-1I was inspired by something that happened in band A few days ago.
Once upon a time in a magical place called My Junior High Band Room, Mrs.Carter,the band director was having us play a song. In the third mesure of this particular song, the dynamics hushed to a piano and the speed slowed down with a retard. It had been a while scince we had played this particular song do we didn't change speed or loudness. Mrs. Carter stoped us, "Where is the retard n this march?" she asked, refering to the slow spot in the song. Every body turned around and pointed to the bass drum player. "No." she said, "the other retard."
I found this funny because she did not get mad at us for calling him a retard.
