| 1. Number your music
2. Use pencil as instrument and play all the music 3. Hum marching band field show 4. Get band people from the other side of the room to join in with their respective parts 5. Whenever a teacher says �Here�s the deal�� shout with no reserve, �WHAT�S THE DEAL?!� (probably something only at my highschool, whenever director says here�s the deal guys, we shout back what�s the deal) 6. When going to the teacher�s desk to turn something in, use appropriate flanks to get there. Even if it�s a straight line. 7. Comment that the overhead fan sounds flat/sharp as appropriate 8. Desk=drum set 9. In history, ask why we never talk about the music of ancient cultures. Especially cave people music. 10. Sing the answer when called on 11. Write your answers in musical form. Example--to write the word �cat�, you would draw a musical staff, write the note for �c�, �a� and for �t�, umm, you could do a staccato mark for the short �te� sound. 12. Mark time in your seat 13. Help the teacher out by calling the class to attention when they get too chatty. 14. Skip the class and go to band room 15. Take out your instrument and hold it. Tell your teacher it helps you think clearly 16. Build a coffin for your torn up reeds out of pencils. Ask if you can go outside and bury it 17. Bring portable vhs/dvd player to watch tapes of marching band competitions. Cry. 18. Bring in a tape player to listen to judge�s tapes. Cry if he mentions your section in a negative way. 19. Raise your hand, wait until called on, and then launch into a story from band camp. Somehow tie it in to whatever the lesson is on. 20. Compose a symphony on a worksheet, then say you can�t turn in said worksheet because it�s such a wonderful composition you have to hear it in band class. 21. If there is at least 1 orchestra, band, and chorus person in the room, hold a debate about which is better (duh, band) 22. Get everyone�s lunch, drink all the water bottles til they are of varying emptiness, then play a song, by blowing across the top. 23. Point out in works of literature when a metaphor could be referring to an instrument. �never quite together, just like�� could be flutes 24. Comment that the bell sounds flat (it actually does to me) 25. Sing �daaa da da da da da da daaa da da da da da da daaa.� Tell teacher you�re studying for a scales test. |
