When your director calls 'water break, five minutes!' and five seconds later he says 'Come on, you guys are slow! Two minutes left!'
>_>
He doesn't wear a watch...ever.
Note to self: Buy watch for this season so H doesn't kill me since I'm closest to him and he always asks us what time it is...

P A N D A R 3 I
xD;
You know your a Band Geek when you actually sit down with your friends and talk about how much you miss marching season.
You also know you're a band geek when on the way back from football games you get everyone on your bus to sing their parts to the song 'Hey Baby'.
.__________. We got that bored...
The two Euphonium playres started it, then the flutes chimed in, the the trombones started and it just escalated from there...
You should hear songs on kazoos. xd

You know you're in the DHS marching band when...
- You always carry a nickel in your pocket to band camp in case the cymbals need it...(nickels help the knot not slip out of the cymbal...)
- You know exactly why a senior alto sax player calls himself a 'Bro'.
- You've laughed at a announcer mispronouncing the assistant drum major's last name and the judge's tape points it out...XD (It's Men-i-kelly, not Menick-elly, people...)
-You've mocked the drum major for stopping conducting during a competition because she got lost in the middle of a drum feature...and nobody noticed excpet the assistant drum major, who was flailing.
- You've heard the director say he actually misses eating dinner with the band at the end of the week of night camp.
- You know the story behind the choice of the assistant drum major...and it isn't pretty.
- You've mistaken the tallest guy in band for the director once because they had the same hat and were both wearing similar clothes. (That was weird, too...XDD )
- You know how many instruments said band member can actually play.
- You've bummed a dollar off someone for a Cheerwine. When the person is addicted to Cheerwine. And you didn't give them any. Or pay them back. And they didn't care. XD
- You know the story behind the 'gay spider in the Gatorade bottle'...(don't ask...)
... crying
So many awesome people are going to be gone next year...
I don't think we'll ever be as epic ever again.

When you start singing last year's closing number in the hallway, and everyone you're walking with sings there part.
*When you're told to "bop" it, and you sing it as "bop bop bop bop"
When you are at a practice for a sport and you're standing at attention.
When you're at a practice for a sport and yell at people for sitting down without realizing it.
When you listen to a song you've never heard and start conducting it and singing along, because you can guess the chord progression.
*When you know what a webbie is.
(*May be specific to my school)

Lol, i can relate to most of these. When we have practice me and a few of my friends stay after school bringing something to heat up for dinner and we stay till 6, the time it actually starts, and school ends at 2:30 XD and when i stay after school, my parents know to pick me up in the back, right outside the band room. I was only supposed to have band 1 time a day, but i usually went 2 band 3 times XD what is really sad, me and my friends jess and sabz must ALWAYS walk in step, if someone's out of step they get yelled at and told 2 get back, year round. The school had 2 make a football field behind the high school (the actual football field is at the middle school which is the old high school ((the old middle school burned down and they where making a new high school anyways so it all worked out))) ok, so yea, they had to make a field behind the high school so the football players wont mess it up because of so many complaints. What really sucks though is we only have 20 people in the marching band T-T but we still got 2 place in a major competition =D
ok, sorry for my rambling sweatdrop xp whee

1. When you wonder what all those football players are doing on the marching field.
2. When you automatically change your steps to match someone else's while walking down the hall
3. Your social life revolves around your band schedule
4. When you know every short cut, long way, and detour to the band room.
5. When you remember the drill for every show you've ever participated in (my friend can do that, he calls it muscle memory...creepy)
6. When you spend your free time listening to last season's music
7. When the only friends you have are part of that tight band geek circle
8. When you announce with a large amount of pride that you are, in fact, a band geek through and through.
9. When you show off those weird buttons they sell at Field band shows that say funny things about band (Guilty, I have so many of those...All attached to the mini backpack I haul around the field)
10. When the only ones who understand your inside jokes and games are your fellow band geeks.

You know you're a marching band dork when you go to Denny's every Friday night after a game then when marching season is over, one of your non-band member friends asks you to go to Denny's and you say "Eww, Denny's is gross."
((Specific to my band xD))
