you know you're a band nerd when...
- you get annoyed with trains cuz they're always sharp.
- you use geeky band words while talking to friends who still think the staff is a type of infection.
- your friends outside of band can tell what song you're humming, what tempo it was, what key it was in, and how many times you messed up on it durring the season.
- triangle dingers are the highlight of a conversation.
- you want to hit everyone in the face who calls vibes, marimbas, and bells fricken xylophones.
- you think flute players with flutes that match their uniforms are the coolest thing since sliced bread.
- most of your conversations actually do start with, "Well one time at band camp..."
- you're known for the phrase, "The chimes make me happy."
- you find yourself with a knife getting ready to stab the cheerleader who says,"Band is easy, all you have to do is play a stupid instrument." (heh, a little exagerated, but still guilty)
ok it's a neverending list so im just going to stop now

Terra of the Lilies
Bolded things are things I've done. I suck at Guitar Hero, anyway. xd And ugh, people in my band can never play at full speed. Heck, I accidentally play it faster than full speed. xd And our high school's uniforms are amaaazing. And I think all band people are cool. xd I hate my band. no one want's to do well, and no one knew what 'tuning' ment untill this year. There are about 4 out of 14 people I think are good people. the rest are just there to take up space and get out of gym class. (grr) So everyone thinks I'm a know it all destined to torment them by convincing the band director to let us play harder pieces, but, all I do is practice. . . alot.

You know you're a band geek when...
- you judge schools on how good their bands are, not their football team.
- instead of the orignal version of songs, you have the versions performed by marching bands.
- you start humming your part of the music... even if it's the bass parts of Tichelli's Festivo.
- You get annoyed when the people walking with you aren't in step. or in tempo.

You know you're a band geek when...
You get mad at your principal for looking for lyrics to the fight song, when half the school doesn't know what it sounds like...(we never get to play it at games, our team sucks. XD )

You know you're a Band Nerd, when you start to finger or tap out your old music from long ago, on tables, steering wheels, pencils.... Chicken wings..... Okay, I never sued the Chicken wings as drum sticks! That's all about my drumming instructor.

You know you're a band geek when...
You name all of your instuments, and every unnamed school instrument
You have ACTUALLY been to bandnerd.com and think they have the coolest s**t ever (They do!)
You are jealous of the tuba because they get to dance
You've used the word 'bi-sectional', and not neccisarily as an insult
You've debated about the spelling of flaggot/flagette on either side

You know you're a band geek when...
...upon finding out that your cousins (or siblings, or whatever) have decided to join band, you cheer.
...upon finding out that your cousins (or siblings, or whatever) are thinking about playing your instrument in band, you cheer louder.
...you are determined to play that one piece you can never play ALL THE WAY THROUGH with NO MISTAKES, even if it takes you three hours.
...you start all over once you miss a note on that one piece you are determined to play ALL THE WAY THROUGH with NO MISTAKES.
...after practicing for three hours a day for three weeks, you have memorized that one piece you could never play and can play it with your eyes closed (especially on instruments with no fixed hand positions (violin, piano, guitar, bells/xylophone, etc.)).
...you download sheet music for your favorite songs and ask to play them in band class.
...your director lets your band play the sheet music you downloaded of your favorite songs.
...you have joined a million extracurricular band activities (jazz, marching, string, CMEA, All-State, etc.)
...you have joined a million extracurricular band activities, even if you don't necessarily play the instruments required.
...you have joined a million extracurricular band activities, and learned a new instrument for them.
...you have learned a new instrument just because you want to.
...you have ever told someone "I broke my G-string."
...you have ever told someone "I broke my G-string" and they say, "Here, you can borrow mine."
...someone has told you "I broke my G-string" and you say, "Here, you can borrow mine."
...someone else overhears you telling someone/someone telling you "I broke my G-string" and walks away very quickly.
...someone tells a perverted band joke and you're totally confused.
...upon listening to a dirty band joke, like "Trombones can do it in seven different positions," you think, "What about the eighth?"

fredsgrl365 You know your a band geek when you sit in the bleachers at the competition you are hosting and ask kids from other bands what instrument they play until you find someone who plays the same as you. Did it..found only three people out of like twenty bands that play the mellophone. Aha, my best friend plays the mellophone. You know you're a band geek when your goal in highschool is to get sectional leader senior year.
