Have you ever

Have you ever had a 6th grade band student climb onto instrument shelves, crawl into a tuba case, and refuse to come down until being forced to by 3 police officers who cuffed him and took him to jail? Just curious….

Everyone has a student horror story. Mine was a bad attitude trombone holder(not player). The kids called him Dingle Berry 'cause he liked to moon the school bus before Summer break every year. He was finally arrested and kicked out of school for putting a bomb in his locker.

I once fit 4 Pre K students in a full sized tuba case. They loved it.

I had a VERY similar issue with a student back when I taught elementary. And that was a student that had an aide come with her everyday!

When I was in middle school, a group of us put the smallest kid in band in the tuba case, locked him in the storage room. Band Director found him not long after.

It was fortunate that his parents didn't press charges, but we were all suspended. This was the late 90s.

I had a group of students talk a younger kid into getting into a sousaphone case and rolled him around a little bit. Never had the police. You got me on that one.
