Elmo Blatch Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Doug Thrower--after hearing a couple horns blare their parts in ensemble rehearsal, "baritones, save it for prom." Visual tech--"if you are going to suck, be consistent at it. We can fix consistent, good or bad." "Baritones, the trees on the horizon aren't bouncing, you are." "We have the best package and staff in the Top 12 this year." (I wonder how many times per year this is said) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjw5168 Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 "Could we try sounding a little less autistic and more like a drum corps?" - so harsh, but it got the hornline's attention... "_______, your parents aren't going to be sitting in the end zone. Point your bell to the #%*^ BOX!!" "_______, you were so far behind on that rep that I thought you were doing work from the previous song. We're done with the opener, try to catch up with the rest of us." "If I had a baby with me, I'd toss it on the field right now. That was awesome!! Now reset and do it again!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrillmanSop06 Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 My favorite one:1997- Council Bluffs Iowa- First stop on first tour and first rehearsal on tour. Jason Buckigham to struggling Sopranos: (Me included) "There's no way you can play that any worse Sopranos." "In fact, you're NOT SOPRANOS, YOU'RE TRUMPETS!!!" "TAKE A LAP TRUMPETS!!" So we get back to horn arc and play passage again, and Buckingham says "You gotta be kidding me, you're still not Sopranos, TAKE ANOTHER LAP TRUMPETS!!!!" We get back to horn arc and he says: "I'm not even gonna listen to you play it, just keep RUNNING TRUMPETS!!!! Mearly mile later we got to rejoin rehearsal. Of course now adays being called a trumpet doesn't have the same meaning, but we got the point. Jason had a lot of great one liners that I cannot repeat but he always made it fun!! Wes Perkins BK '97 '98 Amen! Though I never said a thing, Jason pretty much made my entire summer. Would've been very different without him. Will be very different this winter, I'm sure. So much hilarity yet so very inspiring, I gotta say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
