 The Pirate Song - The song everybody starts singing on long band trips.Always successful in driving the BD and all chaperons insane.When I was one,I sucked my thumb the day I went to sea.I climbed aboard a pirate ship the captain said to me "We're going this way that way forward and backward over the Irish sea,a bottle of coke to sooth my throat and that's the life for me!" Da na na na,Da na na na! Repeat with other ages until you arrive.
Never Have I Ever - Play only if you want to see your BD yell. whee

Early: (Adj) On time.
On time: (Adj) Late.
Late: (Adj) You're gonna be sorry.
Smear: (N) The hardest thing for a trombone to play in time. (At least in our band)
Solo: (N) The part of a song where director's pet gets to show off.
PPP: (N) a horrible dynamic. Usually upgraded to P or MP so the judges can at least hear you.
FFFFF: (N) A dynamic used mostly by trumpets in marching band.
Trumpet: (N) An instrument to be feared in marching band. To be heard, they believe they need to play at FFFFF. They do not care if they're right in front of the audience nor if it's right into someone's ear. (The worst experience of my freshman year)
Male Flute: (N) The subject of a debate between gay or smart.
Alternate: (N) The people who cannot march and play to save their life. Usually end up as equipment managers for the season. Have a chance to move up when seniors graduate. In rare cases, they become section leaders.
Contest/Festival: (N) The dreaded day that bands spend months preparing for. Something that has never gone wrong before will go wrong on this day. (At least in our band)
Flutes (in general): The quietest section of a marching band (voice-wise). The flutes, when given their own bus, bring snacks such as animal crackers or pretzels.
State Marching Contest: (N) The fleeting dream for many talented bands.
Area Marching Judges: (N) Biased people who let bands who have advanced to State Finals several times in the past go again.
Area: (N) The unfair grouping of bands in the same geographic region that sticks multiple top bands together and multiple weaker bands together. Leads to the State Marching Contest's array of talent-diverse bands, even though it's supposed to be the best bands in the state.

Concert- 1. a means of torture to both peformers and performees, where the instructors transform into hideous beasts days beforehand. A survivor later admits to have worn earplugs to help get rid of the nasty screeching of the beasts. 2. What the Nazis used to torture people who wouldn't join them.

Spit Valve- Something to play with. Never clean your spit valve in the middle of the period behind the flutes or you will regret it.

Mute sad n). 1. the object that makes the trumpet sound mildly softer at times and should be used in every peice except in marching. 2. Object that, if dropped during a concert, gives the band director his license to kill
