Welcome to Gaia! ::

we have no band-lations..i wish we did though...there's a hot alto player who i heart

There are so many in my band that the resident bando-artists created mini portraits of them on the band-room whiteboard. They've been up there for almost a month now.

The funniest pair are two clarinetists named Christian and Miriam. Miriam drags poor spineless Christian EVERYWHERE, and gets upset whenever they can't be together.

I was in a band-lationship that lasted for two months with a trombonist (I play tuba). It didn't work out very well, and only 4 people in the band actually knew we were going out.

but we use it anyway domokun

My sis, a trumpet, is involved in a very good bandlationship with a sax player. I'm convinced they are going to get married someday if they survive going to different colleges.

As fo me (I play flute), I'm currently in a quasi band-lationship. I was really good friends with the only male horn player back in high school. I was also close with one of the tuba players. We were with each other so much that people assumed I had to be dating one of them. Not so. I did date the tuba player for less then a month but other then that the assumptions were false.

However I have been going out with the horn player for...a year a seven months tomorrow. smile We don't play together anymore since we go to different schools. In fact he doesn't play horn anymore period since he relies on school horns. But on convenient days he sometimes plays mellophone with us in my school's pep band.


But even though the "band" is dissappearing from this band-lationship... gosh I love him. 4laugh redface

It's really fun to watch band-lationships develop, especially when one of them sits next to you in math and so does her best friend... and she spends the whole time "do you think he likes me? should i ask him out? i should ask him to bali, shouldn't i? but what if he says no?" and to watch them together... *giggle*

Ah...they have proven to be strong with our last trip.
The "PDA" or "Public Display of Affection" Rule was "Strongly Enforced" It was quite funny as you can imagine. So the whole week, we'd tap somebody on the shoulder and say, "I'm sorry, I PDA'd you!" And they'd say, "Great! Now we're gettting sent home and it's all your fault!"

All of the good-looking male sax players I have ever met (and I say this as a thoroughly straight guy) are philandering, womanizing man-sluts. And while there are always great people in band, my heart right now belongs to an un-person. Now (to get on-topic), being a freshman, I have of course only seen "band-lationships" that I was certain would never last more than a couple of weeks. And I'm always right. Not that it's a difficult feat, with ninth-graders.

I have to say, though, that while I am very good friends with a lot of band people (the smart ones, anway), I have not actually wanted to date anyone in band since I was in seventh grade and willing to take anything that came my way. Not that it did. Regardless, I'm not sure what it is, but even though the more mature band members would theoretically be better matches for each other than anyone else in terms of sheer probability, the immature ones are the only ones that ever seem to date. I wonder why that is...
