Suckish: adj: when your band member gives you a new piece of music and you when you start to site read, it's hard to play, or your part is way easy than from everyone elses in the whole band room, and you want to rip it up and burn it.
most annoyingest: when you shout your band teacher's name dozens of times and he/she does not or does not want to hear you.
Cork grease: that stuff that looks like chap stick that is applicated to any piece of cork on your instument and makes it easier to put together your instument....can also be replaced, (although not recommended) with chap stick razz (ha ha ha I did that before and I almost got in trouble)

"I'm really sorry about your hand"
"Okay, we need to play that bit a little quiter": "Tylar, do please stop banging those drums so loud! I can't hear the sax!" (The drummer in my band, Tylar, plays the drums really loud...it can be really annoying when our instruments are turned down)
"Next time you want to hit me, use a baseball bat or a crowbar, okay?"
- Jacob Black, Eclipse

Shuffle Step: The act of trying to regain sync with fellow band members while marching - Result is usually bumping the person in front of you causing the whole line to stumble and thus the whole band having to stop and start again, or tripping and falling face first into the ground while trying to save your instrument.

TUBA: the ultimate death machine of the band. Whether by deafening or blugeoning, it is a force to be reckoned with.
BASS CLARINET: the tuba-wannabe of the woodwinds. They have very similar parts, but fall short of tuba magic.

Marching band: A group of individuals who wander around on a football field pretending to follow a drum major, while making noise that vaguely resembles overplayed songs.
Concert band: A group of individuals who play music forced upon them, complain about their parts, and put on poorly attended concerts in the winter and spring. Usually play at a decent or good level, however, and are magically capable of turning sound into music.
Trombonist: An individual of a slightly higher perversion level than the average human. You can recognize a trombonist by the fact that their right arm is usually longer than their left, they usually have really poor taste in humor, and speak loudly or obnoxiously.
Trumpet player: An individual who always likes to out-yell, out-shine, or out-play all other in their general area, but succeeds only in sounding obnoxiously loud. See blaring.
Flautist: Rather loopy individuals with temporary vanity complexes, prone to flighty moods, and the tendency to slouch to the right when sitting.
Drummer: An individual who is assigned the task of keeping the band in tempo, but can't keep time him(or her)self. He or she usually tends to speed up when excited by the increasing volume of the group. Incapable of looking at a director.
Tubas: Queer folk. xD

Cadence - The optional beat to follow while marching;assigned to the percussion section to make them feel like they serve a purpose; Most of the time the cadence is only to cover the mistakes of the other instruments and attempt to prevent the shuffle step (see def)

baton: long pointy object that a BD uses to try to keep the band together. (It only works sometimes) ALSO: what everyone wants to shove up the percussion's nose when they speed up. xd
