Bass flute: n. An absolutely amazing flute that plays an octave below the C flute, and for which many dedicated flute players would gladly sell their soul.
Piccolo: n. The power to burst eardrums, causes hearing loss for the player and anyone close to them. Also an excellent pea-shooter (the Nerds candy makes excellent ammo. biggrin )
Poison darts: What the piccolo players shoot out of their piccolos to murder people with, generally the clarinets who are NEVER in their sets and the bandwhore who won't stop making out with his girlfriend.

BOBO: Person who can't play or do anything right; Have the risk of a shoe being thrown at them by the BD XP BE QUIET: You can talk if nobody catches you. CLARINET: A giant p***s that sqeaks SHUT UP: If you make any type of noise you will be dragged out into the street and beat with a large blunt object by every other member of the band until you are a bloody corpse. INSTRUCTOR: Someone payed to tell you when you screw up. BAND ORGY: When a group of band members huddle together for "warmth". This is very prone to happen late in marching season. Got some of these off a site, but the Clarinet and Bobo one is mine (Our BD called us Bobos, and said he'll throw a shoe at us, of course with love X3!)

Safety Circle: Most often occurs in small group of bandmates (approx. 4-9), in which this group huddles around each other in the pool of a hosting hotel and makes loud police siren noises, yells of RAPE, etc.
Chimes Mallet: Hard. Used for striking the brass tubes of the chimes to make a melodious sound... But more often used to strike Joshua Kahney over the head for failing at life.
Cortales: Not Mexican. And NOT "Like, uhmm them maracca thingies?"
Keyboard/Pit: The best.

dr. beat : 2. the device used by the directors to torture the band.
first chair: most annoying musician in the section, who think that they are always right.
section leader: the band directors pawns. they are used mainly during marching season to "control" their section. 2. powerhungry leaders who punish the section by running while they watch.

Free time- a rarity that the band director hardly ever gives.
Section rehearsals- time to play, learn, and say we did it (especially when learning to memorize new music).

Hand Checks- Used when a BD or DM thinks it would be fun to scare the crap out of band members.
Ride the Pony- game played with multiple bands to pass time. with chanting of this is how you ride the pony, this is how you ride the pony, this it how you ride the pony and this is how it goes. front, to front, to front now baby. back to back to back now now baby, side to side to side now baby. and this it how it goes. and repeats for as long as intended. accompanied by clapping, and crunk dancing in a huge circle.
