You know you are a band geek when you
-complain about how all the color gaurds have a boyfriend from the hot trumpet section
-Comgratulate the drym section when they create a new cadence.
- Don't even get phased(good or bad) by naked guys/girls changing next to you.
-don't get phased when a guy from marching band drops his pants in front of you not during band months later at a track practice, but totally freak out when a non band member does it
-Call orchestra Orchadork.
-Do the hail hitler sign to bus drivers at 5:00 in the morning
-Drive 10 hours on the bus just to play for half an hour
You now you're in the trombone section when:
-You have named your bone
- You don't even laugh when some sax player comes and make sexual inuendos with it (Ahem JEFF Ahem)
- You are a girl and ALWAYS sit with your legs wide open
- you get mad when another bone's slide hitsyour music stand in the middle of a song because it's always right in the middleof your favorite part and you can't play it
-You have a figurative dance lesson in the middle of your rests.
-When you don't know the part, the director tells you the flutes are louder than you are.
- You make fun of the wind players because they laugh at the directors jokes.

You know you're a boner when you
-yell at the baritones to stop being gay...at least in my band...
-Think the word "boner"means nothing more than a trombonist...that sounds wierd. Trombonist. It just doesn't work. Boner...that's better.

I LOVE DOING THESE!
You know you're a band geek when:
-You've given your instrument a bath
-Spend time polishing your instrument right before your march, and forget what time it is,and that your band left 10 minutes before and you didn't realize it,so you ran with your trombone all the way out to the band right before they were about to play
-You're listening to the band music from last season and crying because you finaly realize it's over until next August.
-You're listening to your band music so loud your ears are popping, but you don't care, because you want to be able to hear the part you played.
- You almost start crying when your band director tells you that you're out of step.
- You get so aggravated that everyone keeps telling you to move forward because there is a gap, but you know that you're in the right place because a person is missing in front of you.
- October through December you don't have a free weekend because you're always at band competitions. (I loffs them.)
-You have to clean outyour band locker everyday because there is food/wrappers/music everywhere from the night before.
-During the ten minute break during night practices people skid out of the parking lot to go to the nearest store, buy food, bring it back and share with everyone else.
-You spend more time with the band then your own family.
-You spend time with the band parents because they used to be in band too.
-You know how to play more than 20 different card games
- During the ten minute break of night practices the mostdisgusting food soundslike a little piece of heaven, and you get cravings like a pregnant lady. (One night it was eggrolls,then chimichangas, then soup...)

You know you're band geek when:
-when you hear the alarm for a fire drill (not during band), your first thought is not "Argh, that's irritating!" but "OMG!! My BABY!!!" (aka your instrument)
-When there's a fire drill during band you don't even put down your instrument to walk outside; and glare at those who do as though they've just abandoned a child (Guilty as charged!!!)

You know you're a band geek when:
-You've been listening to the music from last season for over an hour and it still hasn't gotten old.
-You can connect to any band member even if they aren't in the same band as you.
-You make jewelry out of drumsticks that the guy you like broke. (In band practice of course)
-You make up card game names to cover up the fact that you were really playing spin the bottle with your best friends
-Your AIM sn is Iheartbandgeeks
- Your idea of a fun friday night is going out at 8:00 to buy food for the next day,then going hometo pack just about everything in your room, and going to bed at 9:00.
(I dressed up in my brothers old marching band uni for halloween once in middle school just to see how my bd would react)

you know when you are a band geek when you stand at attention for the pledge of allegiance complete with fist raised to your hip.
when you have extra tampons justincase in your horn case.
when someone falls down in the band room all you say is, "OMG IS YOUR HORN OKAY?" because bones are MUCH easier to fix...

You know you're a Band Geek when...
you make a thread dedicated to stuff like this
you make fun of other instruments and call woodwinds names like "reedsucker".
You join a internet chat site and you end up joining a band geek guild.

You know you're a band geek when...
-another instrument starts playing their favorite part in a peice, and you know exactly where they are and join right in. Without your music in front of you.
-you know the music better than your BD does.
-finger through your scales on a pencil in your other classes.
-you can cue all the other instruments in every song.
-you have decided that you liked someone else's part so much, you transposed it, and played it instead of your own.
-you won every bet on what the newbs to band would end up playing.
-you sometimes fill in on your teacher's private lessons with other student. And they all listen to you. Even the upperclassmen.
