What gag gifts do you give out at your band banquet?

This is the first year we've had a banquet and we're looking for some ideas.
If you could lend us a hand it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

give out their senior awards. For senior awards we usualy give funny/stupid
stuff. Every now and then someone will give like a best friend award or an
award to their parents. Our trombone section passes down a spicket every year.

We had a whole bunch of things! Handcuffs for the best couple.
Chap-Stick for the butt kissers. Different awards for each section were
fun, too.
In H.S. I got band-aids for being named "band klutz" my sophomore year.
I was captain my senior year so "nyay!" :)

The seniors are responsible for the "gag gifts", such as - best marchers in
each class (boy and girl) they get an old marching band shoe painted gold; most
spirited in each class (boy and girl); most likely to become a band director;
biggest "brown noser"; cutest couple; biggest flirt; best musician in each
section; best flag,rifle, weapon; seniorgirls and guys hand down a spirit flag
to the juniors (this tradition has been around for over 30 years.
Good Luck,

to their seniors. some sections, however, have traditions. Ex. the low-brass
section always gives their seniors large beer mugs filled with condoms and
candy.

year. One year we dog piled a kid and he couldnt get off the ground for a
while (not funny but...) so we gave him a spatula to scrape himself off with.
Other gifts that I dont remember the signifigance of include all sorts of hats,
a towel, some boxers, ect.

I still have my Beer Mug with Candy and Condoms! Sadly enough, that really
touched me!

The officers give out gag awards at the banquet. It varies each year, depending on
whatever inside jokes are big that year, but every year there is a Ken and Barbie
award: the "cutest" couple, in the officers' opinion, receive a Ken doll and a
Barbie doll. It's always amusing. :)

"superlatives". We had some interesting ones last year. I think the best one
was "Most Likely to be a Prick" which was given to this one senior jerk. It
was very funny. Most of them had to do with inside jokes from the year. Our
drum major last year got "Most likely to be surrounded by underclassmen males"
because half of the freshmen and sophomore guys were infatuated with her.
Those are just a few that I really remember.
Just my $.05......inflation is hell, ain't it?

awards we received that year. The seniors give out things. They pass down
sectional stuff or they have an inside joke with someone so they tell the story
and then give the gift. Sections give their seniors gifts and at the end we
watch a movie that we had made over the season. Its fun but there's a lot of
sadness there too. You usually bring a box of kleenex!

To one (to be) junior and senior: The icepack award. To be worn on the head
to reduce swelling.
To one (to be) senior: The heatpack. (Opposite of the icepack, duh.)
The broken record award: Given to the player who just can't stop playing
that one dang coolthefirst5minutesbutnowit'sold song...
The spontaNeuferty award: At one of our spring concerts, a timpani player
busted out with a solo after the wind ensemble performed (man was it LOUD)
to the horror of our director. his name was Neufer. Make the corrolation.
There's more, such as the waterbottle to the first one who faints at band
camp, etc... but those are my personal favs.

all bent up and is painted in our school colors and on a giant backboard. My
school has bagpipes, and the Pipe Sergant gives an old bag that was turned into
a dog to the following year pipe sergant.

Nothing tops this. For Christmas a couple of years back, some of the seniors gave our director ROGAINE!!!!!! He took it pretty well, though.
