Salesmonkey Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 So i guess ill start on just one bus ride. We took busses to Disney World my freshmen year. 20 Hours there and due to complications 30 hours home. Two of the things we did on these bus rides that pop to mind are the insult contest and bus surfing. Basically the insult contest was what its name suggests, a contest to see who could come up with the longest, dirtiest, and most insulting/disturbing insult. Add to this that most of us had just popped at least two caffiene pills and you get an interesting game involving insults generally no shorter than 4 or 5 words. Secondly is bus surfing. This occured around 1:30am-2am on the ride home when most everyone was asleep, including the director. Me, and a couple friends stood in the aisle of the(charter of course) and then without holding onto anything would jump and do 360's and the like while the bus was in a turn, and not falling. Ended up only falling on and waking up like 4 cranky people and it was very entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VRHSRangerTBone Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 During my sophomore year, we went to Winter Park, Colorado and had a blast. However, on the way back to the airport on the charter we experienced the craziest snowstorm any of us had ever seen (and I'm not a true-blooded Texan...I have seen a ton of snow before). The first half of the trip back from Winter Park went very smoothly, but in what seemed like an instant the bus was crawling at 5-10 mph along with every other car on the road. When we finally got to the Denver airport, they had actually shut it down and we were stuck there for the day. We almost had to stay the night in the airport, but they got us out on two of the first (and last) flights of the night. I had never seen anything like it though...on the bus or at the airport. When we got back home, we learned that it was in fact one of the worst snowstorms Denver had ever seen. It was so much fun though! Connally was at Winter Park during the same time we were, but they had taken charters all the way there and had escaped the storm before it hit.

TRtrumpet Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Wow, there was so many "intersting" things that happened at ours last year and the year before but they all graduaded so the but is pretty mellow now. Nothing intersting has happened this year. One of the major things that happened last year was when our bus broke down on the way to the Alamo Dome. We were going to the state 2A-3A competiton (to watch) and about 8 minuts away from the Alamo our bus broke down! It was pretty fun though, I have to admit. The only thing that sucked was as soon as they got our bus fixed we had to turn around and go back to TR when we were only 8 MINUTS away from the alamo!!

Gltokensp06 Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Ok. So this is a story that many of the Westfield kids from that year still don't even know about. Since this happened at a place were some people would be mad....i'm really sorry and I had no part in putting this together. So, we were at a Westfield vs. Conroe game back in 2003. The sound techs for that year were completly and uttlerly insane. Thier names, I will not reveal becuase I dont want anyone to be mad. We had just arrived at Conroe stadium and we were a bit early. So these two guys, and some one or two of the leadership saw that there was a forest right behind the visitor side of the stadium and wanted to do some exploring. Now mind you, no one knew what was going on. As far as most of us knew, they were going to ask the directors about something. So as it turns out, they went into the back of the woods and there was an abandoned couch. Now them being band kids, they had to do something mischevious. So a with camera with night vision, and an empty bladder later, a film was made...Now if you don't quite understand what I mean, there was an abandoned couch, and some guy, for lack of better words, shat on it. Now his buddy with the camera filmed it...No one knew about it until the ride home when they were talking about it. Now, this has been a kinda Drumline secret and like I said, a lot of people even from that year didn't know about it. Of course, when we arrived home, everyone had to see it....and might I say, I saw from beginning to end and no nudity was spared. IT WAS HILARIOUS. You could actually see the fecies comming out of the guys butt. It was the most disturbing, scarring, amazing thing I had ever seen at the time. Well thats my story, and of course I have many, more incriminating stories than that but thats all you get sooo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mculbert07 Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 After my long stint in the middle of nowhere, I have returned. Just yesterday at UIL region- I was sitting in the back of the bus, playing Pokemon (we're trying to bring it back), and there was a loud chorus of "Do Yo Chain Hang Low?" going on in the background. Suddenly, the voices stopped, and someone went "Daaaang!" and pointed to our immediate left. Not 4 feet from us, separated by 2 double paned bus windows, was a bus filled with Crocket's colorguard. Being high school guys on an all guy bus (our busses are separated by gender, thanks to our tuba leader freshman year), there was gawking, and finally, someone got the brains to dare me to throw them my number. We found someones stand tunes from middle school night, and I grabbed one, I think it was Land of 1000 dances. Someone found a red pen under a seat, and I got to work. In about 5 different places, I scribbled my cell phone number on the paper, and got my friend to fold it into a paper air plane. Instead of throwing it (supplies were limited, we could only make one), I yelled to one of the girls on the bus and handed over the "message". She was immediately swarmed by a dozen other girls (I must have been looking good for once), and they started asking questions. "Is this your number? Really?" I said yes, and went back to my Pokemon game. Just as they were about to pull off, one of the girls leaned out and asked. "Whats your name?" I told her to make something up for now and I'd tell her later. Before she could say anything, they drove off. I would have never done it if they hadn't dared me to. Story #2- We were in the midst of a 19 hour bus ride home from Winter Park, CO (same year as Ryan's story). My good friend George had a high powered flash light, and by high powered, I mean: You can feel the light on you from accross the bus. We tested that. Once we got done testing that, we found an old peanut butter/chocolate powerbar that was still intact and in the wrapper. We shined the light on the wrapped powerbar for about 5 minutes and then opened it. It wasnt quite melted, but it had the consistency of wet clay/playdough. We made sculptures. If you want more details, PM me or find me on AIM (im great at sax). The story gets better, but I'm afraid to put it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TX Suh-nare Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 On the ride home to H-Town after Arlington this year. I had fallen in and out of sleep for half the ride, but I finally got a good hour's worth. When I woke up, I was taped to my chair. Some pit punk's girlfriend brought msking tape and they confined me to my chair. Freaks! They even video-taped it! That tenor is gonna GET IT!

t3hZm4n Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 On a bus ride to one of our football games last year, the entire trombone section, along with all of our (all female) drum majors were crowded around one seat looking at a porn magazine that my friend found in the hallway at school... it was pretty intense, since our DMs were as into it as everyone else was.

HHSBaSsTrOmBoNe'09 Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Well there is one from Hendrickson that wasn't strange in the definition the others where giving... but in our Trip last year to New York/ Philadelphia we were driving to the airport from New Jersey (on the way home) and a few T-bonists decided to pick on our assistant director while he was asleep by poking him with this strange frilly thing (and strangely he didn't wake up but he swatted at it.) So my friend and i decided to steal his sun glasses... i took them ran to the front of the bus and i SWEAR about a min. later we got cut off by some Gold colored jeep causing us to Stop quickly and swerve into the next lane where sadly... a Semi was soooo. we hit the gold jeep (and the guy broke his sholder and leg and had no insurance) and the semi hit us creating a large gash in the side of the bus and almost taking out the window in front of me, and apparently the semi's wheel went into the storage compartment and (with my luck) ran over my stuff. So yeah theres a bus story for you... (Nobody was hurt 'cept the guy in the jeep) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shotgunwedding Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 One year, the drumline bus had to share with the colorguard. Well for some reason we had some serious crappy busses. Like, it was rainging out side and there were holes and leaks in the roof so everyone was getting rained on. Since we had the colorguard on our bus and theyre all girls, we had many many tampons and pads. They decided it would be fun to attach tampons and pads to the ceiling to stop the leaking. Interesting night. :] It sure did make the boys a bit uncomfortable. hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mculbert07 Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Some people in the front of the bus once realized that if you throw something out the window, theres a good chance it will come back in through another window behind them. They got some peanuts and had a competition to see how many people they could hit. Seeing as how you cant be very accurate in this... past time... about 4 of us got hit quite a bit.

lionbc Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 During shotgunwedding's story, on a different bus, the parents too had a leaky bus, so they got to ride home in ponchos they had got from Epcot when we went to Disney World. Also, Salesmonkey, do you remember the camera and the 'beating' the freshman up infront of the bus at Lonestar last year? How about Tony the Tiger and Monkey(don't remember which competition that was)? Trombones are probably the best section to go on a bus ride with(atleast in our band). You're never bored(maybe annoyed because you can't get to sleep, but whatev). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsstephenyo Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 I fell asleep on the bus ride back to school from San Antonio. Apparently, people fed me while I was sleeping and I ate it. I woke up with the taste of sour cream and onion Pringles in my mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
