I was at a High School Band competition yesterday. I don't care for these things too much as it sort of reminds me of bad HS moments, yet my girlfriend used to be on color guard as has much better memories. It turned out really well though and I was so impressed with the music and showmanship from these different schools. One school band was able to pull off one of my favorites, "Reeling in the Years". A handful of bands also had keyboardists there, and it almost made me wish I was back in school since my parents were too poor for me to afford the sax in grade school, yet I got into synths later and was never able to be in school band. Anywhoo..
One school band from my hometown was so small compared to others, that we had a good laugh about it. My girlfriend proceeded to joke about the only clarinet player in the band, and was reenacting the kid telling his mom that he got in school band. I said "Yeah, I got first chair and last chair!". I said, "the group is so small they probably all went home on a short bus.." (as other bands had at least two large school buses to transport them).
The best part came in the form of Airgrams. Someone would pay this booth person a certain amount, the person would transfer these messages to the announcer and he would read them over the loudspeaker to the crowd. Usually they would be "To Mary, Good luck and remember to follow your dreams.. Love Mom & Dad", but sometimes they would be a little off, like, "To Jerry.. You're TUBAlicious.., Love, big sis". I thought of all the funny and embarrassing messages that could be played:
- To Mark.. what the hell was that? Love, Mom & Dad
- Gina.. Don't forget to put deodorant on.. Love, Dad
- Alice.. Next time you shave your legs, wash the rest of the hair down the drain.. Love, big sis"
- Sean.. Your Mom and I wanna get freaky tonight, so you'll have to stay at your friends.. see you tomorrow.. Love, Dad
- Dave.. Thanks for not double flushing when you left. Now we're stuck at home and can't make it.. Love mom & dad"
What are some other funny lines that you think would make the audience crack up?
