Gosh, I feel bad for our new band teacher. Yet another true story from my school, and yes, it’s got it's roots in the band department.
A student’s regular classroom teacher noticed him using an awful lot of chapstick. I mean according to his teacher, this boy was smacking his lips, slathering it on, puckering-up—the whole nine yards. Another student also noticed and exclaimed that what the boy was doing was disgusting (he knew what the tube really was).
It seems that this student came across a tube of cork grease left in his instrament case. I personally didn’t know what cork grease was, but as I was told name says it all. It’s definitely grease. It comes in a tube similar to chapstick and is used to keep the cork joints supple on many wind instruments.
When the teacher figured it out, she promptly asked for the tube back to return to the band teacher.
ICK!! That’s straight up grease! My lips have never been that chapped! Not only is that stuff not for ingestion, but imagine the factor that the child just found a random tube of chapstick and was using it. EW!
The band teacher is getting much less grossed out by things after the roach incident. Her response?
“Well, it’s probably not that toxic.”

It must be something with band people. How many stories have you heard that begin 'this one time... at band camp'?
