Just for fun, Band parents say the funniest things

[JFNDOWBFAN]

As I sit in the parking lot, listening to the future 2025, 6A  State Qualifier, Orange Wave Band….let’s have some parent fun!

This is only meant for fun, no mean spirited comments. 
 

What are some of the funniest, eye rolling, comments or questions you have heard from other parents in band whether on text or a communication app,  or just plane funny story?

I will even start….

Almost every time we go to band, I will ask one of my kids if they have their instrument. Yes, I know what I’m asking because I have been told yes, just to in the parking lot and hear the dreaded “uhhhhh dad” from the backseat!

I once made a funny meme about our director because no matter how many times he ask people not to park in the bus lane on a Friday or Saturday Night, it still happens!

At BOA San Antonio 2024, during the performances right before prelims awards, I (a (admittedly much older looking) HS sophomore) was having a very in-depth conversation with some Flower Mound graduates just about all things marching and comp related. At some point, a Southlake Carroll mom turned around from in front of me and asked: “how long has it been since you graduated?” “Oh no I’m a sophomore.” She continued to think I meant a sophomore in college. Long story short, because of the depth of my nerdiness on this subject, this woman was under the impression I was 4 years older than I was

Ha. I will admit. When my oldest was in 9th, he was like one of only 2-3 in Wind Ensemble and his first concert I was blown away at how old his bandmates were…now he is da Man looking beast at the concert 3 years later. Haha
