Well... The way I look at it....
When I came to band, everyone was all "Band is liek one BIG happy family!!!!"
...
...And dating in band?
...
...Think about it.
...Eeeeeeeeeeeew...
It's one big happy family because we almost "marry" each other. Like one big happy family of in-laws! yay.
I've dated one guy outside of band. I won't do it ever again. Band kids need those conversations...
BF: Hey, what's wrong?
ME: I can't play a high Bb because my horn is broken.
BF: Dang. When does it go in the shop?
ME: In 2 weeks... Man, my audition is only in 3 weeks, I don't know if I'll be able to play well enough or be used to that note only being able to play it for like a week. Dang, I hate auditions. I'm so stressed, etc, I suck, someone please kill me before I embarrass myself, etc...
BF: I totally understand. I hate it when.... blahblahblah
everyone KNOWS they talk to their band kid boyfriends like that. Or else I am simply nuts.
Also, if you are in the same musical organization, you get to share the orgasmic experience of music. Yay. People connect through music. Look at the movies. Romeo and Juliet dancing... I suppose that's almost a bad example.
Whatever. I think people get a closeness from sharing music that cannot be duplicated by sharing other activities.
