Mellophone: Brass instrument similar in construction to a trumpet, although similar in tone to a French Horn, typically used in marching bands. Also refers to the players of such instruments, who can be moody, tempermental, and play extremely loudly when annoyed or angered, rivaling the volume of a trumpet. Also, the most unloved instrument in band outside woodwinds (especially the low ones) unless they are only numbering one for their entire section.
Yeah, I just BS'ed half of that XP

Flag- The bane of all band members who come within a 10ft radius.
Caffeine- Beverage absolutely necessary to maintain sanity and consciousness on long band trips
Piccolo- an instrument that is assigned to those that no one wants to hear play. WARNING biggrin O NOT PLAY AROUND DOGS
Percussionist- One of the many people who mistakenly joined band because they wanted to avoid physical activity.
Dynamics- Strange markings on the sheet music whose meanings has been lost to the passages of time
"Do me"- The phrase used to indicate to a band member's peer that they need help buttoning up their uniform.
Equipment manager- The band student who is so hopelessly devoted to band that they submit to loading and unloading band equipment on every trip. They may say they don't care about being acknowledged, but in reality, thats all the do it for.
End-of-the-year trip- A big trip at the end of the year. Usually spans a few days and includes only moderate supervision. Sometimes the only reason most people stay in band.

bad oboeist=a duck
sight reading=a possible form of torture when the song is taken over the tempo it's supposed to be played at. Otherwise can be quite pleasant.

Kumo-Chan 11 What's with everyone bashing the piccolos?? Well...there are a few issues... Depending on the skill of the player they can be okay... But only if there's just one... Remember, the moment any picolo plays out of tune in a multi-pic band, everyone has to drop their horns and cover their ears >.< And pics get out of tune easily; sneeze to hard and you go out of tune XD And getting them ticked off generally leads to a full-on ear assault, followed by a severe beating from the other members of the band who were within a mile of the incident >.< Really, it's just the bad ones and the ones that just need to kill the others in their section to make it ok that we're bashing... And, yes, one of my best sand friends plays flute and pic... XD Yup *quack*

Band director's trombone: ocassionally called a duck by the stupider band members; you will get killed by a very irate trombone-playing Mr. Hartmetz if you knock it over and/or dent it.
Oboes/clarinets = black flutes, according to Mr. H.
(One clarinet player thought he was serious and said 'But we're clarinets! D:' XDDDD)

Forte: the sound that everyone does when you're supposed to be piano (ex: Yo, dude! we can't hear you! you must not be playing forte!)
Piano: the sound that nobody wants to play, because they can't be heard over everyone else (ex: Dude!!! You're weak! You must be playing piano, because the flutes are louder than you!)

tuba /tu-ba/ n 1: an instrument that should not be played by small people. 2: the section of the band which non band people are afraid of.
band /band/ n : the class that all the Elementary school kids can't wait to take in fourth grade, then quit in Junior High because it's "uncool", but once High School comes around, they try to re-join because suddenly, all the kids are doing it and they feel left out.
