Just share your stories about your drumline "family", whether they are funny, serious, or whatever. Funny stories are preferred though.
Here is my first story:
We were loading our stuff back into the band hall after our Christmas concert, so there was stuff everywhere. Just after we had put the concert bass on its stand, some of the guys were troughhousing a bit. Next thing we knew, the concert bass was kamikazeing quite literally across the band hall. It landed right on one of the accsesorie stands and got a huge dent in the head.(Im amazed it didnt break).

Once during marching season, we brought back our last years drum feature and played it for the other side at a home game. It was pretty awesome. They cheered way more than they cheered for anything else that game, including the football game.

we were at the winter concert, and i played one of the snares in it.We didn't have enough stands so we borrowed a stand from a saxophone player.And we had to do this holiday melody,where we play 3 songs without stopping,and beginning the secong song,i hit the rim....a little too hard.......and the stand broke in the middle of the stage, but i managed to grab it before it fell.

Once during a concert, our school played our program after another school did theirs. The percussion before us had left their music on the stands, and we got confused and started playing one of their songs when our director started us...

The freshman on the line is a complete retard. hes annoying and trys to be funny but isnt and thinks hes all that cuz hes on the line. ok. so now we know the villan of the story.
I play Crash cymbals on my line, and had just gotten BRAND NEW Zildjian cymbals and this kid STEPPED ON THEM! they weren't even on the ground!
one of them popped (turned inside out) so we had to get like 5 people to help fix it, and there is now a dent on the bell of the cymbal. well, needless to say i was PISSED. so i was yelling at him, and he decided to back talk me, so i slapped him. well, the Capitan of the line had noticed by then, so he broke it up, told the freshman to go back to where he was supposed to be (by that time we were getting in line to march out for field show) and apparently he wouldn't get in line and kept talking about how stupid it was that i was mad at him, so the first tenner player was yelling at him to get in line and shut up, well he wouldn't so she punched him in the face! and yelled "Get in line!"
she is a very commanding person... he did what he was told after that.
twisted blaugh twisted
there are three girls on our drumline, and during our winter concert the drumline preformed, at the end everyone on the line instead of bowing was like *woot* then me and the other two girls walked to the fount of the stage, curtsied, and went back stage with the rest of the drummers. everybody laughed and our director was like "bed you didn't know such ladylike girls could make that kind of sound"
was great. good fun. heart

What to say about my percussion family... we have an entire family tree its rediculous. im gonna explain it as best i can. Here we go:
It starts off with me i guess. I am Jimmy Christ (Snare Drum). I have a long lost brother, Jesus Christ (Quints when he was a seinor). Our mother is the same, The Not So Virgin Mary (Bass Drum, she has recently quit band. Loser). My father is God (Snare drum before he graduated). Jesus'father is some random guy The Not So Virgin Mary met one very drunk night in Vegas (Guitar Rythym section). They are still together. Then there is Drunken Uncle Suzy (Cymbal b***h, also quit. Loser) I maybe missing some other people but that is wat i can remember at the moment off the top of my head.
Other percussion family members include:
Bass Drum Billy (wonder wat he played? Snare drum)
SEAMOOSE (Drum Set) Now SEAMOOSE can be identified from many characteristics.. MOHAWK.
Dan Dan (Snare Drum)
Timo (Guitar) not a prcussionist but still part of the family.
New Percussionists include:
Courtney (My Ex... Snare drum)
Kristy (My Soon to be Ex... Snare Drum)
Matty R (Bass Drum, ugh)
Kevin the Marathon man (Snare Drum)
Alisha more trouble than shes worth (New Cymbal b***h, ******** gorgeous my i add)
Halie (Bass Guitar) Gotta throw her in there for Timo
Well thats it god that took forever. lol

At our winter concert of 08, I was playing a particularly easy marimba part. just, for some reason I had been having trouble with the timing, so when I get up there, I start playing, and I play, we bow, end of story.
well, I found out, that after the concert was over, our entire clarinet, half the flutes, and our basoon player had said that they had lost their place, so they followed my playing instead. As you can guess, I was a little shocked after that, because that song had done far better than we had ever done in practice. sweatdrop

First off: We have this one cadence where we play through it then yell "bacon", then we repeat it then yell "jam". Strange things to yell, I know, but we are just that cool.
During summer band camp at the school not this past summer but the one before that, my drumline family broke off from the rest of the band while they were practicing marching to go have a cadence jam session. We were playing throught the cadence I told you about earlier, but instead of "bacon" and "jam", we were yelling all sorts of other things (things i couldnt say on gaia, if you catch my drift). We must have been yelling pretty loud, because our percussion instructor (who was outside with the people that were marching at the time) came over. Luckily, he is pretty cool. He was laughing so hard and telling us how horrible we are. It was the best day of that whole summer. biggrin

stories....so fun....
i got dry humped by our new section leader last year at the Homecoming game (before he was section leader) since the last one went to Propel Percussion instead of sticking with us through his final Winter Season....
two of our line have knee problems, who were both on bass during fall season this year along with me and one of the freshmen, so half the shows were just me and the freshman marching.... he didnt kno half his music and would always screw around....at least hes gettin better now tho.... we dont have to call him "noob" anymore : P
one our old snare players, Delaney (whos been dating the guy who dry humped me on and off for the past couple years), owns a truck and during practice one day a car alarm was goin off but we didnt kno who's it was so she just pulled out her keys and turned it off....so random it was funny....she left us for colorguard this winter season tho...her senior year

We do a lot of preformances in our theatre.
Our theatre has two curtains.
During rehersal when the conductor is focusing on our retarded clarinets, my friend and I sneak backstage and play mission impossible
YAY
Also
I was doing a REALLY hard snare peice
and in the middle of my solo (Rehersal(Phew)) my stick flew out of my hand and into the trophy shelf.
Luckily, nothing was broken.

ok so heres just one of MANY storys from my family!! there are three girls in our drumline 2 are freshman me and my best friend and 1 is a junior who's really cool!! so the guys sometimes sy stuff that is funny but kinda mean. so the freshman girls planned on the last day of indoor drumline plasing tampons and pads all over the seniors drums we plan on putting red food coloring on them just to freak the guys out and the blam everything on the woodwinds so we can get away with it!!
and some that already happen!!
so our drumline is like family REALLY we r always with each other anyway we are always joking around with each other and so one time at band camp...we were screwing off and 1 of our seniors was blind folded and we led him to where all the goodygoody too shoes where chillen along with the bd and he though it was the freshman that where in the line so he has this thing with mooning people if u get where i'm going!! so he pulls down his pants and my bd is standing there with his mouth wide open and then he screams HOLY s**t REALLY LOUD everyone started laughing it was great he got in so much trouble
New Story!
bus rides on the drumline bus are great great preverted conersations everytime. the the guy from the last story (russ) was sittin in the back off the bus (drumline always sits in the back) talking about some "hot" girl and so on with the convo. brad a lil man gets the idea that they should moon the ppl following the bus but russ did not want to do it idk y not tho! but he told brad to do it so brad pulls down his pants and moons the hell out of these ppl following us...later to find out it was that"hot" girl russ and all the other guys where talkin about earlier. so then they where searching the bus for paper to rite that they were sorry so the only paper i had was my hw but i was not thinking and i gave it to him and on the back he wrote in huge letters I'M SORRY FOR THE BEAUTIFUL VIEW!! then he held it up to the window and they flipped him off so russ flipped the paper MY HOMEWORK over and writes no we really are sorry all over it they started laughing in their car and so did we until our bd came to that back of the bus cuz some flute player told on the drumline
bad idea!!
but don't worry we got them back!!
(payback is a b***h!)
another story for another day

well, my pit instructor had put some clips of himself saying random things on the sampler, and when we were rehearsing, the girl who plays the samplers accidentally pressed a wrong button, and instead of the sound it was supposed to make, there was this really loud "oh yeah" coming from the speakers. XD
everyone started cracking up.
