Leo the Lamb Freshman (AKA 'Fresh Meat'): A new person in marching band that is then claimed to be the Whore of a Senior member. Also fetches items for said senior. This is true. I fetch valve oil for my senior all the time. =3

Tubadude- The shortest tuba player. Ex:"Tubadude could fit in his case!"
Tubaguy- The medium height tuba player. (same for both genders)
Tubakid- ironic name for the tallest tuba player. Ex: "Hey tubakid! How's the weather up there?"
Band Class- The class in which the most "That's what HE said" jokes are made Ex: "Blow harder!" "GET THAT MOUTH PIECE ALL THE WAY IN YOUR MOUTH, ZACH!"
Bass Clarinet- apparently the hardest instrument to learn after playing clarinet for four years. Ex: "ZACH! ITS THE SAME FRICKEN FINGERING! SAME NOTES! YOU COULDN't EVEN GET THE CLARINET EMBOUCHURE RIGHT!"
Trombones- The Lonely Boys. Ex: "Our trombone section looks like the Lonely Boys!"
Precussion- BD's favorite section, even if they can't take direction, or even play slightly correctly.
Fussel Book-demonic book that the BD makes everyone buy, for no reason, since it is never used.
Scales-the patterns of music that you've played so much over your lifetime, you start fingering the scales in your sleep, or know exactly which scale another person is humming.
Band Trips- super fun trips to far off places, where you hardly play, and get to run around with your friends until someone gets mugged in downtown Indianopolis outside of a strip club.
Changing- something you have to get used to doing around other people of both sex in basically the open, or on the bus.
Bus- the most fun, uncomfortable, horrifying part of the band trip. Smart people get spots on the floor.
Contrabass Clarinet- Bass Clarinet's older brother that is too cool to play their music, but not yet cool enough to have it's own music. so, it plays tuba music.
Hawaii- the breathing practice woodwinds and brass had to learn in middle school, where you breathe in each syllable of Hawaii for four beats, hold it for four, and release all in for. After practicing this, most saxophones prefer to just Yell the word before playing.

Brodie- Our word for saying Gay "Man, your so Brodie!"
(Band Director is tired of the word gay being thrown around, so we use the name of a Bass Drummer. XD)
Contra- The things you do not even look at, or you die. Sacred instruments that our Band Director wasted alllllll of our moneys on. XD (He bought 5 Silver Contras last year, and this year we got to use them all! 5 Contras in a 2A Band!!! w00t whee )
Drop!- The word used to make an underclassmen do pushups, if they deny this, they do "Run" (Please see Run)
Run- The word used to command someone to Run around the Track around the Football Field, only really used if you forget something, get to practice late, or do not listen to the Drop! command.
Failure- Someone who doesnt show up to a practice, you are not supposed to miss one practice at all. Everyone usually follows this on their own, because we only practice about 3 times a week. And we are pretty good, so if you miss one of the ONLY practices you have, you are just a failure and should deserve to cry when you see our Band Director eat you.
One Job!- The command used when the Drum Major does something wrong that should have been done right. (This is yelled at the Drum Major)
Oh yeah. Keep these Definitions comingggg. biggrin
BTW, on my siggy is the Picture that was on our show shirt this year. Our show was Celestial Journies by Gary P. Gilroy. XP
Picture designed by Katie Lawrences. One of our Contras who is in Art 3 AP. Go Chica!!!!!!!!!!
