Welcome to Gaia! ::

We band geeks make a big percentage of the school that it happens everywhere we go.

You know your a band geek when...

10.You march to your classes
9.You name your instrument in the OPPOSITE gender of yourself
8.The band room is your FIRST home and your real home is just were you go to when the BD kicks you out
7.The last song you played is still in your head three hours LATER
6.Most of your friends are in band or adopted non-players <--true
5.You hear I AM NOT YOUR MOTHER! by the BD all the time
4.You harp on someone for PRETENDING to play your instrument the wrong way
3.When you conduct the song on the radio
2.Your latest class assignment deals with something you do in band
AND FINALLY...

1.YOU HAVE THE BD ON SPEED DIAL!! 3nodding GILTY OF ALMOST ALL

I am guilty of all of those except wearing my band shoes because they are extremly muddy and slightly uncomfortable to walk around in....I figured that out the hard way... sad .....whae my band was preforming at the fair we got to walk around the rest of the day after we preformed and I didn't bring other shoes because I figured that they would be comfortable, but I was there from 8:00 in the morning until 5:00 in the evening.........and my feet hurt so bad because all we did the entire time was walk around.....

when you are sick and stay home from school and miss band and only want to go to school for first period (band)

you make up a dance to the caidence and everytime you are not marcing and it is played all you have to do is look at the people you made it up with and you starts dancing

you try to get your bf/gf to be a band aid so you can actully see them on friday nights

is sad when your flute has your be 'fixed' and his name is George

treat your band memebers like family

when you start crying at the last game with that years seniors

when you cry at the first game of the season

are devistated when you can not march because of the weather

are at a friends house outside, and starts doing the fundamental drill for fun

if you think that people that do not know what some insterment are called are dumb and that everybody should know something as simple as that

(I am guilty of all of these things and most of the other things on this forum. band is just awsome, and I have relized that even if someone is in a different band, they do a lot of things like you. I start with my left foot with out even thinking anymore, and can not stand it if i am not in step with people.......I am a band nerd!!!!!!!!!!and proud of it!!!!!!!)

You know when you're a band geek when...
--This fourm describes everything about what you do.
--When your mom brings you in a music store when your about five and you look up at her from staring all the beautifully made instruments and state. "Mommy, could you by me this whole store?! Pwease!" (Guilty. I still remember this. xD)
--When you wanted to become a musician even before you wanted to walk. (Tee-hee. Guilty again)
--When you treat your band as a family.
--When you met your best friend in band rehersal and treat him/her now as a bro/sis. (Guilty)
--When your best friend fiddles on your cell and looks under the speed dial list and your band mates are on there, but not him/her. (Guilty)
--When you want to go home but you stay because band is the last period of the day.
--(For drummers) when you steal your friends pencils and start drumming on your desk with out even a second thought. (I do that all the time.)
--Play the cadience in your head and you start marching to it.
--When your friend starts humming a peice of music and you pick out a flaw in their humming and point out they were wrong and you hum it correctly. (Guilty)
--When you're sitting in a pew at a wedding, listening to the music, and the organ player makes a mistake and you laugh because you're the only one that caught it and everyone stares at you. (Happened to me at my cousins wedding a few weeks ago.)

And lastly-- When your principle get's rid of band because there aren't enough people in it (because it's a small school) and you write up a petition. That doesn't work, and you get your ex-BD to start a comunity band. biggrin (This happened to me...)

Some a** hole foot ball player said I was gay because I play flute... I play clarinet crying

I have band last hour of the day.

You know you're a band geek when you know you're sick in the middle of the day and still stay at school for band.
