The Bannerband Jokes
November 24th, 2005
“Hey Paul, check your passport. I though you were Canadian, but I guess now you’re Rushin’”
“How do you make a trombone sound like a french horn? Stick your hand in the bell and miss every second note.”
“What’s the difference between a ‘57 Chevy and a Tenor Sax? You can tune a ‘57 Chevy”
“When Pierre goes to France, he’s Offenbach.”
“Keep your Papas to yourself” (Papa is a saxophonist)
“What did the drum kit say as it fell down the hill? Ba-doom chick”
“What do you get when you throw a piano down a mine shaft? A flat minor”
“Yukiko, I though you were Japanese but you’re wearing a Thai”
“Wow, Jason, your feet can touch the ground!”
“Laird looks like Harry Potter”
“Mark likes to march in the rain”
“Chapin smokes pot.”
“In music class, spit happens”
“Brendan, you’re playing so weakly that it sounds like you have Ahernia” (Brendan’s last name is Ahern)
“What did the Aliens say to Liszt? Take me to your Leider”
“Ana Costi? She’s a pick-up, you’ll find her hanging around the bar.”
I think I have chronicalled every single joke that my band director has said in the past for years. He repeats them a lot, using different variations.
But my personal favourite band joke, one that a senior player told me in my first year, one which he would never repeat, is:
“What’s the difference between a moose and a band? The moose has its horns in front and its ass at the back.”
