!" the first girl exclaimed. "Those huge rubbery, blubbery, slobbering lips! Oh, it was just gross!" The next night she went out with a french horn player, and when she came back the roommate asked, "Well, how was his kissing?" "Well," the first girl replied, "his kissing was just so-so; but i loved the way he held me!" Quote

bass~beetch Posted October 1, 2007 Author Posted October 1, 2007 Whoo i would not suggest this.............. A PLAYER'S GUIDE FOR KEEPING CONDUCTORS IN LINE 1. Never be satisfied with the tuning note. Fussing about the pitch takes attention away from the podium and puts it on you, where it belongs. 2. When raising the music stand, be sure the top comes off and spills the music on the floor. 3. Complain about the temperature of the rehearsal room, the lighting, crowded space, or a draft. It's best to do this when the conductor is under pressure. 4. Look the other way just before cues. 5. Never have the proper mute. 6. Ask for a seating change. Ask often. Give the impression you're about to quit. Let the conductor know you're there as a personal favor. 7. Brass players : Drop mutes at every opportunity. 8. Loudly blow water from keys or spit valves during pauses. 9. Long after a passage has gone by, ask the conductor if your C# was in tune. This is especially effective if you had no C# or were not playing at the time. (If he catches you, pretend to be correcting a note in your part.) 10. At dramatic moments in the music (while the conductor is emoting) be busy marking your music so that the climaxes will sound empty and disappointing. 11. Wait until well into a rehearsal before letting the conductor know you don't have the music. 12. Look at your watch frequently. Shake it in disbelief occasionally. 13. Tell the conductor, "I can't find the beat." Conductors are always sensitive about their "stick technique," so challenge them frequently. 14. Ask the conductor if he has listened to the Bernstein recording of the piece. Imply that he could learn a thing or two from it. Also ask, "Is this the first time you've conducted this piece?" 15. When rehearsing a difficult passage, screw up your face and shake your head indicating that you'll never be able to play it. Don't say anything: make him wonder. 16. If your articulation differs from that of others playing the same phrase, stick to your guns. Do not ask the conductor which is correct until backstage just before the concert. 17. Find an excuse to leave the rehearsal about 15 minutes early so that the others will become restless and start to pack up and fidget. 18. During applause, smile weakly or show no expression at all. Better yet, nonchalantly put away your instrument. Make the conductor feel he is keeping you from doing something really important. Quote

Ask him to play in 4/4 at a steady 120 bpm. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If thine enemy wrong thee, buy each of his children a drum. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I asked my drummer to spell "Mississippi"... He said, "the river or the state?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ How do you know if a drummer's platform is level? The drool comes out of both sides of his mouth. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ How do trumpet players park in the handicap spots? They put drumsticks on the dash. Quote
bass~beetch Posted October 1, 2007 Author Posted October 1, 2007 Top 10 Ways To Piss Off Your Drum Major 10. Listen intently to her/his instructions. Do exactly the opposite. Insist that that was what s/he said to begin with. 9. Empty spit exactly in the spot where s/he steps down from the podium. Get the entire brass section to do this. Often. 8. Harass the cheerleaders. Blame the comments on the drum major. 7. Invent your own tempo. Stick to your guns, no matter how big her/his beats are or how much s/he glares at you, then... 6. "Confess" to your band director that you just can't follow such bad conducting and obscured beats. 5. Drop vital instrument parts during drill (this includes bells, foot joints, slides, etc.). 4. Wait until s/he's just finished an hour of basics reviewing. "Forget" to step off on your left foot. Repeatedly. 3. Whenever you see her/him trying to find her/his tempo, immediately start singing, playing, or tapping your foot loudly and out of tempo. Annoyingly infectious songs or songs in a completely different meter are especially effective. 2. Wait until the busses have left before looking surprised and announcing loudly, "No one told us to take our uniforms off the bus, too!" or "You mean they aren't coming back to unload the instruments?!" NOTE: the above are best performed by at least three people for maximum chaos. 1. In your sweetest and most respectful voice, ask her/him, "As God, why can't you make our team win a game?" Look serious. Expect an answer. Wait for one. Quote

Keyboard_Countessa Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 Yay for band jokes! Here's a few of my favorites: How many drummers does it take to change a lightbulb? "Dude... is it dark in here?!?" --- What's the difference between a bassoon and a trampoline? You take your shoes off before jumping on a trampoline. --- What's the difference between an oboe and an onion? You cry when you chop up an onion. --- How can you tell which kids on the playground are the children of trombone players? They can't swing and they don't know how to use the slide. --- One day little Timmy told his mother, "I'm gonna be a trumpet player when I grow up!" His mother said, "But honey, you can't do both." --- What's the difference between a flutist and a seamstress? The seamstress says, "Tuck the frills." (Switch the T and the F to see what the flutist says ) Quote
