Extended part: Our bus (#1) missed the rest stop we were supposed to be at, so we ended up at one farther down the interstate and waited for the other buses. I was talking to my band captain (alto sax- L), and I mentioned that my birthday was at midnight. L told me that he was going to wake up the entire bus at midnight and have them sing happy birthday to me. I groaned, and said that's a horrible idea. He didn't care. 11:55 comes, and I'm stressing. Midnight comes and passes, my friend (tenor sax) is the first to tell me "happy birthday," and still no singing. We get to the school, and I cheerfully go up to L. "You forgot!" I told him, and he looked very upset with himself, tried to apologize, and gave me a hug. Well, I thought that was done and over with, so I leave the band room to get my stuff from the bus. When I reentered the band room, the entire band erupted in "DAH DAH DAH DUH HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR (MY NAME)! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! DO YOU WANT MORE? DAH DAH DAH DO YOU WANT LESS? DAH DAH DAH WITH EVERY TICK AND EVERY TOK WITH EVERY NICK AND EVERY TUCKET YOU KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO KICK THAT BUCKET! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAAAAAAAPPPPPY BIIIIIIRRRRTHHHDAAAAY DEEAAAAAR (my name)! HAAAAAAPPPPY BIIIIRTHDAAAAY TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO  YOOOOOOOUUUUUUUU." And that's our crazy birthday song, complete with lots of clapping... My band captain got his way after all. At like 3 in the morning. At school, several people ended up admitted that they had no idea whose birthday it was. Lol.
