I'm back with moreXD
-You have a song from your last marching season as a ringtone
-Upon hearing a classical song anywhere, you can name the song and composer
-You put the song you are supposed to conduct to for dm auditions on your iPod
-You want to stay home from your grandma's house to practice your instrument
-You spend your time on the computer looking up band jokes and ringtones from your marching show
-You almost throw your somputer out of the room because they don't have any ringtones featuring your instrument
-You listen to your dm audition piece all the way to your grandma's house, conducting
-While practicing marching band commands, you try to get your dog to do the commands
-Said dog obeys your marching commands
-When teaching your dog tricks, you use parade rest and band ten hut instead of sit or stay.

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed,
but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance...
You know you're a band geek when...
... you tell band jokes that no "non-band" member ever gets.
... In Switzerland they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years
of democracy and peace, what did they produce? The cuckoo clock.

You know you are a band nerd when you...
~Practice for more than nessecary on the weekends and pass up time to spend with your friends at the mall or beach
~Record your band performing on stage or at a concert on your i-Pod
~Clean your horn every 5 minutes to make sure it looks the best
~Try to come up with new ways to play a piece that you a currently working on or already have played
~Put your instrument together in class when you have free time and finger along to your parts of a piece
~Find the piece fo music you are working on online on a flash player and play along with the recording
~Play for more than 3 hours every week
~Stay up until 4 in the morning still practing because you actually have nothing better to do and you parents are really sound asleep
~When you listen to your music or hear music in a classroom at school, you count the beats and rest in each measure
~Instead of singing words, you sing the note names
~You get yelled at by your parents for playing WAY too much on weekdays and weekends
~You know the fingerings and rythm to another instruments part better than your own
~While you are in the shower, you randomly start humming your scales
~You get a song so stuck in your head you actually start making up words for the piece

When you carry drumsticks in your purse.
They won't fit in my new one, but I used to carry mine everywhere so the middle schoolers wouldn't steal/lose them in band XD We hate middle schoolers here for messing with our stuff.

You know you're a band geek when...
Your school band desides to make a band shirt that says "You know you're a band geek when" and having about 20 other of your guyses "you know you're a band geek" and the last one being "you took the time to think of all the reasons you are a band geek and added them on this shirt".
I HAVE PROOF OF THE SHIRT'S EXISTENCE!!!! XDD

You know your a band geek when:
~ you come up with a tradition for your section, so that you can have something to be remembered by, and everyone else starts copying it. Especially when middle schoolers do it just to spite you.(i did this for my marching band section for my senior year in high school, and almost immediately everyone in the middle school started copying it and passing it off as theirs)
~ You carry around the minitureized version of your instrument in your bag.{namely say the piccolo}

You know you're a band geek if:
You spend $1,000+ in order to go on tour with your school band, and you still consider it a vacation.
You always have something stuck in your head.
You're listening to your MP3 player, and you subconciously walk in time to the music on it.
You're doing the above and your friends start walking in the same time as you without even hearing the song.
Your favorite thing to do with your friends is to play in a concert.
You can't help singing in your other classes.
Before you are able to really listen to a song, you have to figure out the part your instrument would play if you had the piece. (I hate this. I'm a drummer, so I have a part in EVERY song. It gets so annoying.)
This is fun!

Well, I have chorus geek ones.. sweatdrop Don't be mad plzz!!-You start singing chorus songs in the hallway or cafeteria with your chorus friends because you're bored.
-You call non-chorus members "dipthongs" just to see them get all offended when you just called them a hard vowel pronounciation.
-You make an acapella arrangement of your favorite song.
-You make harmony parts for every song on your iPod.
-You memorize every song you ever sang in chorus.
-You make a 3-part song for you and your friends to sing... about some random kid you sorta know.

You willingly give up an elective slot for your senior year to be your director's teacher assistant, even though that just means year-long grunt work like filing and copying nonstop.
Also, we enjoy all kinds of music geeks here, Grace. No hate toward choir at all. (:
