The Jolly Glomper When you cannot watch Pirates of the Carribean without trying to conduct ot the soundtrack. (Is it just Washington, or did half the WORLD'S marhcing bands play that the past two years???) Not just Washington. At every single competition my band was i8n SOMEONE played PotC. At the last one there were about 5 bands doing it. >.> Of course, in 8th grade my band did it before everyone else whee

YKYABNW:
~You can tell what everyone's reaction would be to a particular song (We were on the band buses THAT much)
~You get upset when the band across the football field is out of key.
~You get insanely happy knowing that your band is better than the one in Drumline (We went up against them at a football game)
~You play in the sprinklers during band camp.
~All you have to do is hold up a piece of music and people know to expect a lecture.
~You are THIS close to not moving to Japan because you don't know if they have good band programs (Eheh... guilty)
~You'll go to band day at Georgia Tech (even though you hate Tech) just for the experience
~You have a collection of music since sixth grade (over 50 pieces!)
...more later!

mmmk...
-When you argue over hand warmers before and after halftime and during competitions in the fall.
If someone calls your case a lunchbox again you will slit their throats..
When you can transpose every other instrument's music to your concert key.
When you help set up the tech and chairs for ALL the concerts.
When you hear "retard" you automatically think SLOW DOWN. heheheee
When someone says "to the ready" you start to hiss. (when someone says "DETAIL ATEN-HUT" you reflexively yell "HUTTTT!!!!")
When BAND eats away at your parent's paychecks more than any other expense inside or outside of school... stare
When you LIKE the taste of a new reed.
When you watch a movie you played for band and you try to follow along with your part.
haha...I'm done..

...When you're painting a mural that shows that you won division 1a at los altos last november and youre constantly getting into arguments with out of control drum majors.
also when you sing oldies and ranchero songs on the bus during jazz things.

You know you're in marching band when the bones smuggle in a loveseat, two lazy boys, a TV, ps2, xbox, and gamecube, while the tubas smuggle in a sofa plus a 6x6 ft square of carpeting plus a down quilt made by one of their grandmom's to set up a mini livingroom infront of the trombone lockers. We had to hide it all in the percussion room whenever the principles were coming to visit ^_^V
You know you're in marching band when someone calls the band office and the first thing they ask is, "Don't you people ever go home!?"

You know you're a band nerd when.....
you and your friends make fun of people because they are not in the band.
you walk in step to the music at the mall, grocery store, etc.
you can have a 1/2 to 2 hour conversation about "little peices of wood".
you complain that your marching uniform doesn't match your eyes.
the first thing you think in the morning is "Awwww man it's an A-day so no band during school..... only after school."
your parents try to control you by threatening to take you out of one of your many band functions.
you think doing extra volunteer work for your school drama department as the live orchestra is fun.
you think orchestra is what is for those who aren't up to band standards.
you've been offended by Squidworth on SpongeBob Squarepants because he gives all clarinets a bad name.

Saxophone: machine guns clarinet: RPGs(Rocket Propelled Grenade Launchers) or Stinger Missles trumpet: RPGs as well Tuba: Surface to air missles flute: sniper rifle Trombones: anti-aircraft that's funny, but me and my friends started our own list of weapons too. Flute: a bat Clarinet: machine gun Saxophone: also a machine gun F. Horn: grenade launchers Trumpet: hand gun Trombone: bazooka Tuba: missile launcher you know you're a band geek when you... can't think in class and often find yourself daydreaming about either music or your instrument ditch class and spend your time in the band room. hear Pirates of the Carribean song over and over again you just want to tune out or get annoyed. love to hear classical music around friends who dislikes them.

You know you're a band nerd when your BD wont let you wear the band shirts, you go and get your own made...and personalized...with your band name/instrument's name/tuning note
You know you're a band nerd when you sloowwlllyy walk to every class but run to band, just so you can practice more
When you practice for 3 hours straight, and then some
When your dad bangs on your door for killing yet another poor defensless animal (they dont understand that what you are playing is actually music and you dont have the melody)
When your dad, mom, brother, and neighbors do so
The only people you talk to are in band. If they're not, they wish they were now.
You hum or whistle a song from band while fingering the notes as well, and your friends catch on
Not only do you practice your music for band, you print out music off the internet and know that by heart too
Guilty of all the above (except the first. Advanced band is doing that...and Intermediate, the one i am in, is not allowed *cry*)
