Mushroom Samba
you know you're a band geek when you have nightmares about missing your spots and trippin in the show
You do NOT know how many times I wake up crying during marching season from those ngihtmares...
YKYBGW:
-You get really annoyed one day that everyone's out of step in the hallways and start screaming "LEFT---LEFT---LEFT!!!" (guilty (once))
-You're very surprised when people look at you and wonder what the heck you're talking about, and happy when the other people in the band immediately follow orders.
-You have a list of the hotness rating of all the drum majors in the district.
-(for those in small bands like me) You take pride in having less than 40 members in the band and still being able to perform better than the 'big schools' at the band nights.
-The first band night is fun. The others just get annoying after seeing the other bands' shows and knowing that yours is still better.
-You're insulted that the cheerleaders get a big mention at the pep rally for the special-ed school you performed at, and there's one line that says 'Oh, and the (insert school here) Pep Band performed too.'
-You have an underground stash of handwarmers for football games.
