on the band shortbus 

Like the more well-known saying, "to be on the bandwagon", but it is used when one likes a band before they become cool.

Steve: "I see a lot of little kids like Green Day these days."
Mark: "Yeah, they're all jumping on the Green Day bandwagon now. But us two, we were on the band shortbus. We got "39/Smooth" when it first came out."

Buy shots for the band 

Phrase promoting turning the party up a notch. Could involve actually buying shots for a band if live music is present; otherwise it refers to any action that livens up a party.

The party was a little boring until Scott decided to buy shots for the band and then things got wild.

Strike up the band 

To swing your middle fingers as if you were a conductor orchestrating a band. More elaborate and eccentric way of giving someone the finger.

"Tye was a dick yesterday. Time to strike up the band when I see him next."

"If the teacher pisses you off just strike up the band and leave."

I'm so far behind I can't hear the band. 

Describes a situation where one is woefully and comprehensively overdue with a task or work assignment. An older cliche presumably referring to a parade scenario lead by a marching band.
