Any ideas for band camp pranks?

Question

The seniors pull a prank on our director every year during band camp.

It's our director's last year, so the seniors want to go out with a bang.

It's not an overnight camp, we simply march on the field from 8-4.

Any ideas?

(our director is bald, if that helps at all)

Answer 1

we used to wrap (toilet paper)our directors house twice a year as tradition. once on the night before the last day of band camp, and again on his birthday. rookies were taken to clean up the mess the next day.when i was student teaching, the kids wrapped all the staff cars (but also made them an awsome lunch!).

my own students have;

1. died my goatee on a dare (they had to get sweepstakes to do it)

2. showed up to last day of camp in their jammies

3. marched the final runthrough of camp in boxer shorts (over their real underwear) & yes the girls wore sport bras or t-shirts too! jeesh

4. kidnapped the rookies & made them do first day of camp in their jammies.

5. challenged the football team to a softball game & beat them

6. painted the band room (they had permission from the principal & help from the band boosters

hope this gives you some ideas

remember to thank him alot, being a band director is tough, we need all the luv n props we can get!

Well, this isn't a prank, but you could print out an oval shaped template, pass one out to each member of the band (or one for each section), and tell them it's a tattoo contest for his head!  You could also bring some sharpies and see if he's game to have the winners draw the picture on his head!

The only really good prank I could think of is towards the clarinet players... when they're not looking, you lay a quarter in between the barrel and the mouthpiece... when they go to play... well, let's just say you should have a camera ready!  (All in good fun!)
