when your tan line turns permante
when sections of your band are no longer called by their instruments [ ex: the trombone taliban, the flute nazis, etc.]
when you miss marching season
when you cry after you just put forward all your effort in a marching performance
when the low brass and the trumpets 'battle it out' Star Wars style [basically they insult each other left and right, encourage people to join their side, note the star wars reference......join the low brass don't let the power of the trumpet consume you!]
when you can tell what instrument a person plays just by looking at them
one more note before i go. Since I play both Trombone and Trumpet [the other trumpet players don't know about this yet] it's kinda weird insulting them in our bouts. It's like as if I'm figthing against myself lol.

I love this thread.
- When you start yelling at cars in traffic if their turn signals/windshield wipers aren't all together
- When you go on a class trip to New York City and all the band members are marching in step down Times Square... and the rest of the class pretends they don't know you.
- When you go to school even when you're sick because you can't bear to miss band.

- When you have a pair of splits on your lip from where the reed hits it.
- When you have 4 more, for the various sized reeds of the different instruments you play.
- When you sing the marching band show as a subconcious habit
- And your friends join in.
- When you conduct as a subconcious habit
- When you have a favorite time signature (6/8, baby!)
- When you're proud of your neckstrap tan.
- When you seriously can't have a significant other outside of band, because you'd never see them
- When you just keep your crap in your band locker instead of your hall one.
- When you have 3 band lockers, and you use them all regularly
- When you've seen the band room empty
- When you start associating things with band camp (The smell of axe, misty mornings, sunburn...)
- When you walk in step with the people next to you
- And it bugs you that they're not walking in step with each other
- When you SET the stereotype for your section, rather than just ACT it (Altos are perfect!)
- When you give nicknames to sections of music (Suicide, Death Star, Babythrowing...)
- And they stick (18-Wheeler, Bull-fight, Mobius Strip...)
- When you refer to pieces of music by their composer, or a small part of their title, rather than the whole thing (Hindemith)
- When you count the seconds between the end of a slow song and the start of the applause
- And you take offense when it's less than 10
- When you consider the directors your parents, and your bandmates your siblings.
- When others consider you the "face" of the section
- When you listen more to the music than the plot in movies
- When you're jealous of the uniforms that other bands have (I want capes!)
- When you can drum fairly well, though you've never touched a drumstick in your life

The sad thing is that I apply to most of these. sweatdrop
-When the idea of getting brand new instruments is the highlight of your day, even if you don't play those instruments.
-When the idea of getting a five octave marimba makes your eyes light up......until you find out that you won't get to play it before you graduate.
So true-my BD is getting new drums (snares, tenors/quads, bass drums, and cymbols), mellophones, baritones, and sousaphones for next year's marching band, and possibly a new marimba (we need one bad!), and I'm graduating!!! crying crying crying
