Band Notes

Cathy Brown by Cathy Brown
January 3, 2026
in Local Schools

Heard Around the JFH Band Room……Holiday Edition

“Whoa, I love your ugly sweater, it’s just sooo––ugly…. but in a good way!!”

“Can I give someone a potato during the gift exchange?

“Are my antlers on straight?”

“Look at the lights I put on my instrument!” (“Looks great, but do all the keys still move?)

             “Awww man!! I didn’t think about that!”

“This music lyre thingy, doesn’t fit into my music lyre holder thingy.”

“Has anyone ever fallen into the river during the Tree Lighting Ceremony?” (“Why do you ask?”)

             “Oh, no reason in particular….”

“Excuse me, would you do that at home? Then don’t do it here, please!”

“But Crocs in ‘sport mode’ ARE athletic shoes MizB!”

“The Tree Lighting is fun, but I wish they did it in the daytime.  It’s all dark outside when we do it now.”  (“That is kind of the point of the event, right? To turn on the lights when it gets dark?” 

            “Oh yeah……”

“Do we have to wear clothes to the Tree Light?”  (“Excuse me?” )

           “Uh…. I mean, do we have to wear CONCERT CLOTHES, to the Tree Light??”

“Oh-oh–Cold mouthpiece! Cold mouthpiece! Wasn’t expecting that!”

“Watch out–those are some big reindeer; I bet they make some big poop…”

(“Where is your COAT??”)    “It’s not THAT cold outside right now.”    (“Yes it is!”)

“Oh my gosh it’s COLD, I can’t feel my fingers!”   (“I TOLD you it would be cold!!!”)

“Coooookies!!!!  For us??  This is awesome!”

“If you had an elf costume that fit me, I would wear it to the concert.” (challenge accepted)

“My curly–toed shoes are too big; what should I do? Just stuff them with cotton balls??”

“Can I hang this disco ball on my trumpet for the concert?”

“I am so scared about the Concert, I don’t like being in front of people!”

“The Concert was SO MUCH FUN, when can we do it again!?”

“Oh man, we loaded the stand rack backwards; all the ups are supposed to be down.”

“Check it out MizB, I got an old Broadway Band uniform from JB’s for $5.00!” (while wearing it proudly)

(….and the ever popular) “Can I have a lollipop?”
