~Reeds are a substiutute for and better than bubble gum.
~You shop for Christmas presents for your instrument.(I only did that once.... I want to get it a cleaning cloth)
~You use pick up lines like, "If I was a fermata, would you hold me?"
~You wear your band shirt like it's a regular shirt
~You talk about the "Band Party" at lunch.
~You are greatly offended by the mispellings, "saxaphone", "coranet" and "sousophone."
~You have your own keys to the band room(I'm the first one there in the morning... And it just last year.........)

Same here... -when you don't find "blowing" or "sucking" jokes funny, but will burst out laughing the instant someone mentions the back of the bus.

i know it's a long list...but i'm guilty of EVERY ONE OF THESE
you know you're a band geek/ marching band geek when you walk in time to absolutely nothing without even realizing it.
You always step off on your lead foot.
You go to football games, just for the halftime show
You watch other marching band for fun...and you judge them
You know you're a band nerd when you could correctly play everyones part on your instrament without looking at their music
you know every school's band reputation, but not their academic one
when by day you're a double reed, and by night, a brasser...
from out of nowhere you start humming the hardest song you've ever played perfectly
when your friends yell at you to stop humming and then you all start humming your parts in the song and finger the notes like you have your instrument there
when you forget that people told you to stop humming, and you start agein
when you slowly stop paying attention to a show and pay more attention to the background music
You know you are a band geek when you are marching in time with the music playing over the loudspeaker in Walmart
when you're watching tv, and a cartoon monster eats a cartoon saxophone player(i'm sorry about my spelling), and you call out "that poor saxophone!" refering to the cartoon instrument, not the cartoon person.
hearing a certain song(s) makes you cringe, due to bad director experiances
You don't leave the music room, they kick you out
you know you're a band nerd if you glide step through lunch so you don't spill you tray.
you know youre a band nerd if you walk in step witht he people in front of you in the halls
answer to hey band nerd
you fall in love with your best friends instrument
You have more band/music related shirts than other ones
You're more excited about a band trip than your big senior trip
you've called your band director "dad"
You conduct the music you're listening to... and you're not even a DM
You subconsciously "play the desk" every moment you get a chance
your life-long dream is to have a full brass section. Trumpets, french horns, trombones, euphoniums, Tubas the works
You know when your a band geek when you say :Sectionals: to non band people and they say what the Hell does that mean
Your friend actually calls you by your instrument's name and you respond to it
you know you're a band nerd when you know the difference between a euphonium and a baritone
You have band dreams
You sing band music in your other classes
You know you're a band geek when you find yourself waking up after sleepwalking into the band room
you answer to your dot number (mine were 45, 60, 61, 60 respectavely)
You know your a band geek when you join this guild
Its gotten to the point that when I hear the intrument hit something, I respond with "OW"
you WANT to go to band camp
you turn to your stand partner to ask something bout the music,...they answer you before u even ask
when you still roll-step a year after you graduated...
u find urself keeping step 2 a tune in ur head
you forget what day of the week is, and you say "see you tomorrow", and what you really mean is, "even though practice is still 2 days away, the next practice is tomorrow..."
On your birthday (If you play a reed instrument) you just want reeds!! (bassoon reeds are expensive...)
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
finger through your scales on a pencil in your other classes
when you're not only in band, but choir too...
when MB isn't included in the class schedual, but you do it anyhow
when you argue that it's right to give out varsity sport letters to MB members
you can still march your band show from 4 years ago
you can memorize grade 6 music
you've begun to count steps between doors, or up stairs...
The sound of a woodblock in an open area causes one of three reactions, depending on your relationship with the BD and how long you've been in band: cowering on the ground in fear, slight irritation, or immediate in-time marching.
You try explaining to your parents the importance of having a baritone with that fourth valve, even though you hardly ever use it
You know your a band geek when you stand at attension while waiting in a long line
if you've taken a bubble-bath with your baritone and were uncomfortable because you felt like it was watching you...
You are THIS close to not moving to Japan because you don't know if they have good band programs
when you read 25 pages to compile this list...

Well...that's thorough.(I've done every one of them too. xd )
You know you're a band geek when you know what note your school bell is.
(Fullerton High is a very sharp B flat)

when you think that it's cool that the band director married the choir director, because you have both of their classes (guilty)
when you take a bubble-bath with your Marching Baritone, and you get uncomfortable because it feels like the baritone is looking at you while you're naked(sp)... (also guilty... 3nodding )

Masquanade You know you're a band nerd when you dressed up in your old band uniform as your halloween costume. I didn't do it . . . but someone else did sweatdrop I'd do that, but they wouldn't let me keep the skirt, cummerbund, and bowtie. xD; You know you're a band geek when you spend you spare time alphabatizing your music and memorizing their names and composers.
